Many were unsure of what to expect from Ice Cube's new three-on-three league for hoopers over 30 years old. If this video is any indication, the BIG3 features drama, intensity, and plenty of swearing.
Ex-NBA player Stephen Jackson was livid after he was pulled from Sunday's game for yapping at a ref over what he believed was a blown call, and let his coach Charles Oakley hear it.
In a profanity-laden tirade from the bench in Dallas, the 2003 NBA champ declared that his Killer 3s weren't going to win without him, and threatened to check himself back into the contest, with Oak firing right back.
It was apparently all just in the heat of the moment, with Cap'n Jack saying postgame he respects Oakley and loves him to death.
Jackson, the league's second-leading scorer, poured in a game-high 23 points in the 50-40 victory over Brian Scalabrine and the Ball Hogs.
