The studio sessions that always pop in my head is two days, and I don’t know if they were the best days, but these were the days that pop in my head. What was your favorite studio session from that project? Two weeks ago marked the 25th anniversary of your sophomore album Death Certificate. Ice Cube Teams up With Allen Iverson & Julius Irving for 'BIG3' Promo It’s cool just to see a black man really, really supporting his son like that. So I just wanted to make it fun, and support, because whether you like what he’s doing or not, the man is supporting his son.
I wouldn’t say relieve the pressure, but I know he was getting a lot of flack for his decision, with his son and their shoes. I know I’m too busy right now, so I’m just gonna end up buying the shoes for his AAU kids. He accepted the challenge, but we haven’t been able to get together to really do it. Did he ever make that call to accept the challenge? You challenged LaVar Ball to make a 4-point shot and in exchange, you would buy 10 pairs of his Big Baller Brand shoes. If we would have had a year, all of that stuff would have been smoothed out. So that was a little bit frustrating, because, you know, time was our only enemy. We still feel like the value of what we have is worth a better look from a lot of sponsors, but some came to the table with the look. So this year, we’re really dealing with a few sponsors who really came to the table with what we thought was reasonable - even though we’re a first-year league that’s never played a game. Next year, we’d be down.” So we’re like, “Come talk to us next year.” Our money is already spent up for the summer. The sponsors were running through the same things - they were like, “Yo. So we decided to not sign to anyone throwing out deals. Then, dealing with sponsors, we felt like we gotta play it smart, because a lot of sponsors want to be down, but they want give us first-year bulls–t deals, or sign us for so many years that we’d be kicking ourselves in year three still signed to this five-year contract, when the league went from here to wherever.

Getting the TV deal was a nerve-wracking thing. So anybody could have obtained that and beat us to the punch. Once we started to contact players and get players signed, our debt was out there about what the league was about. We felt like, “Nah.” If we wait, we felt like this idea was so good that somebody was gonna jump us and steal it.
We want it, but we don’t have any room for it this year. We just called some stations and they were like, “Yo, our programming for the summers are already booked. Most leagues take a year at least after they’ve launched to even think about coming out. We launched in January and, we planned six months later. We were behind the 8 ball a little bit, because of time. Most first-year leagues don’t get a deal, so it wasn’t like an automatic guarantee. S–t, man, seeing if we were gonna get a TV deal. What were some of the most nerve-wracking moments you dealt with from when you made the announcement of the BIG3 in March up until now? So we couldn’t be happier to be here in Brooklyn, man.īe honest. We haven’t gotten this down to a science yet, but it’s close, and we got some great people that’s helping us with the jump off. Not easily, but things like getting Brooklyn for our first game here in New York is a good omen to me, because not only has Brooklyn and Barclays been phenomenal in just helping us out in every way, but this is our first game ever. Everything has kind of fallen into place with the BIG3. June 25 will mark the debut of your BIG3 basketball league.
