The 2019 season for the BIG3 Basketball League is less than a month away. The season is slated to jump off June 22nd and they have plans to make Season 3 the biggest season thus far!
A few weeks back, the leagues co-founders, Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, appointed Amit Bajaj as the new CEO for the 3-on-3 basketball league.
“BIG3 has always been about blending sports with innovation when it comes to entertainment and the way fans experience the game. Amit has that same kind of vision,” said Ice Cube.
“We got to know Amit as we worked with him to evaluate several deals and transactions the league has considered,” said Jeff Kwatinetz. “But even more important than his business acumen, Amit espouses the values we consider crucial — a commitment to diversity, a belief in player empowerment, and an integrity of the highest degree.”
This announcement came on the heels of the news that BIG3 had signed a broadcast deal with CBS. As if that wasn't enough growth for the new season, the league will now have twelve teams as oppose to the eight.
This week, the league announced additional dates to round out the league's 11 week season across 18 cities: Salt Lake City July 27, Milwaukee August 4, Miami August 10, and New Orleans for the playoffs August 25.
