Ice Cube try to convince Caitlin Clark to play in the BIG3.
The fellow women’s basketball starlet, close to landing in the WNBA, may be making a stop in the BIG3. Ice Cube, in fact, has presented her with a lavish offer to play in its summer 3 vs. 3 league. TMZ spoke about well 5 million of dollars for just one edition of the league, the one scheduled for this summer. 8 regular season games and possibly two playoff games, so potentially more than $500,000 per day. A crazy offer but one that responds to precise commercial logic, given the enormous popularity Clark has gained in the United States in recent months.
As soon as the news came out, Ice Cube himself confirmed that he had made an offer to the Iowa star. After that, he added a couple of sentences against the American sports business mechanism, accused of selling out to the Arabs and not valuing women enough.
I would have liked to keep this private since Caitlin Clark is playing for the NCAA title but I can’t deny that BIG3 presented her with a story offer. Why wouldn’t we have? Caitlin is a generational talent who will be able to achieve great success in our league. American female players should not be forced to spend their off-season in shady posts to round up. In addition, there should be a variety of professional options for them, especially at a time when American sports is undergoing the infiltration of an authoritarian, anti-women’s rights regime like that of Qatar. The frightening offer presented to Caitlin shows that BIG3 wants to give female athletes an alternative choice.
The offer includes a clause that would allow Clark to still play in the WNBA. In short, a package of undoubted interest that, if accepted, would allow Ice Cube to pull off a very important technical and commercial coup for his BIG3.
