    Anyone watching?

    Three player teams, half court, no clock, looks like first to 50 wins, one shot for 2 points on the foul line, ex-NBA and international players, Clyde Drexler is the Comish.

    I had never heard of it until I read your post. I found some highlight videos on the youtubes. I like it

    We’ve watched since it began- even did a Big 3 fantasy draft one season!

    They seem to have a real PR problem though as most folks have never heard of the league - heard that a financial boost from Colin Kaepernick is all that’s keeping the league solvent - shame , cuz it’s pretty entertaining.

    James White is one of the longest tenured guys in the league ( I think minimum age is 27) , and there’s lots of former pros.

    There’s a marketing problem for sure. Strange I had never heard of the league. My boy is into basketball and he hadn’t heard of it either.
    I skimmed the rosters this afternoon out of curiosity. Cory Brewer plays on one of the teams. That’s good enough for me. Some interesting coaches as well… Gary Payton, DR J and others

    Yet to see a 4-point shot, but I did see a coach pitch a fit and get into a player's face from the other team after losing a game.

    Just turned it on. Barbosa is playing. Seems like he's playing every time I catch some of it (over the last few years).

    Fun to watch if nothing else is going on.
