It may be an extravagance, which I think is not bad at all, the BIG 3 tournament which brings together former players and NBA legends may be a very good idea, as these players who still show off their basketball skills can still be seen in full competition by thousands of fans in many U.S. cities and on television broadcasts while the NBA is on its partial break.
The truth may be an interesting idea and the BIG 3 in 2018 in its second season is still struggling to establish itself in the hands of Ice Cube, who found in this 3x3 project an alternative for basketball fans.
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, 49, is playing for the 3 Headed Monsters team, which we saw in the 90's. We know something about the history of Abdul-Rauf, who before he converted to Islam was called Chris Jackson and in 1991 came to be called Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, His stay in the NBA was controversial, it should also be noted that he suffered from a neurological disorder called 'Tourette's Syndrome', which causes violent and involuntary tics, but in spite of this he showed a lot of concentration in his game.
His conversion to Islam moved him further and further away from American patriotism and mid-season the NBA announced that they no longer wanted to hear the national anthem standing up. Henceforth his political and religious stance revealed much controversy. There is an excellent documentary film called "By the Dawn's Early Light: Chris Jackson's Journey to Islam," which talks about the process of Chris Jackson's conversion to Islam now Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, here is the link for you to watch:
Just on July 6, 2018, at the age of 49, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf had a great performance with 20 Pts. giving the victory to his team and keeping them undefeated, here is the video of the summary of his brilliant game:
