BIG3 founder Ice Cube, along with commissioner Clyde Drexler, claim that both 2K Sports and EA Sports have expressed a level of interest in developing a video-game based on the BIG3 basketball league.
“At first, they said no,” Drexler said, according to Basketball Society Online’s Brandon Robinson. “But now they are saying this has some weight and legs and they want to be a part of it. We would love to have a Big 3 on 2K Sports or EA Sports, it’s our dream because we want to grow the game and make it a global sport.”
“Now, they are interested in talking with us and we plan on discussing details with the companies that we have been approached by and we understand that we are ahead of the curve” Ice Cube said.
“It takes time for people to catch up and we don’t mind it; we will wait for them to catch up.”
BIG3 has made incredible strides over the first 2 years of it’s existence, with a television deal with FOX, and more former NBA players joining the fray.
A video game version of the league would certainly offer a different experience for fans, and provide a creative alternative to mainstays such as NBA2K and NBA Live.
