The BIG3 is the XFL's real successor

With XFL 2020 adopting a much more … diplomatic tone than its ancestor, it’s Ice Cube’s BIG3 that most hearkens back to the original XFL’s bombast and theatrics. Check out this hype video for Season 4 of the league playing the sport formerly known as 3-on-3 basketball:

• Off-colored ball? Check!
• Needless trash talk? (“FIREBALL3 is not that BORING ASS 3-on-3 FIBA style that they about to play in the Olympics!”) LOL!
• A new absurd rule? (Players can challenge foul calls by going 1-on-1 with an opponent.) What!?!?!

And even Vince didn’t have the stones to rebrand the sport itself! Bravo, Cube.
