Just because the NBA season is over doesn’t mean basketball has to stop.

Sure, Summer League isn’t far off, but Ice Cube’s new Big 3 Basketball League, which features a blend of former NBA stars, former NBA role players and Kwame Brown, has the potentially to be either really entertaining. And if not that, it will at least be a good dose of nostalgia for those who get tired of having to watch Jason Williams and Allen Iverson highlight clips on YouTube every day.

Either way, it’s basketball, so that’s good. The first games of the 10-week season are on Sunday, June 25, though they won’t be televised until Monday, June 26 at 8 p.m. ET. That format will hold for the entire season.
