After a year of not playing because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Big 3 is returning in July with a stacked group of players and coaches.
The Big 3, founded by Ice Cube in 2017, is a 3-on-3 competition where former basketball players compete in a half-court-only game.
The league comprises 12 teams that mostly have five players, each led by a head coach.
To prepare for next season, the league conducted a draft to finalize rosters, which included several players who once played for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Players like Metta World Peace, Jodie Meeks, Nick Young, Earl Clark, Jordan Hill and Shannon Brown are some previous Lakers participating this season.
Michael Cooper, who was a Hall of Fame finalist this year, is also participating as a head coach of team 3’s Company.
Here’s the full roster comprising various coaches, captains, co-captains and draftees, via Big 3:
