The Big 3 has enjoyed a surge of excitement every weekend since they began in June. The Big 3’s has takn their show to Brooklyn, New York’s Barclays Center, Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, Chicago’s UIC Pavilion and will makes stops at LA’s Staples Center, Seattle’s Key Arena and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

One of the biggest draws to the Big 3 is nostalgia. Players like Kenyon Martin, Stephen Jackson, Jason Williams, Rashad McCants and Allen Iverson; guys who ruled the NBA world with their personality and their skills are giving 3-on-3 basketball a good name.

Allen Iverson, probably the most recognizable face in the league has become a fixture at games, serving the role as both coach and player on the 3s Company team.

Iverson will return to the Big 3 fold at Staples Center on Sunday after serving a one-game suspension because he missed the Big 3’s games in Dallas a couple of weeks back.

Iverson issued an apology: 

“First and foremost, I apologize to Ice Cube and my Big3 family, my fans and everyone disappointed by my absence in Dallas this past weekend,” Iverson said. “I have spoke with Ice Cube directly regarding the details of my absence. I will do my best to make up for this moving forward on the Big3 tour.”

Speaking of nostalgia, the Big 3’s jersey are all interesting. Honestly they remind me of jerseys from the 1996 film Space Jam, starring Michael Jordan. They’re colorful, a bit cartoonish, but solid. Those uniforms are making a retro comeback too! They’re a customizable option on NBA 2K 17.

Iverson’s not buying the Space Jam comparison. “Nah,” Iverson told Scoop B Radio with a grin. “I like ’em. Cube let me see them before he let everybody else see em. I gave him the thumbs up.”

Iverson, a culture expert, gave his take on all eight teams. “I like all the uniforms,” he said.

“All of ’em!”

The Big 3’s website recently began selling replica’s of the uniforms for around $100 a pop.

“I like them, 3s Company guard Andre Owens told Scoop B Radio.

“All eight teams have their own unique style. It’s a pretty good look.”

Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller has a huge ten round fight against Gerald Washington on Saturday. The Brooklyn native’s match is an undercard to Mikey Garcia and Adrien Broner’s bout at Barclays Center.

‘Big Baby’ is excited to see it. In an interview on the Get Fit Radio Podcast and webseries, Big Baby Miller weighed in on August’s big fight. “I mean, to beat Floyd he is gonna need a gun,” Jarell ‘Big Baby’ Miller told Get Fit Radio’s host Eric Salvary on McGregor.

The conversation began at the 3:00 mark

“I mean there’s nothing he can do to beat Floyd at this point. I’m not sure he has a legit boxing coach, but he would have to get with a legit boxing coach. It would take years to get those fundamentals down. He does have natural ability on some movement and pretty decent hand eye coordination, so he’ll definitely pick up a lot of fights. I mean, he is a fighter, but to stick with boxing, he would have to focus on boxing and get an enthusiastic coach that knows what he’s doing.”

Lonzo Ball is the talk of the town in Las Vegas this week. The newly minted Los Angeles Lakers point guard began the Summer League posting five points on 2-of-15 shooting (1-of-11 from downtown) and five assists against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers would lose 96-93 while wearing his signature Big Baller Brand ZO2 shoes that are retailed at $495.

Ball would right the ship on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers by notching 36 points in a win against the Philadelphia 76ers. The face of the Big Baller Brand also turned heads when he donned a purple pair of Kobe Bryant’s Kobe AD sneakers.

“At BBB, you can play in what you want,” Lonzo Ball told ESPN’s SportsCenter after the win. “I already played in both of my shoes, might as well get the ‘Mamba Mentality’ going. Put ’em on, and it worked out tonight.”

Check Out RESPECT Magazine’s Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson talking Lonzo Ball on NYC’s FloEmpire Radio with Brandon Nix.

Last night,, Ball tried on another pair of shoes: James Harden’s Adidas Harden Vol. 1 LS kicks.

Ball, the Lakers’ rookie and number 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft messed around and got a triple double in the three stripe kicks. He posted 16 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds in the Lakers’ 94-83 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA’s Summer League.

Lonzo’s dad, LaVar told ESPN.com’ Darren Rovell:

“Lonzo is not forced to wear any brand and can play in any shoe he wants as long as it’s OK with the NBA. This is what being independent is all about.”

In the NBA super teams are a trend. The Golden State Warriors’ Kevin Durant. Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson found a way to make it work. Imagine if a QB and WR tandem of Michael Vick and Terrell Owens running the NFL in their prime was a thing!

Vick would have had the marquee wide receiver he’d always craved back when he was an Atlanta Falcon.

Could you imagine T.O. having folks get their popcorn ready every Sunday? The two tried it in the land of make belief in a Nike commerical.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Neville Hewitt has been Mr. Reliable on both defense and special teams during his first two seasons. Hewitt started two games in 2015 and five last season while never missing a game overall. During his first season he played 53 more snaps on defense. But his special teams play must have stood out warranting the extra 67 snaps gained this season. His overall combined snaps went up this season by 78 and he had three more for special teams.

His workout regimine has been insane. Check out his interview with Eric Salvary of GetFit RadioTv.

Boom didn’t just stop there! Homeboy also worked out with Neville and his friend and college teammate from Marshall, Arnold Blackmon.
