With the NBA season still a few months away, some basketball enthusiasts have turned their eyes to the Big3 league for their dose of high-intensity action. The recent game between the Enemies and the Bivouac has certainly delivered that thrill. In a fiery matchup, Bivouac’s head coach Gary Payton and Enemies’ player Jordan Crawford were at the center of a heated clash. The verbal jabs between Payton and Crawford escalated into a notable on-court brawl, although Bivouac clinched the victory. Now, the Enemies’ coach Nick Young, has made a bold statement on social media, promising retribution.
Former Enemies player and current head coach Nick Young took to Instagram to fuel the fire. Sharing a highlight reel of the contentious game in his Instagram story, Young captioned it with a defiant, “We’ll see them again,” setting the stage for a “new rivalry” in the Big3 league.

Transitioning to the on-court drama, Jordan Crawford, who played for the Young’s Enemies, put on a stellar performance with 20 points and 8 rebounds. However, things took a turn when Payton began taunting Crawford, clapping his hands on Crawford’s face. Crawford, clearly irked, shoved Payton, escalating the confrontation.
Payton’s trash talk only intensified the situation, resulting in a physical altercation that had both teams embroiled in the fracas. Fans are now eagerly anticipating the rematch, with many branding this emerging feud as the “new rivalry” of the Big3. While the two teams won’t face off again during the regular season, there is a chance they meet in the Playoffs. Payton’s Bivouac handed Young’s Enemies their first loss of the season.

Interestingly, the video Nick Young shared on his Instagram story was originally created by Big3 itself. They posted it on their official account with the caption, “A rivalry begins (eyes emoji) What will happen if these two see each other in the playoffs?”
Moreover, Nick Young’s Enemies had a golden opportunity to solidify their position in the league standings during that game. However, after a narrow 50-46 defeat, both the Enemies and Bivouac now share a record of 6-1.
