Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime: Ice Cube Claims FIBA Is Scared Of The Big3, Preventing The Gold Medalists From Playing Them For $150k
And the update:
How the hell can someone say no to this? What if the Netherlands just decide to go play themselves? I need Ice Cube to start showing up at random 3x3 events across the world now to prove a point. Demand a game until it happens. Make it a little White Men Can't Jump combined with Hustle. I know 3x3 isn't 'real' basketball. It's weird, it's still something I'm going to watch even if I currently hate 3x3 because of the torn achilles. I won't ever blame myself for getting old and a weird injury. No, I'll blame the sport, other people, a floor, whatever else it takes. That's accountability.
But now I want to see this, especially next summer. We have a dead period next summer. A year away from the World Cup, a year after the Olympics. We need something to get behind. If that means Ice Cube, Joe Johnson, Michael Beasley and some others playing random Olympians in 3x3 so be it. Give me anything to watch during the day, especially if I still can't walk correctly in 9 months.
Again, it's simple for me. I don't care the sport, you put on the red, white and blue I want to win by 100. Jimmer, Canyon Barry and crew ain't gonna do that. Now I'm intrigued by Beasley, Joe Johnson and crew. Remember how awesome Michael Beasley was at Kansas State? We need to talk about that more. This is the perfect opportunity. So it's time to invade exhibitions and tournaments. Ice Cube needs to show up wherever there's a game and demand to be entered until we win. End the 3x3 debate once and for all.
