You know, we're dedicated to competition, and they're going hard and they're passionate. No participation the mindset that we believe and that's just playing hard, like leaving it out on the floor. You know, we all grew up playing three on three basketball, and so that's what makes this Big Three so special is an opportunity to play a sport that we've all played from childhood, but we've never been able to play a professionally. When you play half for basketball,
you gotta be more creative. It ain't as easy as what people think. In three on three you cannot hide. I know everybody in the combine and we're looking for guys that want to play hard. I guarantee you when the first guy get scored on, it's gonna turn into some outside park basketball. Got the first pick, so hey, I'm excited about that. Sean mcints, how does it feel being the first pick in the Big Three Draft? In the first pig and we had our first combine and draft.
It was everything I dreamed it would be. To be able to play against your former comrades and teammates. It's gonna be probably. You know, everybody's out there. We want to win and it's gonna be competitive. So we're going out to win this thing. There ain't no friendships in this, Okay, there it is, yo. I'm telling you, these guys are gonna ball out. I don't think there's gonna be any participation trophies in a big three. They're all talking a
big game. But like they said, the first time someone gets scored on, I think it's gonna get very real, very quickly. So what we did, um Donnie Burns and your boys feeds the spitting statistician. The interesting thing here, Unlike you know NBA, where you got guards, you got forwards,
and you've got your centers. Here, we only made to kind of position categories, okay, because you're gonna have on a three on three, you're gonna have your bigs down low, and then you're gonna have kind of have like your guards or your wing players. Okay, so we put the guards and wings together. We're gonna vail our top I think it's our top seven that we're gonna unveil today and then tomorrow we're gonna do our our top tier of bigs and kind of rank them as well going
into this. Okay, So for part of this as we have to think about. Listen, this three on three league, the scoring is probably gonna come from these guards. Okay, your guards are probably gonna be the guys you want to invest early round fantasy draft picks on, because I don't think, you know, I don't think these bigs, you know, your guys like Kenyan Martin, your guys like Jerome Williams,
They're not gonna be producing. This bleak is gonna be predicated on you know, ballers and crossovers and four point shots for goodness sake. So I mean, I think your guards are gonna be very heavy. The way we did is and Donnie, maybe what we need to do is also maybe tweet out the rankings when we're done, okay, and put them out there in a spreadsheet or something like that so people can see how we ranked them.
But we put them in tears. Okay. And you know you heard in that little promo cut that Rashad McCanns was the number one overall pick in the Big Three inaugural draft. We have him as the eighth highest rank guard play. Okay, because a lot of these guys that we like, we're co captains and stuff, we're already signed to the teams before the Big Three draft took place.
We do like Rashad McCann's kind of in that second tier. Uh, We like him alongside guys like Larry Hughes on the Killer Threes, Bondsi Wells on Tri State, Ricky Davis on the Golf ghost Ballers. We think that's the kind of middle level, shall we say, of the Big Three. Um So when we're doing to do though, is we're gonna get into the top tier. Here are seven highest rated and highest ranked guards, okay, or wing players. Some of
these are wing players. And the first thing I noticed on is that listen, the Killer Threes have two of our top seven guards. The Three Headed Monsters have two of our top seven guards. And so there's no reason why if we looked at later on in our power rankings, both of those teams are gonna be pretty high up in our you know, power rankings and predictions for this. But starting at number for seven, we have, uh, probably
the lead guard of the ghost Ballers. That's Mike Bibby. So, Donnie, how do you think Mike Bibby's game translates to this kind of three on three format? Now, I usually I would probably pick a player like Mike Bibby. But I've actually, you know, we have Instagram and Twitter and all that now, so we have been able to see some of these players play now. And Mike Baby looks a little bit unathletic, he doesn't look like himself above him look a lot better,
and these social media accounts and whatnot. So that's why we have him so low. Donnie Burns throwing shade at the captain of the ghost Ballers UM Mike Bibby in the number six spot in our rankings, we have Steven Jackson representing the Killer Threes um as a Now, this guy, this guy can shoot it. We know that. Do you think he's gonna be taking advantage of the four point
shot much at all? I think he will be. He will also probably be taking advantage of people down low, because he was, if you remember, a very tough player and throughout his career, I think the average about fifteen points. So he can score. He's not he can't get his shot as easily as he probably wants to nowadays, but I mean he can still score, man. But remember, on this team, he's gonna have a guy like Chauncey Billups
creating for him. So maybe you know, you see a lot of tauncy drive into the whole kicking out to Stephen Jackson, but you also are correct, Steven Jackson's the guy who can back you down as well. Kind of more of those wing guys in this three on three four man, I think it's gonna be interesting. Number five, at our guards or wing players, we have the captain, the co captain of the Power, Patino Mobley, former Houston Rocket,
you know, kind of your your standard point guard. He's gonna be able to manage this team run the floor pretty well, although it is a half court setting. What do you think about Cotino Mobley in our five spots? So yeah, just so people know how we did these rankings. We did it, you know a lot of us. We looked at pedigree, you know, stat trackers, what we see now. And also you mentioned this right, you mentioned this. Some of these guys are one year out of the league.
Some of these guys are ten years out of the league. Remember also in our kind of second tier, we had another guy in the Three Headed Monsters, guy mak Mud Abdul ra Woulf. We all love him, but he's been out of the game for a while, so he fell
into that second tier of guards. But you think Coutino Mobley has a shot to do work for the power and now here these two guards the four in the five spot Chard Lewis, And when we first started talking about the Big three, Richard Lewis was one of my favorites to be one of the better players in this league. Um here's my thing with these two guards. They remind me of like a Jamal Crawford now where they will get any shot they want in this league. Uh, they
both for their career, I think they will. That's the kind of player they were. Uh players they were, and uh they're probably gonna be the most exciting to watch in my opinion, other than uh white chocolate. I've seen, you know a lot of clips of him social media and he's been killing it. I'm so excited that. Interestingly enough, we have not yet named him in our guard rankings and we are down to our final three. In the three spot, we have someone who is a pure ambassador
for this league, the captain of Three's Company. It is the answer Ai Alan Iverson. Do we really even need to say anything? Is it surprising that he's only third on our list. Uh, to some it would be twenty six points per game for a career would kind of render a number. But he's for a while. But that's what we gave Chauncey Billups. Like I said, we combined pedigree, you know, stats, and Chauncey Billups, you know, exemplified what a point guard really was. And he's not that old,
no doubt so. But in our two spot you mentioned him already White Chocolate Jason Williams. Let me ask you this, though, we have Jason Williams in our two spot and we have Richard Lewis in our four spot. These are both guards on the same team. The three headed monsters look diesel. But here's the thing. Do you think they will um kind of cut into each other's production and steals? Like do you think it's kind of like a backfield by committee kind of thing. Do you think they can both
get off? Here's the thing. If you've seen White Chocolate recently, he can still pass man and all the Shard Lewis needs is a little space and he will score. You just kind of look at their bigs or they're big, I should say they're one big. Basically is a former first overall draft. Pick qualm A. Brown and you like I do, like Kuam. Let it be known, I like Kualm.
I think Kualm is gonna take this seriously and really look for this to be an opportunity for um for you know folks, to kind of change the narrative around qualm A. Brown. But that gets to our number one overall RADI guard in this league representing the Killer Threes. It's Chauncey Billups. I want to tell you guys before like the way this is structured. I think the points
are gonna come from the outside. But Mike Sweetney, Jerome Williams, these guys were in our second tier of big men, the number five big Men as ranked by Speeds and Donna, I gotta say for this one, this was really all speeds. I'm riding with this guy. I have faith in this guy to reclaim the narrative about his professional career. Number five in the Big Men, in my opinion, former number one overall. All. Pick me Brown and let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. Let me tell
you why. Donnie, Okay, I know you're down on Kwame Brown, but look at the three headed Monsters roster. The Three Headed Monsters was a team that you and I both like. Overall, he's the only big man on that roster. The rest of the roster Shard Louis, Jason Williams, Mock Mood, Abdul Raoulf and Eddie Batson. These are all wings or guards. This is the only guy he is gonna stay on the court. I think he's younger done a lot of players. Remember he was drafted straight out of high school. He's
a little bit younger. He's the only guy. He's not gonna split time and come off the court. I think Kuam A. Brown will produce in this league, Donny, Now, in terms of producing, where do you think his production is gonna come? Rebounding? Rebounding? Okay, I think he will be the leading rebounder of the Big Three this season five and a half of his career rebound YO. Put it on the board right now. I hope the night
ol JP has tracked all this stuff. Okay, we got dubs in six calves and six I'm telling you right now, Kuamy Brown will be the leading rebounder in the Big Hot take clip at JP. That's what I'm talking about, because listen, you know two of the other guys that we have in our top five, Donnie, and we can go there right now. Two of the guys we have
there are on the trilogy Kenyan Martin and Al Harrington. Now, don't get me wrong, these guys have a much better pedigree in the NBA than a guy like kwam A. Brown. But they're gonna both be rebounding. They're gonna both be doing the banging inside, so they're gonna, you know, cancel each other out a little bit. When we talk about fantasy value, how would you have Al Harrington and Kenyan Martin on the trilogy or what kind of team do
you think that makes the trilogy? Don Well, not see, Alan Harrington is one of my favorite players other than maybe Richard Lewis. He probably is my favorite player. Um, you know on the Wizards. I remember on the Wizards he was a decent score. He was always a good score throughout his career. He was a bigger guy like I mentioned yesterday, Uh you know, Shard reminding me of like a Jamal Crawford now getting his shot how he wants if that's if there's a big that's gonna also
get his SHOT's gonna be alt Harrington. He did play for like eight teams in his career, but he was a good score and um, you know that's why he's fairly high on our list, no doubt, no doubt. Um, also in our top five another big man. You talk about a big man who could step outside a little bit and score a little bit. That is the big man of the Try State and he is the captain of that team. I'm talking about Jermaine O'Neill. What do you think we have him in our top five big
men as well? And similarly, you know when you talk about the Try State, they have other guards. There are other big you know, they have other guards like a Bondzi Wells, you know, things like that. So, um, do you think Jermaine O'Neil might be able to do work for Try State in this league? So the same way you kind of have kwam A Brown as I guess you're aggressive. Yeah, that's right, I do. That's right, I do.
Jermaine O'Neil is gonna be my rebound guy. Um, you know, averaging you know a little over eight eight rebounds for his career per game. He was very gritty if you remember him on the Pacers. So He's probably my pick for the leading rebounder. I guess better than Kwamy Brown. You got Jermaine O'Neil is the leading rebounder. I have kwalm A. Brown. I think you need to give me odds if you want to know the truth, but I will take it. I think I will take you a
lot of money if you win. I will take it anyway. Yo, you heard that JP. We gotta mark that down. Kwam a Brown, leading rebounder of the Big Three, and both of us have as our number one big in the league. You're right, this is a guy who could slash, who could score, but it's still technically a big in my opinion, in our category rankings representing the power. No, it is not Jerome Williams, who was the subject of that you know video we played earlier on It is your man
or Corey. I've seen people that have actually, um, Actually, if you want to the truth, Alan Iverson, who will be representing three Company, has actually picked Corey mcgetty to be the m v P of this league. I actually I really like that. You know, we were kind of on the same page with this one. UM, Like yesterday, there's a lot of social media Instagram, Twitter, where you could check these things. Corey mcgetti looks like he's still
in great shape. He was always a good score. He was a power forward that could step out into shooting guard positions. Um he Honestly, he was one of my I remember using him at two k Okay. So that's that was my guy. That is millennial rationality I have ever seen. I throw that in, But I'm not gonna either. All Right, you know I'm not mad at you. Though I'm not mad at you. Listen, Big Three will get kicked off later on this month at the Barclays Center June.
It's gonna be great, you know, the barn Storming Tour where they'll have four games. All eight teams would be there. Donnie Burns and Speed the spitting statistician, We're gonna try and be there as well to give you everything you need covering that
