The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, but once they’re over, it’s all about Ice Cube’s BIG3 league.
Fans will get the benefit of watching former NBAers showcase their skills in the 3-on-3 format. Plenty of big names will be strutting their stuff on the court, including Allen Iverson (coach), Gary Payton, Chauncey Billups, Charles Oakley, Latrell Sprewell, Mike Bibby and others.
There are a total of eight teams, and the regular season will consist of eight games, all of which will be played on Saturdays, for our viewing pleasure.
Here’s the official schedule, per a release by the BIG3.

The league did a good job of picking venues all over the country, but I wish they had planned to come to Washington, DC, to be able to view the action in person.
