The Big3 Has Averaged More Viewers Than The NHL & MLS Since Its Inception.

If the age limit has changed then this is competition then

Seems like Martin was off

Big 3 league format and rules, explained: 4-point shot, game clock and more

Today, the Big 3 boasts talented rosters filled with NBA and international players. But this isn't your traditional three-on-three league operating under FIBA rules.

Ice Cube founded the Big 3 back in 2017. Initially, there was a minimum age limit set at 30 years old, but that has since been dropped to 22.

NGL the way nikkas formed like voltron on here to be against this topic is amazing.

I don’t agree with the way cube been moving but nikkas acting super funny in here . It’s quite possible the shyt he’s seeing behind the scenes is somehow influencing his stance on certain things .You can be against the nikka in some aspects but acknowledge true shyt when you see it ....I thought men did that .…

The 400K number is true. Big 3 viewership was in that steady 400K viewer range last summer too…that’s not a failing league . When you look at the numbers It really is comparable to MLB national games

Big 3 can’t get major money because of limited dates and probably a lack of relationship..but the narrative surrounding it doesn’t match up with reality

nikkaS RAN IN HERE
BOOT LICKING HARD.

NONE OF THESE DUDES SUPPORTED
THE LEAGUE 4 YRS AGO
SO ITS AMUSING TO SEE THEM
PRETEND CUBES CURRENT PODCAST
TOUR IS THE REASON THEY ARENT
SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE.

It’s obvious that Cube is being played by these racist ass crackers. But his ego and pride was hurt by the Democrats so now he’s switching sides. It’s 100% fine to call out the Democrats on their bullshyt but I don’t see him doing the same for the republicans? He’s a puppet plain and simple.

I’m not supporting you just because you’re black. There’s plenty of black people out there (like him) who are full of shyt.

On what? What does he need from the NBA that is cockblocking this blossoming league? Did Cube want Melo to play for Aliens and Silver said no or something? Isaiah Thomas out here begging for work. Why hasn’t he joined 3’s Company? There’s hall of fame coaches for The Big 3. Is Adam Silver gonna make Dr. J pay to get into an arena now?

If the growth is real, shop your league around. Make CBS pay more. We’re in the middle of a strike that has gone on since May. Can The Big 3 get more than 2 hours on a weekend?

It’s less about the lack of coverage. If Sportscenter led off with Donte Greene’s spectacular night against Michael Beasley, that’s when you call it a night.

The same support the Senior PGA tour gets. It's not that complicated. The NBA is clearly doing shyt behind the scenes, the fact sports media is silent on the Big 3's ratings is telling

The Republicans have been more willing to speak to him, he even called Tucker an enemy to his face wtf are you talking about.

Why does the NBA NEED to support the Big 3? What do they get out of it? The NBA is not a charity. They don't have to support any basketball if they don't want to. I don't see And 1 complaining that the NBA didn't support them.

And why would the NBA support a business that is competing against their business? The NBA has the WNBA and Summer League during the Summer. The Big 3 would cut into those businesses if the NBA invested in the Big 3.

because while the ratings aren't bad, they're not something so grand that the NBA must do something to partner up with them.

Now, for the glass half-empty on those ratings,


It was the lowest rated sports watch on a network that day. Everything below it was on cable. The event that was on before the Big 3 was the Scottish Open and it did twice the numbers. In head to head comp, more people were watching Steph Curry golf on NBC.

Now, let's do the last 2 weeks.

Big 3 7/23 - 503K. Only network event that did lower was France /Jamaica Women's World Cup at 6am., but it didn't do all that much worse than other events.


Big 3 7/30- 559K Good news: It outdrew Fulham /Chelsea on NBC. Bad news: it did worse than bullriding which preceded it.

so fairly consistent more or less. It appeals to a niche audience. I guess you think if the NBA partnered up with them and spammed the shyt outta you with Big 3 ads the way they do with the WNBA that it would make waves, but the people who like the Big 3 are the ones who watch it. The product isn't gonna bring casuals the way you think it would. If watching NBA Cares ads didn't make you wanna paint a school, Big 3 ads everywhere ain't gonna compel you to stay home on a summer day and see what dumb shyt Royce White wrote on his head.

The Senior tour is a…drumroll…branch of the PGA. Wtf is the Big3

22 year olds can play in the Big 3

 

[MJ Truth]

His Dumbass was talking like the NBA shouldn't be treating him like a competitor. Yall said he was too small for that to matter, and yet this thread just proved why the NBA is smart not to fukk with him.
Cube should be going after ESPN if he's upset about coverage, of course rival sports don't fukk with him. and want to keep a competitive advantage

How is Big 3 competition?? It’s literally not even the same game they’re playing.

 

[Apprentice]

Fair enough, but live action basketball should demand more than prescripted second tier wrestling

Lol and why should it? nikkas in AEW way more athletic than big 3 players

 

[Apprentice]

They had TBT on ESPN yesterday

I was confused and bewildered. Sitting there like


Apparently its some tournament with a 1 million dollar prize. The blackball is real, even though Cube has been c00ning

U serious breh TBT is higher quality hoops than big 3

I just watched Kenyon Martin say people don’t want to work with the Big 3 because Cube’s business associates have put a lot of people off behind the scenes. I highly doubt some of the resistance they’re receiving is purely down to the NBA seeing them as competition.

Also, I don’t get why the Big 3 isn’t trying to link up with FIBA since there’s a whole international 3x3 league. Would make sense to franchise off that and offer players an avenue to compete in World Cup competition instead of just being a summer league.
