Caitlin Clark would not score ONE point in Ice Cube’s Big 3 league, says Kenyon Martin reacting to $5 million offer

Ice Cube and Caitlin Clark

Without question, Caitlin Clark is a once-in-a-generation player, and her recent success has led to a very generous offer. An offer of $5 million is on the table for the star player of the Iowa Hawkeyes to join the BIG3 3-on-3 basketball competition. Legendary hip-hop artist Ice Cube started the Big3 league. The offer elicited a lot of responses, and Kenyon Martin was unable to hold back his reactions when sharing this information.

Caitlin Clark will be the first female player to take part in the game, which is why the news is making waves. However, Kenyon Martin holds a different perspective. During his appearance on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast “Gil’s Arena,” Martin expressed his opinion that she is still far from being able to compete in a men’s league.

It's a step under prison ball. Could you imagine her getting stuck down under Reggie Evans? She gonna take ball out? As soon as she tries to cross that line, boom! Yo little a**.

Although there has never been a female player in Big3’s league, Ice Cube recently stated that he believes American women competing in the league will help them succeed greatly. Will Clark, nevertheless, take the offer? She hasn’t responded as of yet, and since she will be attending the WNBA draft the following month, she may reject the offer.

Could Caitlin Clark’s Big3 League deal stand in the way of her WNBA career?

Any athlete would be lucky to receive Ice Cube’s generous offer to Caitlin Clark. It will be crucial for her to decide whether to sign the deal with Big3 because she will go for the WNBA draft next month. When compared to other players, her net worth could soar thanks to the $5 million offer. She was offered eight regular season games and two playoff games, should her team qualify, according to the terms of the deal.

The main question, though, is what modifications she would have to make if her WNBA draft is approved if she takes the offer. The circumstances make sense because, if she plays overseas, her WNBA compensation goes from $25,0000 to $1 million per season, and accepting her Big3 League offer might increase her earnings above what she could make in her ten years with the league.

This enormous pay gap highlights the two leagues’ financial differences and sheds doubt on the WNBA’s capacity to draw and keep elite players. Given that Clark is most likely to be selected first in the 2024 WNBA draft, the league may need to reconsider how it pays its players to stay competitive in the rapidly changing women’s basketball market.
