  • BIG3’s 2025 City-Based Revolution: Teams, Coaches, and Expansion Plans

    The BIG3, the professional 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz in 2017, is undergoing a seismic shift for its eighth season in 2025. Transitioning from a touring model to a city-based franchise structure, the league is planting flags in eight major basketball markets to deepen fan connections and elevate competition. Kicking off on June 14, 2025, at Allstate Arena in Chicago, the season promises electrifying action, with games broadcast on CBS and Vice TV. This article dives into the new teams, their high-profile coaches, initial rosters, and the league’s bold expansion plans for 2026. The Eight New City-Based Teams For the first time, the BIG3’s teams are tied to specific cities, replacing the previous 12-team touring model. The 2025 lineup includes: Boston Ball Hogs : Representing a city with a storied basketball tradition. Chicago Triplets : Anchoring the Midwest’s basketball hub. Dallas Power : Bringing Texas-sized energy to the court. Detroit Amplifiers : Tapping into Motor City’s gritty hoops culture. DMV Trilogy : Representing the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia metropolitan area. Houston Rig Hands : Channeling the energy of a basketball-hungry city. Los Angeles Riot : Carrying the torch for L.A.’s vibrant sports scene. Miami 305 : Capturing the Magic City’s flair and diversity. Each team will play a home game, fostering local pride and rivalries. The full schedule, set to be released in late March 2025, will outline the 10-week season culminating in a championship. Star-Studded Coaching Lineup The BIG3 has assembled a coaching roster featuring NBA legends and former players, blending Hall of Fame pedigree with local ties. The 2025 coaches are: Gary Payton (Boston Ball Hogs) : The Glove, a Hall of Famer, brings defensive intensity. Nancy Lieberman (Dallas Power) : A trailblazing Hall of Famer known for strategic brilliance. George Gervin (Detroit Amplifiers) : The Iceman, another Hall of Famer, adds scoring flair. Stephen Jackson (DMV Trilogy) : A former NBA champion with BIG3 experience. Calvin Murphy (Houston Rig Hands) : A Hall of Fame point guard with deep Houston roots. Nick Young (Los Angeles Riot) : Swaggy P, a former NBA sharpshooter, energizes L.A. Michael Cooper (Miami 305) : A Lakers legend and Hall of Famer with defensive prowess. Chicago Triplets : Coach yet to be announced, with rumors of an NBA Hall of Famer in talks. These coaches, many with ties to their cities, will guide new rosters, enhancing the league’s competitive edge and community engagement. Initial Rosters and Notable Players The BIG3 unveiled initial rosters on April 16, 2025, with the draft set for May 15 in Las Vegas. Notable players include: Boston Ball Hogs : Kevin Murphy, Deshawn Stephens, Scotty Hopson. Chicago Triplets : Montrezl Harrell, Jason Richardson, Chris Allen. DMV Trilogy : Earl Clark, Isaiah Briscoe, Kenneth Faried. Dallas Power : Greg Monroe, Glen Rice Jr., TJ Cline. Detroit Amplifiers : Jeremy Pargo, Darnell Jackson, Joe Johnson. Miami 305 : Michael Beasley, Mario Chalmers, Reggie Evans. Los Angeles Riot : Dwight Howard (2025 Hall of Fame inductee), Elijah Stewart, Jordan Crawford. Houston Rig Hands : Gerald Green, Garlon Green, Corey Brewer. These rosters, blending veterans and former NBA stars, will evolve through the draft, promising fresh matchups and rivalries. Expansion Plans for 2026 The BIG3 isn’t stopping at eight teams. Ice Cube and Kwatinetz plan to add four more franchises in 2026, potentially reviving beloved team names like Bivouac, Enemies, or 3’s Company. Cities like Toronto and London are under consideration for international expansion, signaling the league’s global ambitions. The sale of three teams (Los Angeles, Miami, Houston) for $10 million each in 2024 shows strong investor confidence, with owners chosen for sports and business expertise. This expansion aims to replicate the success of the 2025 model, where city-based teams deepen fan loyalty and community ties. Impact on Fans and Communities The shift to a city-based model addresses a key challenge: building team-specific fanbases. Previously, the touring model struggled to create localized loyalty. Now, cities like Miami and Detroit will rally behind their teams, with home games at venues like Kaseya Center (Miami 305, June 29, 2025) amplifying the atmosphere. The BIG3’s commitment to diversity—evidenced by female coaches like Lieberman, a mental health policy, and Clyde Drexler as the first Black commissioner—resonates with communities. Fans can expect vibrant game days, with players like Dwight Howard and coaches like Payton fostering deeper connections through local engagement. Why 2025 Matters for the BIG3 The city-based model marks a pivotal moment for the BIG3, aligning it with traditional sports leagues while preserving its unique 3-on-3 identity. With a broadcast deal on CBS and Vice TV, plus streaming on X to reach younger audiences, the league is poised for growth. The addition of international markets and a larger talent pool in 2026 could position the BIG3 as a global force, rivaling even the NBA in niche appeal, as Kwatinetz boldly predicted. For now, the focus is on June 14, 2025, when the eight new teams tip off a new era of high-octane basketball.

The league emphasizes physical play, entertainment, and accessibility, with games broadcast on platforms like CBS and Vice TV.

Unique features include four-point shots from 30 feet, hand-checking, and a one-on-one foul challenge system. These rules encourage aggressive, fan-friendly play distinct from traditional 5-on-5 basketball. History of the BIG3 The BIG3 began with eight teams in 2017, expanding to 12 by 2019.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown made headlines by competing in the All-Star game. 2024 Season Bivouac captured their first title. The league made waves by offering WNBA star Caitlin Clark a $5 million deal to play, though she declined. 2025 Season The BIG3 transitioned to city-based teams, including Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and Detroit, starting June 14. Vice TV became the primary broadcaster. Plans for international expansion, starting with Australia, were announced. BIG3 Teams The original eight teams were 3’s Company, 3 Headed Monsters, Ball Hogs, Ghost Ballers, Killer 3’s, Power, Trilogy, and Tri-State. Four teams—Bivouac, Enemies, Aliens, and Triplets—joined in 2019. In 2025, the league shifted to market-based ownership, aligning teams with major cities to strengthen local fanbases. Recent Developments The BIG3 introduced Fireball3, a variant with modified rules, to attract younger players. In 2024, the league sold its first team, signaling financial growth. Controversy arose in 2025 when a reporter was fired over social media posts about Caitlin Clark. The league continues to innovate, with plans for global tournaments and increased media partnerships.

  • Top 10 Greatest Los Angeles Lakers Players of All Time | Lakers Legends

    By Ryan Vickery  — NBA analyst and writer covering the players, moments, and milestones that define the game. The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most iconic and successful franchises in NBA history. With a championship tradition, legendary rivalries, and a star-studded roster across decades, the Lakers have become synonymous with greatness. From pioneers of the game to modern superstars, the franchise has produced some of the greatest basketball players to ever step on the court. This article highlights the top Los Angeles Lakers players of all time and the lasting impact they made on the game of basketball. Greatest Lakers Guards Magic Johnson (Earvin Johnson Jr.) Often regarded as the greatest point guard in NBA history, Magic Johnson transformed the game with his unmatched passing vision and showtime style. A five-time NBA champion, three-time MVP, and 12-time All-Star, Johnson’s leadership defined the Lakers’ dominant era of the 1980s. His name remains inseparable from the Lakers brand. Kobe Bryant Known worldwide as the “Black Mamba,” Kobe Bryant dedicated his entire 20-year NBA career to the Lakers. With five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and two Olympic gold medals, Bryant embodied work ethic, competitiveness, and excellence. His scoring ability and relentless drive made him one of the most beloved Lakers legends. Jerry West Nicknamed “Mr. Clutch,” Jerry West was the heart and soul of the Lakers during the 1960s and early 1970s. Known for his consistency, scoring ability, and competitive spirit, West became the symbol of the NBA itself—the league logo silhouette is modeled after him. Dominant Lakers Big Men Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lew Alcindor)As the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar brought consistency, dominance, and his unstoppable skyhook to Los Angeles. A six-time MVP and winner of five titles with the Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar’s influence was pivotal to the franchise’s dynasty years. Shaquille O’Neal A larger-than-life presence, Shaquille O’Neal dominated the paint like few in history. Teaming up with Kobe Bryant, Shaq led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. His rare mix of power, agility, and charisma helped define a new era of Lakers basketball. Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain brought his legendary scoring and rebounding dominance to the Lakers late in his career. Though his time with the team was shorter, he was instrumental in helping Los Angeles capture the 1972 NBA Championship, cementing his role in Lakers history. George Mikan George Mikan is often called the NBA’s first true superstar. Leading the Minneapolis Lakers to multiple championships in the league’s early years, Mikan’s dominance laid the foundation for what would eventually become the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty. Pau Gasol Arriving in 2008, Pau Gasol quickly became the perfect partner for Kobe Bryant. His skillful post play, passing, and unselfishness helped the Lakers capture back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010. Gasol’s intelligence and versatility made him one of the most respected Lakers of his generation. Versatile Lakers Forwards Elgin Baylor One of the NBA’s first true superstars, Elgin Baylor revolutionized forward play with his scoring, athleticism, and creativity. Though he never won a championship, Baylor was an 11-time All-Star and remains one of the greatest Lakers to ever wear the purple and gold. James Worthy Known as “Big Game James,” James Worthy thrived in the spotlight of the Showtime Lakers era. His clutch performances in the playoffs, including being named NBA Finals MVP in 1988, solidified his reputation as one of the franchise’s most reliable stars. Conclusion The Los Angeles Lakers’ legacy is defined by the greatness of its players. From Magic Johnson’s Showtime brilliance to Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality, from Kareem’s skyhook to Shaq’s dominance, each era of Lakers basketball has been marked by unforgettable legends. Together, these players shaped not only the identity of the franchise but also the history of the NBA itself. As the Lakers continue to chase championships, the echoes of their storied past will always resonate through the purple and gold.

  • Terence Stamp (1938-2025)

    Terence Stamp | July 22, 1938 – August 17, 2025 (Age 87 Years) Terence Henry Stamp , the strikingly handsome British actor, cultural icon of the Swinging Sixties, and versatile character actor, passed away on August 17, 2025, at the age of 87 in London, England, surrounded by loved ones. He died peacefully, though the cause was not specified. Renowned for his piercing blue eyes, magnetic screen presence, and roles ranging from the angelic Billy Budd to the tyrannical General Zod, Stamp left an indelible mark on cinema through a career that spanned over six decades. Early Life and Career Born Terence Henry Stamp on July 22, 1938, in Stepney, London, Stamp grew up in a working-class family during the Blitz of World War II. The eldest of five children, he found solace in films, idolizing Gary Cooper and James Dean. Keeping his acting ambitions secret to avoid ridicule, he worked in advertising before winning a scholarship to the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. His debut came in 1962 with Billy Budd , earning him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer at age 24. His performance as the angelic sailor, with “heartbreak blue eyes,” launched him into stardom. Personal Life and Legacy Stamp’s career blended mainstream hits like Far from the Madding Crowd  (1967) and Superman  (1978) with arthouse gems such as The Collector  (1965), for which he won Best Actor at Cannes, and Teorema  (1968). A cultural figure of the Swinging Sixties, he was romantically linked to Julie Christie and Jean Shrimpton, and shared a flat with Michael Caine. After a career lull in the 1970s, he retreated to an Indian ashram, studying meditation and spirituality. His comeback as General Zod in Superman  (1978) and Superman II  (1980), with the iconic line “Kneel before Zod,” redefined him as a character actor. Later roles, like the transgender Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert  (1994), earned BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, cementing his versatility. Married to Elizabeth O’Rourke (2002–2008), Stamp faced personal challenges, including heartbreak and career setbacks, but remained devoted to his craft and spiritual growth. Iconic Quotes “I’ve done crap because sometimes I didn’t have the rent, but when I’ve got the rent, I want to do the best I can.” “I believed in myself. Originally, when I didn’t get cast, I told myself there was a lack of discernment in them.” Tributes from Family and Friends Edgar Wright: “Terence was kind, funny, and endlessly fascinating. A true movie star: the camera loved him, and he loved it right back.” Bill Duke: “He brought a rare intensity to the screen but carried himself with warmth, grace, and generosity.” Stephan Elliott: “Terence’s greatest beauties were his eyes… he could hold a room.” Cultural Impact Stamp’s legacy extends beyond acting through his fearless role choices and contributions to cinema’s cultural fabric. His work with directors like Federico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Ken Loach defined the 1960s, while his later roles in The Limey  (1999) and Last Night in Soho  (2021) showcased his enduring relevance. His portrayal of General Zod became a pop-culture touchstone, influencing comic book adaptations, and his performance in Priscilla  remains an LGBTQ+ classic. A prolific writer, Stamp authored five memoirs, reflecting on his life and craft. His spiritual journey, embracing yoga and meditation, inspired peers and fans alike. From Billy Budd  to his final role in the upcoming Priscilla, Queen of the Desert 2 , Stamp bridged mainstream and indie cinema, earning a place among the 100 Sexiest Film Stars in 1995. Final Days and Legacy In his later years, Stamp focused on selective roles and writing, maintaining his discerning approach: “If something pressed his buttons and piqued his interest, he’d consider it.” Despite an injury during Bitter Harvest  (2017), he continued acting, with his final appearance in Last Night in Soho  (2021). He spent his final days in London, reflecting a life of resilience, artistry, and reinvention. Stamp leaves a legacy as a cinematic icon whose contributions to film, from the Swinging Sixties to modern classics, continue to inspire. Terence Stamp is survived by his siblings and extended family. No memorial or funeral details are available at this time.

  • History of the Hollywood Walk of Fame: Famous Stars and Cultural Legacy

    The Hollywood Walk of Fame stands as one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, drawing millions of visitors each year to Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles. With its iconic pink terrazzo and brass stars embedded in the sidewalks, the Walk of Fame celebrates the contributions of actors, musicians, directors, producers, and other influential figures who have shaped the entertainment industry. Origins and Early History The idea for the Walk of Fame was first proposed in 1953 by E. M. Stuart, then-president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Stuart envisioned a tribute that would maintain the glamour of Hollywood and honor the stars who brought fame and recognition to the entertainment capital of the world. The project was officially approved in 1958, with construction beginning in 1960. The first eight stars were installed as a demonstration in 1958, featuring names like Burt Lancaster, Joanne Woodward, and Olive Borden. On February 9, 1960, the official groundbreaking took place, and the Walk began to take shape. Expansion and Growth Originally, the Walk of Fame included about 2,500 blank stars, with the intention of filling them over the years as honorees were selected. The categories at the time included Motion Pictures, Television, Recording, Radio, and later, Live Theatre/Performance. As Hollywood grew, so did the Walk. Over the decades, the Walk expanded both in size and recognition, becoming not just a Los Angeles attraction but also a symbol of global entertainment culture. Selection Process The process of receiving a star is both selective and ceremonial. Each year, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce receives hundreds of nominations, but only a limited number are chosen. A committee reviews the candidates, considering their contributions to the entertainment industry, their professional achievements, and their philanthropic efforts. Once selected, honorees must agree to attend the unveiling ceremony, which has become a major media event. They are also required to pay a sponsorship fee, which helps cover the cost of installation and maintenance. Cultural Significance The Walk of Fame is more than just a tourist destination. It serves as a timeline of entertainment history, showcasing the evolution of film, television, music, and live performance. Fans from around the world visit the Walk to find the names of their favorite stars, creating a personal connection to the legacy of Hollywood. The Walk has also become an iconic filming location, appearing in countless movies, television shows, and music videos. It remains a place where the glamour of Hollywood meets the everyday lives of its fans. Preservation and Maintenance Over the years, the Hollywood Walk of Fame has faced challenges, including wear and tear from millions of visitors, vandalism, and the need for upkeep in a bustling urban environment. The Hollywood Historic Trust, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, works to preserve and maintain the landmark, ensuring it remains a lasting tribute to the entertainment industry. Conclusion The Hollywood Walk of Fame remains one of the most iconic cultural landmarks in the world, blending the legacy of entertainment’s past with the excitement of its future. It not only celebrates the stars who have shaped music, film, television, radio, and theater, but also serves as a reminder of Hollywood’s role as the entertainment capital of the world. Future Outlook As the entertainment industry evolves with streaming platforms, digital media, and new global influences, the Walk of Fame is expected to expand to honor a more diverse range of talent. With younger generations of artists and creators making their mark, the tradition will continue to grow as a living timeline of cultural achievement. The Walk will remain a destination where fans from around the globe gather to celebrate the magic of entertainment history. About the Author Sharon Cooper is Editor in Chief for Massive Action Media.
