Ice Cube Promotes Big3 On NBC's "Tonight Show"

Jimmy Fallon interviewed Big3 co-Founder Ice Cube on "The Tonight Show," noting the league is in its third season: “When you first came on and you had this idea I was like, ‘Well, who knows, let’s hope it’s good.” Cube: “Nah, you thought it was wack, man. You thought it wasn’t going to work.” Fallon: "No, no, no, I always support everything. I just didn't understand.” Cube said players are “balling out, the season is getting good, we got our last week of the season coming up, then playoffs and then our championship, so it’s pretty exciting.” Cube promoted the Big3 Ballout Basketball Festival in Dallas, noting the league usually has three games on one day, “but this time we’re putting them all in Dallas, so six games for the price of one.” Fallon: “You don’t stop.” Cube: “I can’t stop” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 8/14).
