Exclusive with Ice Cube: BIG3 was a hit in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Sunday was a good day.

It’s all because people in Brooklyn love fun basketball. Just like Kenny Atkinson said: Brooklyn is basketball.

People learned that firsthand at the BIG3 tournament, where retired NBA players formed teams and played four games of 3-on-3 at Barclays Center. It was a fun day. No hostility towards the other teams. Just good ol’ fashion streetball inside a gym.

Maybe not the Brooklyn way. After all it was INSIDE, but there was nowhere better to host it than BKN. In fact, they played in front of a packed house of 15,177 fans at Barclays Center.
