Ice Cube sells off two teams in his Big3 basketball league for $10M each after failed Caitlin Clark pursuit

Ice Cube's rising Big3 league is planting seeds with teams in Houston and Miami. Ice Cube has sold two teams in his Big3 league as they move towards a city-based format The purchases come after the rapper offered Caitlin Clark $15million to play in the league Former Goldman Sachs executive Eric Mullins - who now leads equity firm Lime Rock Resources - is investing in the Houston team with Milton Carroll, the minority owner of the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball. The tour-based 3-on-3 league was founded in 2017 and gained much popularity since Big3 has sold three of their 12 teams to be based in Los Angeles, Miami, and Houston The monumental sales of these teams come shortly after Ice Cube called for WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark to join Big3 upon finding out about her $76k annual salary in the league. Clark's arrival has caused a massive spike in the WNBA's attendance and viewership numbers Clark's third game against Angel Reese became ESPN's most-watched WNBA game The second game between the Fever and Aces broke a 25-year-old WNBA attendance record Big3 has ambitious considerations of upscaling to 16 teams and spreading them as far as London and Toronto.
