Let the pressure cooker of the BIG3 season begin.
With a condensed schedule of 13 different dates running throughout the summer starting in Los Angeles on June 20, the stakes are high for every single game in the fight for positioning in the standings with a championship as the end goal.
There is no safety net of 82 games to make up ground in pursuit of that trophy, which only figures to add to the excitement level at each of the nine locations that will host the games during the league’s ninth season.
“We have great fans throughout the league, and now that we’re playing in these cities, we just expect the excitement to grow and grow,” actor, music legend and league co-founder Ice Cube told Bleacher Report.
“It’s going to be great. We’re going to have a great season. This league gets better and better every year. So all basketball fans please support the BIG3 and keep watching in the summer after the NBA Finals are over.”
