Ice Cube is a big fan of Caitlin Clark — so much so that the entrepreneur and rapper’s Big3 League offered the 22-year-old college basketball star a deal worth $5 million. But Cube told The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday (March 27) that they haven’t heard back from Clark’s team just yet.
Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz’s Big3 League was founded in 2017 and features 12 teams who play in a three-on-three format. Clark was offered a contract for eight regular season games and potentially two playoff games if her team qualifies.
While the Big3 says the offer wouldn’t interfere with Clark’s position in the WNBA draft, Cube noted that Clark’s team hasn’t responded yet. “They have it and if they wanna sign it, we’ll be happy to have her play in the Big3,” Cube noted during The Pat McAfee Show
“This is a special situation, a special player that’s moving the needle in a lot of different areas, you know, ratings, attendance, ticket sales,” Cube added. “Of course, our sponsors are very interested in a player like this. This is our first look at planning to go after this aggressively because we know it would move the needle in the league and that’s where we wanna be.”
