This year’s BIG3 draft will occur on Apr. 12, according to a tweet sent out by Ice Cube on Monday afternoon. FS1 will broadcast the live event.
The BIG3 is a 3-on-3 basketball league for former NBA players. It was created by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz in January 2017. After a successful first season, the strictly halfcourt-oriented association is back for 2018.
The rules emulate a playground-style of basketball. First team to 50 wins, and of course, you have to win by two. Hand-checking is also allowed. And then there’s the ability to make a 4-pointer from three different spots.
