Ice Cube’s BIG3 basketball league will kick off its third season this summer, and if it’s anything like the previous two, fans have even more excitement coming their way.
In the last few weeks, they’ve announced numerous additions, like Joe Johnson, Gilbert Arenas, Al Jefferson, Ronnie Brewer, Carlos Arroyo, Brandon Rush, and many others.
Now, we can add Jason Terry to the mix as well. The 19-year NBA vet last played for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2018, but his passion for the game has not wavered one bit.
The 41-year-old is ready to lace them back up again and join some of his former NBA peers for some 3-on-3 half-court action.
He not only wants to compete, but has a goal of breaking the league’s four-point record.

The biggest reason, the No. 1 reason, is my love for the game and for the fans. Watching the BIG3 the last two years — the first year I was able to attend the championship game in Vegas, last year I was at one of the home games in Dallas — sitting courtside, I promised Cube, the very first year that I retire, that I will play in the BIG3. One, it’s an entertaining league. Two, a lot of the guys playing — you’re talking about Jermaine O’Neal, Nate Robinson, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson — these are all guys that either were on my team or I played against while I was in the league, so we’re a tight brotherhood. That relationship alone, and then having fun, going out and playing the game that you love in front of the fans, touring around the United States with fans that haven’t gotten seen you play in a while, is ultra-fun.
Terry brings championship experience to the BIG3, having won a title with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011.
