Before ridiculing the idea behind the title of this article, let me state my position. In a sense, the NBA is a Development League for the BIG3. Many professional basketball players simply love the game and the thrill of competition. But there comes a time when they have trouble competing, mostly because of advancing age and nagging injuries. For these players, a League that doesn't require grueling practices, workout routines and travel for most of the year is just what they need - with the added benefit that they remain fit and healthy.
Is the NBA the Development League for the BIG3?
