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:

  • Needless trash talk? (“FIREBALL3 is not that BORING ASS 3-on-3 FIBA style that they about to play in the Olympics!”) LOL!

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

Luck was on record as saying that the minimum expectation for each market was to average at least 20K in attendance. And given that the original XFL averaged just over 23K in attendance, it was an entirely rea...
