While all eyes are on the Olympic Games, and the WNBA has paused for Paris 2024, a championship continues in the United States.
This is the BIG3, the 3×3 league created by Ice Cube. Snubbed by the NBA according to the rapper/producer, this championship survives in anonymity, and former NBA and European league stars continue to put on a show. And not only on the court as Gary Payton proved tonight.
Coach of the Bivouac, the former Sonics loudmouth got heated with Jordan Crawford, star of the Enemies. Gary Payton did not stop “trash talking” on the sidelines, and the opposing player went to look him up after a basket. “The Glove” did not appreciate it, and he put both his hands on the face of the former Wizards guard.
The other players stepped in to separate them. In the end, Corey Brewer's Bivouac (17 pts, 13 rbds) won 50-46 against the Enemies. It's the first defeat of the season for Nick Young's Enemies, joined at the top of the standings by… the Bivouac.
