DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kickback & Chat host Amber Pickens caught up with music legend, producer, actor and filmmaker Ice Cube in Dallas, Texas this past weekend to talk about the new sports league he created, BIG3. Now in its 4th season, Ice Cube talks about how it has been his career’s most challenging project because he wanted it to be reputable as well as have credibility.
Ice Cube founded BIG3 with entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz in January 2017. Their shared vision of a player-centric league focused on entertainment and innovation. BIG3 innovations to the game of basketball include the 4-point shot, with three 4-point circles beyond the 3-point line.
