Ice Cube reveals ULTIMATE Big 3 team snubbing LeBron James for Laker legends

The Big 3 of all time is a debate with numerous combinations differing from perspective to perspective of an individual. Having said that it is also crucial not to undermine any NBA legend called to for the Big 3 of all time. Each legend had its own primes and set of records that they broke.

Recently in a podcast Ice Cube revealed his ultimate big 3 when he was asked to pick. Ice Cube is running a league named the BIG3 and has created a buzz around the NBA community. He has appeared in various podcasts and discussions and called out NBA veterans to be a part of that league.

I think I'll go with Michael Jordan, it's hard not to go with Shaq, and Kobe Bryant of course.
Ice Cube said in an interview with Clutchpoints

While it is tough to pick the Big 3 of all time, this pick is one of the most lethal picks of all time. It is quite a tough team to beat with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal on the line. But Ice Cube snubbed LeBron James out of his Ultimate Big 3. James having won a title in every franchise he has been to is one of the biggest players of all time.

Leaving out James is a personal choice but his achievements cannot be undermined. While the pick is nothing less than great, having James on your side is always a confirmed win. Although these picks are just individual perspectives of who is the greater athlete, the team Ice Cube picked cannot be debated.

Ice Cube made Shaquille O’Neal almost play in the BIG3 League

Ice Cube has approached many NBA legends and veterans to be a part of this league to help it grow. One of these was the Lakers legend, Shaquille O’Neal.

O’Neal was approached by Cube in a podcast and was asked to be a part of the league. He also made promises of signing a deal for the same. But O’Neal in another encounter deliberately denied Cube from joining the league at this age.

I tried hitting the gym and playing in LA Fitness. But I looked like the dumbest big man ever. I ain't got it in me. Hence I don't want to embarrass the league or myself.
Shaquille O’Neal said via The Big Podcast with Shaq

The BIG3 league was in buzz from being busted by the NBA after its launch. Stars like Caitlin Clark were also confronted for signing a deal with the league to play in their offseason. Nevertheless, Ice Cube’s league shelters some of the best talents of the USA for a shifty 3v3 format game.
