Ice Cube was elated when an active NBA player participated in the BIG3 All-Star Game over the weekend. His post to show his gratitude was full of praise for Boston Celtics player Jaylen Brown, the first current NBA player to join the BIG3.
Cube expressed his gratitude for Brown and his humongous statement by saying, “Jaylen Brown is my hero. He’s doing everything in his power to help the league succeed. Salute. Forever grateful…”
According to CBS News, Brown, who recently signed the richest contract in NBA history for up to $304 million, joined Team Big in its game against Team 3 in London. Brown was there to support a local charity called London Youth.
In a brief interview, Brown praised Ice Cube and spoke about his participation in the charity event. He said, “Having some fun for charity, giving back to the community, and supporting. It’s amazing being in this environment. Shout out to London, shout out to the O2 [Arena]. Excited to give back to charity, excited to be a part of this, and I appreciate you, Ice Cube.”
Although Brown put up a valiant effort with nine points, five rebounds, and two assists, his team, Team Big, was defeated by Team 3, 51-42.
The BIG3 league consists of retired and former NBA players, but Brown's involvement may open the door for more current players to participate in the future. It will be interesting to see if this is the start of a trend.
