BIG3 Announces 2024 Celebrity Basketball Game Line-Up Powered By Monster Energy
BIG3 and Monster Energy have announced their third annual Celebrity Game, tipping off in Boston on Aug. 18. The entertaining sporting event will also be followed by the 2024 All-Star and Championship Games.
BIG3 co-founder and coach, Ice Cube, will guide Team Webull against Team Green, led by NBA Hall of Fame Legend Clyde Drexler.
This year, the TD Garden will be star-studded with familiar faces from the music, sports, TV and film industries including: Ty Dolla $ign, Anthony Anderson, Matt James (The Bachelor), French Montana, Fabolous, Flau’Jae Johnson, Vernon Davis (NFL Super Bowl Champion), Ty Law (3x NFL Super Bowl Champion), The Professor (Streetball Legend), Michael Blackson, Skilla Baby and Briana Green (former Harlem Globetrotter).
The special event will see celebrities compete for charity through unique plays including: “4-point shot circles,” and “Bring the Fire Rule,” which allows a foul call to be challenged with 1-on-1 game. The stars will “raise money and awareness for underprivileged youth and other important causes.”
Monster Energy will also donate a minimum of $25,000 to the event’s charitable beneficiaries.
“Over the past three years, the Monster Energy BIG3 Celebrity Game has become an integral part of the BIG3 Championship Weekend,” stated Cube in a press release. “In the BIG3, it doesn’t matter where you come from or what your name is – you have to prove it on the court and that’s no different whether you are a baller, entertainer or an NFL hall of famer. Gillie and I have two years of winning pedigree; Team Green better look out!”
“The Monster Energy BIG3 Celebrity Game has become a staple celebrity competition that features an eclectic mix of talent,” added Event Producer and Founder of Idol Roc, Steven Ferraro. “Each year is more entertaining than the last, and we look forward to what this year brings.”
Last year, Cube and Gillie’s Team Webull took home the trophy as 2x Champions and will be gunning for a third W this year.
