After Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick invested in Ice Cub’s BIG3 league, a 3-on-3 basketball competition, his reps are saying this is inaccurate.
“It’s just not true,” a representative for Kaepernick told The Athletic Thursday.
According to the original report, Kaepernick’s alleged investment would have potentially saved the league from shutting down. As of Thursday, multiple players with the BIG3 league had been preparing for a potential shutdown, per The Athletic.
The BIG3 was founded by rapper and actor Ice Cube along with former entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz in 2017.
