worcat Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So this is like a Globetrotters style game that travels to markets that don't have professional teams? Am I understanding that correctly? Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I understanding that correctly? Partly, sure. Also a trial balloon for a player-owned league (if you want to go there). Also a way for just-retired players to see maybe if they still got it. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats are gonna get $100K each for the season. And they don't have TV/digital yet and just because you're on TV doesn't mean that TV is paying you, especially in the summer.

dfwabel Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Bump as here are the cities and dates: June 25: Barclays Center, Brooklyn July 2: Spectrum Center, Charlotte July 9: BOK Center, Tulsa, OK July 16: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia July 23: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville July 30: American Airlines Center, Dallas August 6: Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY August 13: Staples Center, Los Angeles August 20: Key Arena, Seattle, (Playoffs) August 26: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada (Championship Finals) I think tickets are kinda ridiculously priced, ranging from $27-750 on Ticketmaster, but it includes a mini-concert. Plus, they had a draft over the weekend. https://mobile.twitter.com/thebig3/status/858828372234739712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I love that Kwame Brown was fifth overall. Last I checked, only Brooklyn tickets were on sale. KeyArena is going to sell out. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalabrine and Kenyon Martin are playing in the league -- that is some Nets-o-riffic goodness right there! It's really too bad they aren't on the same team. But Scalabrine's team will be coached by another Net, Rick Barry; and a different team is coached by the greatest Net of all, Dr. J! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sprewell is fat. Who is he trying to kid? Bummed Earl Boykins didn't make it. You'd think smaller size would be more valuable in a 3 on 3 league. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendall Gill lost a shooting contest to Leigh Ellis of "The Starters", so all those dudes had to see that on NBATV and gave Kendall the thumbs down.

Just carve out their own niche. Plus, basketball is so much cheaper than football. The overall expense is incredibly smaller. Between equipment/venues needed, to the number of players per team and their pay. The one thing this league is doing is something I thought the XFL should have done. Divorce teams from cities, and just have 8 teams and have them play games randomly all over as doubleheaders. Fans could adopt any team they wanted without some regional or local bias.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I said it months ago, but some see the 3 on 3 league as a thought balloon for whether players could own and run their own league. I bet a player-owned league would eventually turn into what we have now -- player/owners would retire, find partners, want a bigger cut, etc. -- but the idea of it is interesting. I haven't purchased tickets for the Seattle playoff yet because they're stupidly expensive, but I'll likely keep an eye on SeatGeek as it gets closer. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
