Ice Cube Expands BIG3 Basketball League With Teams In Houston And Miami

Ice Cube recently announced that his sports organization has expanded to Houston and Miami.

He added, “BIG3 is shaping the future of basketball; the gameplay is dynamic and nuanced and the product on the court appeals to the audiences in this incredibly fast-growing region. Basketball fans across South Florida can rest assured that this franchise will soon add to our great region’s winning sports pedigree. Cube in an interview shared where the other cities that he’d like to expand to. “We’d love to be in Toronto, New York, Miami, Chicago, the Bay Area, DC area, Baltimore, DMV, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit,” he expressed. “We’d love to be in Jersey.
