Rapper and actor and now the founder of Big3, Ice Cube recently made his appearance on the latest episode of ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’. In this episode, he spoke about his league Big3 and how they were being perceived as a competitor by the Adam Silver-commissioned NBA for the time being. While speaking to Tyson, Ice Cube revealed how the NBA was discouraging sponsors and partners from engaging with the Big3.
Despite finding some good athletes from Cube’s league, the NBA has looked at Big3 as a competition and thus remained insecure about it.

“They’ve actually been able to find some good players out of our league and invited them to the NBA training camps. We obviously are putting on a great product. Our ratings are better than MLS,” said Ice Cube to ‘Kid Dynamite‘.

“ESPN is involved with the NBA. So, the NBA looks at us as a competitive league. It’s a shame because we’re not a competition. We’re complementary. I think it’s really time for Adam Silver to go,” Cube said.
This led Mike Tyson to assert that the NBA would have been insecure if it was a person instead of a league. Ice Cube could not but agree with the words of ‘Kid Dynamite’.
