<p>Back in December Ice Cube announced his “Big 3” basketball league, which will consist of former NBA players hitting the court again to play a game of 3 on 3 throughout the country.</p>
<p>Now the league has gained a prominent player for their debut season.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources-allen-iverson-to-serve-as-head-coachplayer-in-new-big3-league-215305624.html">Yahoo Sports</a></em>, Allen Iverson has joined the league as one of the eight players to pull double duty as a player-coach. Therefore, fans will get to see him play the sport again, but they will also get a taste of his coaching skills.</p>
<p>A press conference will be held in New York City on Wednesday, where he will talk more about his new role.</p>
<p>Iverson last played in the NBA during the 2009-2010 season, after spending a total of 14 seasons in the NBA. In 2016 he was also inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>Ice Cube explained his idea behind the development of this new league, he said, “I thought of this concept as a fan who got sick of seeing his heroes retire and not play anymore. A lot of these guys can still play once they retire–just not the back-to-backs or four games in five nights.”</p>
<p>The Big 3 League is expected to launch this summer after the 2016-2017 NBA season wraps up.</p>
