• 2:04
  Speaker 5: played football, So I came over late to try to
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: play basketball. You know, it's already started pretty pretty much
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: by the time footballs is over. With so David, he
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: was like, man, you ain't getting no love. Even though
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I worked at point guard at practice. We did a
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: little one on one, but you know, he wouldn't let
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: me play.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: So just watch. I just had I tried to, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Listen, bro, he got a tripled up with the pick
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: up game.
• 2:37

  Speaker 4: He was keeping status.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: No, I fucked around double. I was just got a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: triple double. Different.
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: It wasn't even like I was trying. Yeah, yeah, light work. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: but who'd you start to Big three with? Started it
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: with my manager. You know, he's my partner, Jeff Kuantis.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: You've been you know, we've been working together.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: So I got to be twenty five, almost twenty seven
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: years something like that, and we big sports fans, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you know, seeing Kobe score sixty points in his last game,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I was kind of hot. I missed the game, and shit,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I was shooting a movie in Atlanta. My wife, you know, kids,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: they went to the game. They was all hype. Then
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I was like, damn, I started just a realization of
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: I can't see this dude, hoop no more like I
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: cannot go nowhere and pay to see this dude play,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: and that's some bullshit, you know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And so I was like, man, it's got to be
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a way.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: So now I'm starting to think of this idea I
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: had in the back of my head for years about
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: three on three. I used to be like, why haven't
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: they been elevated to the pro level. So now these
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: ideas are starting to come together. I'm talking to Jeff.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: We're shooting the shit, and we're like, what would a
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: league look like? So, you know, we just bullshit, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: talking about it. We spent the whole year, like all
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: twenty sixteen talking about rules. You know, I would do
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: it like this, I would do that. I wouldn't do
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: this because you know they do that shit in the NBA.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Niggas don't like that, you know what I mean when
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: they get out. I would do it like this. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: so we just was like, damn, this is a good
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: ass idea, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's tight,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: business models tight. So we start asking, you know, like
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: niggas we knew from the game, would y'all be down
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: with something like this, like a you know, a Clyde
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Drexler and you know, Kenyan Martin and Chauncey Billups and
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: these dudes. Was like, oh yeah, this is tight. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: then that's how I just was like, man, let's.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: You swore boy, because uh, I was gonna ask you
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: what I thought about it. The niggas old so you
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: kept a half court.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But you know I played three on three full court before.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: It's bullshit.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: You just get a bunch of cher dude standing down
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: to throw it, do it. You're throwing the ball way
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: down there, soth'ing like nobody want to see that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You know, half quarter is the way.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: And you know, it was just about elevating it because
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: everybody liked three on three.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody liked to play.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: It because you get to touch the ball. You're really
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: involved in the wind, you know. So I was like, Yo,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: this could be done if the pros buy into it,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Like if the you know, if the niggas that play
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: on that level buy into it and want to play,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: how couldn't everybody else get into it?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You got the best in
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the world doing it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You gotta ask how I feel like, you know what
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, coming straight out of the league to see
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that as another opportunity. Like you said, a lot of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: times players don't want to retire. A lot of things
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: take place, front office, health, injury audio above. Now you've
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: got an outlet still because y'all still hoop. It don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: matter the next day y'all steal basketball players. I still
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: want to get to it. Now have another outlet to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: show your skills and live your dreams.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: As far now, it was huge for me. It's more
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like a financial thing. He brought another league. For some
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: guys when you retire, they go through this little part
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: where it's kind of a rough patch, and then he
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: kind of gave them like another outlet to even make
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: some money. But like you said, as a competitor, to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: be able to get out there and hoop and then
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: still have fans in the stands, get to talk crazy,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: have some of your highlights showing around the world, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. To play on TV. Still, it's a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: huge opportunity. I mean, I appreciate it because it was
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: cool for me. Like y'all know me, I hoop every
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: day at home, but to get back and be on
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: TV and people talking crazy to me and stuff, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: wasn't used to that, so it was cool to be
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: back in that kind of and that kind of moment.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I feeling to take you and knowing your body is shattered.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Take that. Take that. Yeah, it's a cube bro Rock
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: with the handicap.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: A lot. I got a question though, did you know
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it was gonna be the Olympic sport when you was
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: like first started.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: No, we didn't know. They Actually we just jumped out
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: there because we was like, we looked at feb and
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: we was like, nah, that's that's that's amateur basketball. You
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, that's the amateur version. We're gonna
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: elevate just to something better than that. And so we
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: were just moving forward. And then once we launched, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: think about three months later, the Olympics said, Yo, we're
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: gonna put it in in the Olympics, and you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: we was like, Yo, this just gives it more credibility.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm credibility for s.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And like you said, Man, we seen you coming out
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: talking about let cube handle that. And the thing I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: don't like about it is it's very possible. Like you said,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we know the rules, we know the guidelines. Man already
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: has the infrastructure in place to make that happen. We
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: got to make that happen, man, because what they did
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: out there, now, we got to redeem ourselves.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Man, come on, man, everybody know we got better players,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: everybody like Dawn And so I think it's pettiness, you know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, the NBA, they don't like what
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: we're doing. You know, even though Adam Silver told me
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: he did like what I was doing, and you know
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: his his his words exactly was the more basketball, the merrier,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: you know, which we you know for you know those
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: bullshit now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: They involved with USA basketball. We've been asking since twenty twenty,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: since they didn't even make it in Tokyo. Y'all know
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: our three or three didn't even make the Olympics qualify.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: So we asked again. They was like thank you, but no,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: thank you. We got it and we see what they got.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they probably gonna be asking now. It's gonna
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: be in LA too.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Come on, man, yeah, hopefully you know, if they know
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: what's good for them, they should act and our guys
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: will play.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: You know, our.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Guys been you know, they'd love to represent the country
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: in three on three.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Come on to you. You know what I do years ago, right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Forty this left.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'll go out there, keep your rotation. Sub let's go,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: we get it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: What about the expansion cities though, like you playing on
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: expanded to more cities?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Like how many cities you want to be a part
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: of it? We?
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Uh, we got twelve teams. Now we're gonna sell a
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: twelve and put them in different cities. Okay, right now,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: we got LA Miami, Houston, and Detroit. So once we
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: place these other eight, then we'll look to go to
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: sixteen teams, maybe twenty teams. Man place those in cities. Okay,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: And and you just open up the fan base. You know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: we feel like we've proven the sport. People dig it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Now if you connect these teams to cities and people
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: even be more invested into the league and to the
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: players into the teams, and you know, it's just it'd
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: go to a different level from there.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And that's the dope part about it, is like for
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you to start your own league and that we're all
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: growing with the league, and a lot of people don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: remember like back in the NBA days before it was
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: super Power was on tape to let it's like to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: see this league grow in real time, especially with the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: players and the social media and everybody saying, you can
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: see that we're walking in this and now you're getting
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the cities involved. You know how many people got feelings
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and cities about and pride about their city. Is this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: dope to see the evolution of this, Like you got
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: some of the younger players who may not have super
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: long careers, like the Isaiah Briscos, and somebody got the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: YouTube players that playing the balls life guys. It's just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: growing all this stuff together. It's dope to see it
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: progress like this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we felt like, you know, three on
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: three is its own sport. You know, just because you
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: was dope in five on four, Wow, that don't mean
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: you're gonna come out in the Big three and get loose.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta have all skills set. You gotta
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and defend or you're
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: gonna get exposed. So we felt like, well, we can
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: develop our own athletes. We can develop our own stars,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you know, like Isaiah Brisco. You know, people might not
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: have saw him in the n b A or might
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: not know how much game he got, but you know
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: he's a good player. Uh, the Kevin Murphy's of the world.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: You know, Garland Green. You know, these dudes who really
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: making a name for theirself in the in the three
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Big Three, in the three on three game, and they
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: might have missed their calling a little bit.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: In the NBA that don't matter.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: No ball and this ball and a baller is a baller.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And we got them on display. You know, we got
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: the best three league in the world without a doubt
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: to the m v P.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Mike Bees, ye might be bucket five book.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Now, I ain't gonna lie too like playing like you're
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: talking about the cities, Like going to Jersey this year,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I ain't. That was crazy, That's what I ain't had
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: that kind of feeling a long time. The crowd was amazing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It was packed in there. And then for Briscoe, like
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you said, for be from there and how the crowd
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: was behind them talking crazy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: It was a vibe in there. Then you don't win
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: that game though, Yeah, you know we want.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: That's why you like this somebody man.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: For Briscoe to be going on like that in Boom
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Boom Boom were one.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: For sure. This is cool. That's what it's all about.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: It's putting these guys back in the arena, back where
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: where they belong, you know what I mean. Even to
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: see our coaches. You know, you got Gary Payton about
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to go against the Year, even going against Cooper. You know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: they they been yelling at each other for since the eighties.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: It's dope to uh to see them guys back, you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: not just waving to the crowd. Hey they go Iceman,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you know, but they coaching and they want to win,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: and they yelling at the reps, yelling at each other.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: You know, it's funny shit to see Iceman cussing that
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Rick Berry and.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah they're still on that. You know, they won't let
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: it go.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: And Rick Mchorn and these dudes, you know, still got
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: that competitive fire. And the NBA don't have no coaching
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: job for these dudes, you know what I'm saying. So
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: for us to have it in the Big Three is
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: just that cherry on top full fan.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So, like you said, you're preserving the legends and introduce
• 13:40

• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know who Michael Cooper is,

• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you started off as a pioneer music. One thing I
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: always want to give you credit for is the fact that,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, one of your favorite movies,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, them documenting how they came
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: up with w A.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: When you went in that office, Bro, you became a
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: true legend. Uh, you were crazy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: We always had what.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: It was like, they used to roast me all the
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: time because since that movie, I haven't been to the theaters, like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: y'all was it for me?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You know what I mean.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: I had to see there before like four times, so
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: that bad scene is special to my heart.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was special to mine too. It's a trip
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: because in that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Scene, if you look at my son, he's saying, uh,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: you promised me this, man, I'm getting the house and
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: I got a baby.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: On the way. What a baby on the way was
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: as that? You know what I'm saying.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so uh yeah, you know it ain't. It
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: ain't a proud moment, but I was happy I did it,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Like sometimes you know that
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: pencil pin ship, that lawyer ship, you just gotta shown.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Man, he was thinking ahead of the game. You gotta
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: show him.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: You know, we ain't We got to take it back
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: to you got to take it back to the eighties
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: on this one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: We ain't readegotiation.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We was like, well ice cube, dude. But the no
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: part about it, like it showed how you obviously you
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: are serious about your art, but you were always like, Okay,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I need to be compensated for my art. While am
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I having conversations if I'm showing up and doing it
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: every day. And it makes sense with how you progress
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: with everything, how you progress through music, how you progress
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: through art and film, and how you progressing with the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Big Three. For somebody that's starting off, what would you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: say was the most important thing that should probably lock
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in no matter what they got going on.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you gotta believe in yourself for show,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: and you gotta to me, you know, not really take
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: no fun answer when you know that is the truth.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: What you're talking about is real, what you can really
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: make it happen. You know, sometimes somebody say no today,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: but me I go asking the same goddamn thing. Y'all
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: wait two weeks and then that's the same thing because
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: he might have just been having a bad day, or
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: you know, you give it a little time and you
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: acts again.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: You go again because the.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Person you acting circumstances might change and then they you
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: might be just the person they looking for. You dig like,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: so believe in yourself. Don't take no fun answer. You know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Noah's like, Okay, two weeks, I'm gonna ask you that's again,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: and then I might wait another two weeks and I'll
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: show that's again. Funny story you know real quick. We
• 22:40

  Speaker 5: you can't hold back.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: If you did them, I ain't like you. You was
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: out of pocket for naming that motherfucker no Vassellia.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I wanted to be very you, no doubt.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I want to hurt Chilling, and we made it much better.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: It's like seeing the movie to say, what let up
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to it and then you drop it was like that's.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know it's ah. I wasn't near when they
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: heard it. So I was learning ship making the movie.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I was like, I was listening to it, like yeah, yeah,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: we was listening to that, okay, So you know it's
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: a trip making that straight compon movie because I had to.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: I was learning stuff that I didn't know because I
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: was on this side of town, they on that side
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: of the town, and you know, we're kind of going
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: through this in a parallel universe. So I was discovering
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: ship and they was probably discovering what we was thinking
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: on that side of the table. So it was, I said, Man,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: if I'm learning shit from this movie, everybody gonna be
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: learning ship from this.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Definitely.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: That's dope, man, that by Felicia.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Everybody nobody knew that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't, but nobody knew that don't just experience at
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the same time. But to go back and look at
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: that you saw about you and Dre like to see
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: where y'all were then. Obviously y'all was already successful then
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for y'all to be muggus the way we are now,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: how is that To look back and reflect on that, sometimes.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful, you know.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: It's uh, we all just stuck to our to our convictions,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: you know, in our own way, and you know, we
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: had a lot of opposition coming up, a lot of
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: opposition not only from you know, the music business, but
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the government. And to see us just you know, still
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: do it our way and kind of let the chips
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: for what they may and then you know, we was
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: able to land on our feet. It's it's a pretty
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: cool story and hopefully it inspires, you know, anybody coming
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: up behind us that you know, sometimes you gotta do
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: it your way, you know, even if it's if it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: not popular at the time.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you just gotta You're happier when you do it
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: your way, whether it works or not.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: And I've seen people make it, you know, and they
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: had pop songs and shit, they hated performed them every
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: night they was on tour, but they hated performing their
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: own songs. And so I was like, I never want
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: to be like that ever.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So it's real, as we said, you're a testament both
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: of y'all keeping around, standing true to ourselves. Obviously you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: can tell that reflects for the Big Three and the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: reasons why it's growing away it is. You got young
• 29:30
