Ice Cube’s basketball league The BIG3, just announced the return of its annual Celebrity Game, now in its third year. In a partnership with Monster Energy, the event is set to kick off in Boston on August 18. This star studded event will precede the 2024 All-Star and Championship Games. Knowing the BIG3, it promises to be a day filled with entertainment, culture and of course basketball.
Ice Cube, will once take charge of Team Webull as they face off against Team Green, which will be coached by NBA Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler. Sounds like Cube has his work cut out for him against Hall of Famer, Clyde the glide Drexler.
Hosted at TD Garden, the game will feature a big lineup of celebrities and influential figures from music, sports, television, and film industries, respectfully.
Here’s a taste of who’s who attending: Ty Dolla $ign, Anthony Anderson, Matt James from *The Bachelor*, French Montana, Fabolous, Flau’Jae Johnson, NFL Super Bowl champions Vernon Davis and Ty Law, streetball legend The Professor, comedian Michael Blackson, rapper Skilla Baby, and former Harlem Globetrotter Briana Green.
Get this, just like previous years, the celebrity game isn’t just about basketball; it’s about giving back. Gotta love that part. That’s because Monster Energy has pledged to donate a minimum of $25,000 to the event’s charitable beneficiaries.
Ice Cube stated in a press release, “Over the past three years, the Monster Energy BIG3 Celebrity Game has become an integral part of the BIG3 Championship Weekend. In the BIG3, it doesn’t matter where you come from or what your name is – you have to prove it on the court, and that’s no different whether you are a baller, entertainer, or an NFL Hall of Famer. Gillie and I have two years of winning pedigree; Team Green better look out!”
Steven Ferraro, Event Producer commented on the event’s popularity:
“The Monster Energy BIG3 Celebrity Game has become a staple celebrity competition that features an eclectic mix of talent. Each year is more entertaining than the last, and we look forward to what this year brings.”
Looks like this will be a good time. Let’s see who wins the game. Leaning Cube’s team but that’s just our humble opinion.
