Ice Cube’s Big3 Basketball may sound gimmicky to some, but there’s no way it won’t be entertaining. Jason Williams throwing alley-oops to Kwame Brown. Brian Scalabrine–hopefully–switching on a screen and having to guard Allen Iverson. Kenyon Martin being coached by Rick Mahorn. Stephen Jackson, Reggie Evans and Charles Oakley all on the same team. “Wrong-Rim Ricky” Davis.
There may, however, be some confusion about when to watch.
The first week of games will be played on Sunday, June 25, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but they won’t be televised until the next day. That’s a format that will be followed throughout the season. Here’s a rundown of the Week 1 viewing information:
