The actor founded the basketball league in 2017.
Even if Ice Cube will be busy voicing Superfly in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, he's always had one particular dream for the future of his career. The actor founded the Big3 basketball league back in 2017, establishing a new format for playing the classic sport with smaller teams and a slightly modified set of rules.
The moment I decided to go ahead with the Big3 is the moment that Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in his last game. And I wasn't there. I almost cried. I did cry. I think that’s gotta be in it. I wasn't there. I was working. I wasn't there. How could I forgive myself? I had to start to Big3. The Big3 continues to hold matches every year, with the roster of players constantly changing as time goes by. While Ice Cube has made a name for himself in the film industry, basketball is a passion that clearly holds a very special place within his heart, as he looks for a way to combine the best of both worlds.
Basketball and the movie industry are not complete strangers, as several productions have been based around the sport and the cultural impact it leaves behind. Some of the movies that have notoriously featured basketball in the spotlight have been the Space Jam films, where professional players team up with the Looney Tunes to take on powerful villains.
