Ice Cube is trying to give us Sports again
 

What a god damn hero. Do you think they could ever do this for the NFL? Quarantine them all in one place, with their family at a football field complex. Televise it.

The Big3 basketball league is working to launch -- under quarantine -- a reality-show-style 3-on-3 tournament.

"We've been working on safety issues to make sure we can do this responsibly," Big3 executive Jeff Kwatinetz told Marc Spears of The Undefeated. "We've made a lot of headway since last week and are hoping to move this forward as people need sports and entertainment to get them through hard times."

Kwatinetz and Big3 co-founder Ice Cube have been negotiating with a high-profile television partner to air the show.

BIG3 lowers minimum age amid major changes
Yahoo Sports first reported the Big3's plans.

"It's 'Big Brother' meets Big3," Ice Cube told Spears. "If we can do it in a safe and responsible manner, we will."

According to the Yahoo Sports report, the preseason event would feature seven rounds of games, take place in Los Angeles and include 16 to 22 players who have tested negative for the coronavirus. Players would be under isolation in a large house with a basketball court, the report said, citing sources.

In January, the league announced some major changes, including playing a new sport known as FIREBALL3 as the result of game innovations. The Big3 has also lowered its minimum age for qualifying athletes from 27 to 22.

Doubt this happens...

i had thought about it. why not just do some skills competitions televised. players dont have to get close to each other. i mean basically this would be a good time for the pro bowl lol.

Why use players that test negative? The positives are probably more popular and aren’t at risk of catching it.

I know a guy, played collegiately for the Shockers, that’s a must have on any 3v3 team.

Would you rent him out to use in future 3 vs 3 tourneys?

I was interested until I opened the thread and saw that it was basketball.

Playing zone would create a quarantine area that can't be entered, it would make driving to the rim a.bioharard mother****er.
