Lance Stephenson just started throwing punches at everybody and the refs had to call the game before this Michael Beasley and Dwight Howard got ejected. All of this is on the first day of The Big 3 season
They did something similar last year to open the season as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was planned to make it go viral and get views/engagement to let people know the season just started
The way dude charged in hot then crumbled when Lance Stephenson faced him looked just like WWF lol
Yeah retired NBA players shouldn’t be this angry
Maybe someone blew in his ear.
You think someone Lance Stephensoned Lance Stephenson
Didn’t lance stephenson choke out his own coach?
that was Sprewell and Marv Albert
You mean Sprewell and Carlisimo. Marv Albert was a commentator.
Marv bit off more than he could choke
While wearing ladies underwear
YES!
In fairness, Sprewell was hungry. His family hadn’t ate.
It wasn’t Marv’s coach
🤣🤣
I honestly don’t think Cube wants this shit. Some of the antics and physical play yeah, but not fights and forfeits. They already ejected Beasley and Dwight which isn’t what you do if you want people to watch and when it looked like Lance wasn’t going to be able to continue, Cube said it would be a forfeit instead of letting the ejected players come back in. If he actually wanted a circus like this then he could have just let them play.
It’s to cater to the old heads because the people watching this want basketball to be amateur mma.
No blood no foul
But it’s not old heads NBA basketball though. It’s straight up street ball.
Well it worked, I had no idea it started until this post
Bingo.
Big 3 is still around?
Viral marketing I’m sure, no one watches this shit they are trying to garner interest. Might as well make it the XBA and just allow them to get a Lil nasty
WNBA has taken their market share
W is really popping now, especially with the expansion teams and the young talent. Olivia Miles is awesome. Paige is sick. It’s only going up.
fuckin love olivia miles & the lynx in general. i got to go to their opening night game vs. dallas last year while i was in minny for a conference, place was packed & people were super into the game. plus paige played really well from what i remember
Naw
Seems like haters gonna hate! Sad!!
It’s Kawhi_laugh69…
The amount of purple Valkyrie merch I see on my commute is pretty significant. My friend said the tickets are cheaper and the games are pretty fun.
They’re trying to IPO too lol
I got about 10 cents
This is how I’m learning about that too lol
Not only are they still around, They trying to go IPO
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49040407/big3-league-go-public-290-million-valuation
Haha my first thought as well
Haven’t heard about it since year 1. Seems like wnba kinda faded after that one Caitlin Clark year too at least for mainstream people not enthusiasts
[deleted]
I remember when big 3 was brand new, haven’t seen it since
No
Nah this is 3 years old
No this happened today
WHOOSH
Whoa, great joke, dude!
That maybe so but I just double checked on Google and it does indeed seem to still be around
This happened today
Feels like this might be some fixed kalshi shit, maybe I’m too jaded, I dunno
Basically 100% of this sub wouldn’t know the season started without this post. Gotta grab peoples attention somehow.
100% I agree, sports betting has ruined everything
Could just be scripted marketing at this point. I don’t think their league is going mainstream quick enough when it’s just marketed by washed players.
Looking at the full clip, Ebanks clearly shuffles his feet and travels. I think Lance is in the right.
edit: Jesus Christ, the statement is so insane that the sarcasm should be obvious. Cmon guys.
The hell you mean Lance is in the right lol, IDC how bad you travel that’s still an unnecessary hard foul.
Pretty sure he was just mad at what happened at 13:20
“In the right” In what world does that justify what Lance did lmfao
Lance is in the right because as we all know, the punishment for traveling in basketball is having the shit beat out of you
Almost 60% of my peers chose “sports’ betting” as their argumentative essay and it was kind of funny how all of their presentations just overlapped and the prof was just like: *sigh*
wait what do you mean? can you elaborate?
College
Will I tune into Big 3 for the basketball? No. Will I tune into Big 3 for the fights? Still no.
I’ll watch it if it’s on and I see it
It’s kinda fun to see elite older basketball players playing elite basketball and fun to see old names who retired 5-10 years ago haha
I see the draw there but I mainly just don’t find 3-on-3 basketball fun to watch
I don’t even know what channel or service it plays on. The fact that the guy is recording it off his TV says a lot. This probably plays on some unknown Chinese app in some Motel 8.
I hope people and especially younger people don’t see stuff like this and think it’s cool or he’s a ‘baaaad man’. People his age doing stuff like this is sad and pathetic, probably points to some serious mental hurdles he hasn’t been able to overcome as well
Ain’t no younger people watching this. This shit for the uncs.
Clips like this on this reddit for example, younger people are definitely seeing these clips
No one is taking lessons from big 3 shenanigans lol
I mean it just comes across as a clown show here I don’t think kids think this is cool like, at all. It’s for old heads.
Do you know who clowns are for ?
Lance “Wemby” Stevenson
The first half of the play is 100% a draymond-esque play… but then Lance immediately wants to fight everyone after that too
No young kids think the draymond-like dirty play at the beginning was cool.. they will however see Lance with his hands up like the fighting Irish logo and think that’s cool…
It’s not cool to be a shit head on the basketball court (or in general)
I liked Lance for the dance, not the fists
Knowing how Ice Cube works this shit was staged to get views. Like how he pretends to be this scary tough man.
Ice Cube pretends to be a scary tough man? Since when?
6 in red with the clutch last second bail
Still cant believe they broke up

This is probably apart of the plan. I haven’t heard much about the league in a little bit. So all publicity is good publicity
What’s the incentive for a ref to do anything for a entertainment league situation?
Wtf he started swinging Hella quick like he was looking for a fight. Feels prmediated
It’s all for promotion. They’re hoping for a better TV deal.
Clown. Exactly why his dumbass is 35 and been out the league for 4 years already.
WWNBA
What a way to start the season!
As a viral stunt no one will care about? If I wanted to watch beyond washed guys fight I’d pay attention to whoever Jake Paul fights next
What is a “bad elp”?
apple
But women are too emotional to lead
He’s 35 by the way. Some of these dudes just don’t grow up.
Big 3 is washed..
Who the fuck is watching this nonsense..
They should just add fighting like hockey
This used to be a thing. Kermit Washington helped put an end to it.
The fuck is a “Big 3 season”?
I’m assuming the season that LeBron went to Miami, so 2010-11 i think
Big 3 is a basketball league, featuring 3v3 play. This was the first game of their season.
Lance is not like that
Who’s that, j cole
Probably pre determined for publicity, but if its not kick his ass out of the league
Doug kick him off the tour
I forgot all about this guy 💀 the NBA has so many trolls
The Draymond of big3
Him and Beas are just clip farmers now, it’s a shame they did that to Ice Cube after he got a CBS deal. You’d think the professionals would be more professional
Big 3 needs to drop them.
Won a fight in MMA against Beasley and thinks he’s heavyweight champ now
Gotta turn it into WWE to get ratings up
This is why Lou Williams never played in it lol
This is some psycho behavior. Suspend him for like 10 games or a whole season
Good ole way to get in their head. Started with ear blowing, escalates to headlocks
Rumble
I always had a soft spot for make ‘em dance Lance ngl
You must work for the BIG3 with this post headline.
By throwing punches at everyone you mean he threw 1 punch at 1 person? There were a bunch of people around him that he didn’t throw any punches at.
Bronny Trae young and bum Simmons should go there together to form a big 3 team of buns
Even after the title Trae is living rent free.
Wtf kind of bs league is this
Didn’t he self impose his own suspension from basketball?
Lance is ass but Dwight was the biggest bitch on the floor. That arm/elbow to the face while the ref is saying stop it right to his face and then that ankle stomp was just disgraceful
Looks like shit tv
From a person that can really fight Lance is asking for a TKO with that weird stance
At everybody?
The LA Riot name is pretty spot on
This sh#t does not help IPO aspirations
Trash be trash
I have a high end signed rookie card of his. Glad he’s making the news!
I forgot how much I disliked Stephenson
He got CTE?
I have no idea what these guys are fighting over for in Big 3. I remember seeing some clips on youtube and it felt like some of them were taking things too seriously. Chill out bro. You are retired.
Basketbrawl
fake as fuck
Not at the unction 😭
i forgot this was a thing lmaooo
Lance just needs to pretend that the other dude is high pregnant girlfriend and the basketball court a staircase and he would’ve won that 💯
I hate to ask but what is the big 3?
Big3 would be smart to change the rules Dagestani basketball
Big 3 is always good start to the summer
Is this a bot comment? Same type of bots commenting about WNBA getting them through the offseason. If you watch the special olympics instead at least you may see something entertsining
No bots exist on Reddit. Sorry for ypur displeasure on my comment. Knicks suck. They did not play OKC.
He learning from Wemby lmaoo. So funny just took a pic with Lance last sunday, super chill guy 🤣🤣
