The BIG3, a professional 3-on-3 basketball league for old timers, knows how to market itself. For its Sunday visit to Los Angeles — which will be broadcast on delay Monday on FS1 — the BIG3 invited notorious misogynist and loud sports dad LaVar Ball to challenge league commissioner, legendary rapper turned family-friendly movie star Ice Cube, in a shootout. Specifically, the shootout would occur from the BIG3’s innovative four-point circle.

Friends, this was a bad shootout.
Ball, who averaged 2.2 points per game in his only NCAA Division-I season at Washington State back when Ice Cube was writing much of the seminal Straight Outta Compton, shot 1 for 14 to lose to the rapper and actor, who hit two four-pointers. See for yourself, if you must.
Has anyone put a trademark claim in on Big Airballer Brand yet?
Now that Ball has lost a shooting contest to a 5’8 thespian and bard, perhaps his boasts about his superior athleticism will cease. HA HA HA just kidding they will not. But at least we can add another athletic anti-achievement to his growing list of welps.
