The NBA is being investigated by the United States Department of Justice over allegations the league attempted to sabotage Ice Cube’s Big3 league, according to TMZ Sports. The league has denied the allegations.
Ice Cube and Big3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz have met with Department of Justice lawyers regarding concerns the NBA may have engaged in anticompetitive behavior.
The allegations include the NBA interfering with sponsorship deals, discouraging television networks from broadcasting games, and making arbitrary rules to prevent players from joining the league, despite the NBA and Big3 seasons not overlapping.
The report also claims Big3 officials believe they have been “unfairly targeted by the NBA” and sources in the story say NBA owners have been discouraged from investing in Ice Cube’s league.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass told TMZ the allegations were “not true”.
“We have been supportive of the Big3 since its inception, but we declined to invest.”
The NBA would face a substantial fine if found guilty.
When one (Ice Cube) aligns themselves with financial backers, such as Steve Bannon, in a business endeavor bad things happen.

Mark Cuban got caught getting brunch with Bannon years ago and I think he’s tried to scrub the pics from Google lol

He didnt do very well at getting it removed.
Didn’t Mark Cuban put together a run for president once upon a time? That’s probably why he approached Bannon.
“caught eating brunch with an influential conservative”
Only on social media would this idea that a billionaire’s scared the public will find out they had brunch with an influential conservative even be plausible.
The real world==Reddit
always love when people are purposefully vague like this, unaware that they’re essentially snitching on themselves
Back in my day we just called them nazis.
Hell, the Supreme Court sided with them and their right to do it.

Has nothing to do with the anticompetitive actions of the NBA. But good try distracting everyone.
Somebody associated with the Trump administration messing up a whole competing league through lawsuits? I can’t imagine anything like that ever happening…
Such an od pairing, but he spends a lot of time on fox news. Dam shame man
From f the police to begging them for help. What a piece of shit cube turned out to be.
ice cube has been ultra rich for so long he’s pretty much separated from the average human experience
He was never a gangster lmaoo him and Dr.Dre lived in the suburbs
Cube didn’t live in he suburbs, he was bussed to his HS in the burbs though
I mean, that is 100% a good thing.
Cube is open to appearing on whoever wants to platform him. the real question is why news platforms you like aren’t giving him air time
Because what relevance does a semi-obscure basketball league have to a cable news channel?
