There have been many NBA stars who have played for the Big 3.
Well, the globally known rapper and musician Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz are the people behind the famed 3-on-3 pro basketball league.
Recently, one of the best talents of the NBA Jaylen Brown played in Big3 All-Star Game at the O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom.
Well, it wouldn"t be wrong if you say that Brown"s participation in the league has surely upped the standards.
Brown just agreed to a five-year, $304 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics, which is a tremendously expensive deal.
The former California Golden Bears star, who currently has the largest contract in the NBA, was scheduled to play in the All-Star 3-on-3 game for charity.
Ice Cube took to platform X, formerly known as Twitter and announced that Brown will be participating in the game scheduled on Friday.
Jaylen Brown is my hero. He’s making a humongous statement by being the first current NBA player to play in a BIG3 game. By suiting up for our All Star game tomorrow, he’s doing everything in his power to help the league succeed. Salute. Forever grateful…
