Big 3 is a League Founded by Ice Cube, Who is Also the Proud Owner of DeGods #3177
The Big 3 is a 3-on-3 basketball league founded in January 2017 by actor and music legend Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz. The two pioneers in their respective industries had a vision of a half-court, player-centric basketball league focused on entertainment and innovation. The league introduced ‘the 4-point shot, with three 4-point circles beyond the 3-point line.
Ice Cube recently made headlines for his purchase of DeGods NFT #3177 for 265 Solana (approximately $26,500 using a SOL price of $100).
