Ice Cube's BIG3 Sued for 250M by CBL
Champions Basketball League (CBL) founder Carl George filed a $250 million lawsuit against the Ice Cube's BIG3.
In the report, George alleges Ice Cube and BIG3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz consulted with members of the CBL and proceeded to lift ideas from the CBL to incorporate into BIG3.
In the suit, George's lawyers wrote, "When certain players expressed their desire to participate in the CBL games, Mr. Cube confronted the players personally about playing in the CBL and threatened the players that they would be fined, not allowed to participate in the 52 percent of revenues bonus pool, or replaced on their teams".
George contended the BIG3 signed players to exclusive contracts that precluded them from playing in another league.
