Video: Ice Cube talks about his relationship with NBA
The Big3 3-on-3 basketball league was established by rapper and actor Ice Cube and entertainment industry magnate Jeff Kwatinetz, as is well known. There are 12 teams in the league, and each roster includes former NBA players and international athletes. As a result, there is a battle between the two brands because it looks like this league is directly competing with the NBA, the top basketball league. Cube also discusses the conflict on the podcast.
The well-known rapper was questioned regarding the NBA team Los Angeles Lakers. He responded, “I’m not sure. Unfortunately, I haven’t been watching the Lakers this season. I am a little bitter about the NBA, but I have been focused on other things.”

Big3: Ice Cubeproblems with ESPN and NBA
According to Ice Cube’s prior statements in the video, the NBA and ESPN are purportedly trying to sabotage his Big3 basketball league. He also said that the two significant sports powers disregard the Big 3’s inventions and contributions. The exchange went like this: “Support is important at the end of the day. You are aware that neither the NBA nor ESPN is supporting us,” said Ice Cube.
“I don’t think ESPN would get engaged with this,” Tyson retorted.
“No, because ESPN is associated with the NBA, they view us as a competitive league,” said Cube. “And it’s unfortunate because we don’t compete. We work well together, as you are aware. I believe that Adam Silver should resign.”
