The first celebrity game was played in Big3 history

There was one event right before the beginning of the final game of the fifth season. For the first time in Fireball history, celebrities from show business gathered and played the game. It was a spectacular night in every aspect and spectators in the stands got a great amount of fun.

The clash was between team Webull and team Price.

The coach of the Webull team was Ice Cube, creator of Big3. The captain of their team was Rob Gronkowski who was Super Bowl Champion four times. Wallo, Gillie Da Kid, Ozuna, Crissa Jackson, and Chris Haynes were included in the rest of the team.

Commissioner of the league Clyde Drexler was coaching the Price team. This team was led by Nelly, a famous recording hip-hop artist. Vernon Davis, NFL Choppa, Miky Woodz,  Matt James and Miro were members of their roster.

The rules for this game were different than for the classic 3×3 Fireball fixtures. In a regular Big3 game, the clash is ended when one team scores 50 points. This celebrity game was finished when 50 minutes on the clock expired. There was no shot clock violation in this event so players experienced less amount of pressure in that segment.

The early beginning of the match was marked by constant long-range attempts. Those attempts were mostly missed and it was a nervous start to the game. As time went on, players started feeling pleasant on the court and we saw beautiful shots from half-distance. A decisive moment happened when Gillie Da Kid, We bull made a lay-up for the final result – 45-44.

Here is a full game:

Gillie was some kind of hero in this game because of his performance in the dying moments of the celebrity game. The culmination of the game was the thrilling and justified expectations of the Big3 audience completely. For sure, we can expect more innovations from Ice Cube for the next season in this area of Fireball.
