NEW YORK — Hall of Fame basketball player Clyde Drexler is the new commissioner of the Big3 league.
Drexler coached a team last year in the inaugural season of Ice Cube’s 3-on-3 league of former NBA players. He’s signed a three-year deal as commissioner, the Big3 announced Thursday.
He replaces former NBA player Roger Mason Jr., who left following a dispute with the league.
Drexler starred for the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets during his 15-year career, winning a gold medal with the 1992 U.S. Olympic team.
He says the level of play and professionalism last season “far exceeded anything that many of us involved ever imagined.
