The Big Three is a basketball league that begins play today. Teams with rosters of five players each will play three on three games. The league will tour across the country much like the golf and tennis tours. The teams will not represent a city.
The league is made up mostly of retired NBA players. Several major NBA stars are involved. Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups, Gary Payton, Jermaine O’Neal, Mike Bibby, George Gervin, Al Harrington, Kenyon Martin and Rashard Lewis are among the former NBA All-Start participating in the league.
The league will tour for ten weeks with two weeks of playoffs.
