BIG3 Street has partnered with Monster Energy to infuse unparalleled energy into the festivities

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — BIG3 Basketball, the trailblazing 3-on-3 professional basketball league founded by entertainment moguls Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, is proud to announce the debut of the BIG3 Street Tour, galvanizing urban basketball culture. The tour kicks off on December 19th at the iconic SRGN Studios in Los Angeles, marking the beginning of an exciting journey that will redefine the intersection of sports, fashion, and entertainment.

Los Angeles is not only the birthplace of BIG3 Basketball but also a hub of emerging creativity and talent. To kick off the BIG3 Street Tour experience, BIG3 chose some of the best young entrepreneurs the city has to offer; fashion ‘it kid’ Doni Nahmias, sneaker aficionado the ‘Shoe Surgeon’, and entrepreneurs Ron Abaekobe and Dallas Lmbimbo from the emerging basketball league ‘THE LEAGUE’. Following this launch, BIG3 Street will be activating in multiple cities before the 2024 season and will bring out the best athletes each city has to offer. 

Partnering with rising designer Doni Nahmias, BIG3 is set to unveil an exclusive limited merch drop for the launch of the BIG3 Street Tour. Available for purchase only at the event, this unique collection pays tribute to the six seasons of BIG3 Basketball, capturing the essence of the league’s legacy. Comprising two vintage pieces – a collector’s edition t-shirt and a crewneck sweater – the drop is a must-have for basketball enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike, with only 500 t-shirts and 100 sweatshirts available.

“Launching BIG3 Street in Los Angeles, my hometown, is like coming full circle. Tuesday night will be the start of something special” – Ice Cube

“Feels special being able to bring Ice Cube and the BIG3 back to Los Angeles. He’s an OG LA legend. I’ve been watching him since I was young and it’s special to host a basketball event with him along the surgeon studios.” – Doni Nahmias

The excitement doesn’t end on the court – attendees will be treated to an immersive experience with food, drinks, and activations throughout the night. To power up the event, BIG3 Street has partnered with Monster Energy to infuse unparalleled energy into the festivities. Ice Cube, select BIG3 players and coaches and other special guests will be in attendance. 

“BIG3 Basketball, street fashion and sneaker culture are some of Monster’s favorite territories,” said Monster Energy CMO Dan McHugh. “Being a part of this pop-up project is a perfect fit for us, we can’t wait to see it come together.”

Teaming up with basketball league ‘THE LEAGUE’, BIG3 Street Los Angeles will feature a street BIG3 tournament, showcasing the talents of six teams playing under the BIG3 rules. Teams consist of players from THE LEAGUE, complemented by BIG3 stars, ensuring a dynamic and competitive spectacle that embodies the spirit of street 3-on-3 basketball.
