0Ice Cube makes compelling case for Caitlin Clark to join the BIG3
While the league is comprised of male players, it has shown in the past that it is open to breaking boundaries. In 2018, Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lierberman became the head coach of the team Power, becoming the first woman to ever coach a men's professional basketball team in the country.
She led her team to the championship in her first season.
A year later, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie joined on as a head coach for the team Triplets and led her team to a championship during that season
Caitlin Clark is in the middle of her final run in the NCAA Women's March Madness Tournament, which also means she's weeks away from turning professional.
The NCAA's all-time leading scorer is widely expected to go No. 1 in the WNBA Draft on April 15, but she isn't limited to just the WNBA when it comes to playing professionally.
She now has another option — and that's to be the first woman to ever play in the BIG3, according to a report by TMZ. The BIG3 is three-on-three professional basketball league founded by rapper Ice Cube which has featured a ton of former NBA All-Stars like Joe Johnson and Rashard Lewis.
The report said that Ice Cube and the BIG3 are offering Clark a $5 million deal to play up to 10 games in the BIG3, a deal that would trump the estimated $76,000 that Clark will make in her first year as the first pick of the WNBA Draft. Clark would still be allowed to play in the WNBA if she accepts this deal with the BIG3 and be able to be compensated even more from merchandise sales, according to the report.
