Caitlin Clark has already broken barriers in college basketball, and now she’s broken one in pro sports, even before leaving the NCAA.

Ice Cube’s professional Big3 league has offered the Iowa Hawkeyes’ point guard $5 million to play in the 3-on-3 half-court basketball competition. She would be the first woman to compete in the league stacked with former NBA players.

After TMZ initially reported the news, Cube confirmed it on Twitter, writing, “BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3.”

The deal would reportedly allow Clark to still play in the WNBA after the 10-week Big3 season is over.

In January 2017, Ice Cube, along with entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz, announced the launch of the Big3, promising that it would feature some of the best players to ever play the game. Cube and...

Exclusive: Ice Cube is teaming with Jesse Collins Entertainment on a sports docuseries revolving around his successful Big3 sports league. Ice Cube will star in and produce via his Cube Vision with Jesse Collins Entertainment.

The as-yet untitled series will take an unprecedented look at the making of one of the fastest growing new leagues in the United States, the Big3, as Ice Cube defies the NBA on its quest to become one of the biggest sports leagues in the world.

Described as Welcome to Wrexham and Cheer meets basketball, the series will be dual-narrative following Cube and the challenges of building a new basketball league from the ground up, as well as the journey of one of the Big3 teams, as they navigate the ups and downs of a grueling season in pursuit of a national championship. Big3’s widely covered $1.2 billion lawsuit against Qatari investors will also be covered in the series.

Exclusive: Ray Romano will star and produce a new film about the extraordinary life of American basketball coach and broadcaster Jim Valvano.

The script will be written by Jim Strouse, whose credits include Grace Is Gone and The Winning Season. Romano will produce with game1’s Basil Iwanyk, Greg Economou and Mark Ciardi (The Rookie). The Valvano family will provide key resources for the film, serving as executive producers.

Jimmy V’s life is the ultimate underdog story, peppered with courage and optimism when facing long odds. It starts with Valvano’s meteoric coaching ascent, including his astonishing run to the 1983 NCAA Championship with the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The team won a last-second victory over a heavily favored Houston Cougars team that had all time NBA greats Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler on its roster.

Valvano’s optimism never wavered, even when he received a tragic cancer diagnosis. His...

Exclusive: With the NBA’s 75th season underway, Mike Tollin — who helped produce last year’s Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance — has found another basketball legend whose story he’s looking to tell. Tollin’s Msm is planning a new documentary on the life of George Gervin, aka “The Iceman,” who was just named to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. The film will showcase Gervin’s influence on the game that can still be seen at all levels throughout the world.

Currently in production, the untitled project will be directed by One9 and produced by Msm, alongside Keith Stone’s GameAbove Entertainment and its subsidiary Front Runner Films. The documentary will be produced by Msm’s Mason Gordon with Tollin executive producing, alongside two longtime executives: Charles Rosenzweig of the NBA and Mark Thomashow, formerly of Nike advertising.

“It’s a true honor and pleasure to direct a...

As we kick off this week’s installments of ‘The Last Dance,’ Michael Jordan is the league’s elder statesman and undisputed king. At the 1998 All-Star Game, Larry Bird is his coach, and Magic Johnson is a TV commentator. The men whose feats Jordan once strove to match are long gone from the court, and a 19-year-old Kobe Bryant — the event’s youngest-ever competitor — is nipping at his heels. (Leading to some hilarious pot/kettle locker-room banter where an indignant Jordan preaches about Kobe’s ball-hogging.) He glad-hands and breezily...

CBS Sports and Big3, the professional 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, have agreed to an exclusive deal for live broadcasts of Big3’s 2019 season.

Games will be shown on CBS and CBS Sports Network, with more than 20 hours throughout the season on the former and more than 25 hours on the latter.

The 2019 season, the league’s third, is set to open on CBS in primetime on Saturday, June 22. During the 11-week season, games will air live on CBS Television Network and CBS Sports Network on both Saturday and Sunday, with the championship game on September 1.

CBS Sports Network will also air the Big3 Draft live on May 1, when 120 professional players will vie for only 31 open roster spots on 12 teams, expanded from eight the first two seasons.

In 2018, according to today’s announcement, average arena attendance for the emerging league exceeded 14,000, up from 11,000 in its debut year.

Amar'e Stoudemire says he's not ready to walk away from pro basketball -- telling TMZ Sports he's aiming to return to the NBA next season.  The 35-year-old big man hasn't played in the Association since May 2016 -- but, he kept himself busy playing overseas and now he's competing in Ice Cube's BIG3 league.  But, Stoudemire believes there's a solid market in the NBA for a veteran big man -- and he's ready to get back to work.

Clyde Drexler says the BIG3 league is packed with at least 12 dudes who have a real shot at NBA glory in 2018 ... telling TMZ Sports he expects his league to launch those guys back to The Association.  Drexler just took over as the commish of Ice Cube's 3-on-3 league and says he's been blown away by guys like Amare Stoudemire, DeShawn Stevenson and Andre Owens.  Ice Cube has previously said he hopes the BIG3 will...

Ice Cube, Clyde Drexler and BIG3 league execs are currently taking part in high-level discussions to start a BIG3 league in China ... TMZ Sports has learned. Here's the deal ...

When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar begins to compete in the upcoming 26th season of “Dancing with the Stars” he’ll be the fifth NBA player to have challenged for the Mirror Ball Trophy. Will he have what it takes to win? The new season begins on April 30, so before he and his competitors start competing on the dance floor, let’s consider the pros and cons for this contender.

Pros:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played for 20 seasons in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks (1969-74) and then the Los Angeles Lakers (1975-89). During his career as a center Abdul-Jabbar was a record six-time NBA Most Valuable Player, a record 19-time NBA All-Star, a 15-time All-NBA selection, and an 11-time NBA All-Defensive Team member. In 1996 he was honored by the NBA as one of the 50 greatest players in history. So Abdul-Jabbar has spent decades accumulating fans who might eagerly vote for him, and he...

Seven sports are represented by the 10 athletes on “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes,” including some of the show’s staples. But which sport’s athletes have done the best on the show? You can probably guess. Let’s look at these seven sports’ “Dancing” histories.

Football (Josh Norman)

As everyone knows, football is by far “Dancing”’s favorite sport. They don’t even try to hide it. Nineteen football players have hoofed it before this season, and while they haven’t all made it to the business end of their respective seasons, football has produced four winners, three runner-ups and two third-place finishers. So, no pressure, Josh, to follow in these pigskin players’ footsteps.

Figure skating

Figure skating is “Dancing”’s second favorite sport, though it’s still well behind football. Before this season, six...

‘Dancing with the Stars: Athletes’ has dropped another clue about the cast. On Wednesday, the show’s official Instagram page posted a black-and-white photo of a close-up of a woman’s hands holding a basketball. And eagle-eyed “Dancing” fans know exactly whose hands those are: Lindsay Arnold’s.

How do they know? The woman is wearing a triple wedding band on her left ring finger — and what do you know? Arnold also has a triple wedding band, as multiple fans noted in the comments.

Former NBA star Baron Davis is pumped Nancy Lieberman got tapped to head coach a BIG3 team ... and says her hiring proves their sport is inclusive of all people. "That's my girl. Well deserved," Baron -- a recent BIG3 signee -- told TMZ Sports. "The thing about basketball is there ain't no discrimination. If you got game, if you know the game, we gonna accept you."

Lawrence Taylor is still killing running backs -- laying the smackdown on guys like Marcus Allen and Eric Dickerson on his way to a victory in Alonzo Mourning's big celeb golf tourney. Event officials tell us Taylor shot a 57 on 18 holes at the Turnberry Isle Resort & Golf Club on January 18th ... in an event that raised money for the Mourning Family Foundation.  We're told Taylor outplayed a ton of huge stars including Sterling Sharpe,...

In December, the Toronto Raptors traded Rudy Gay and, more importantly, his massive contract to the Sacramento Kings. As a result, the Raptors slid second-year forward Terrence Ross into the starting lineup. Thus far, the results have been promising. Ross exclusively told Uinterview that he feels comfortable starting. “I played enough games to really have that confidence and make sure I have the support of my teammates there,” Ross told Uinterview. “So it’s always feeling good going into the second half of the season with the momentum swing and just knowing you put yourself in the best possible position to win.”

Ross told Uinterview that his career highlight took place in January when he scored 51 points against the Los Angeles Clippers. “It’s kind of surreal. I didn’t really believe it happened where I really scored 51 points,” Ross said. “It must have been a misprint or something. It was just…...

It's been more than a decade since the 1990s ended, yet the Internet can't seem to go a day without a reminder of the neon slap bracelets that may have been banned from your school.

A week ago, this question would have been much easier to answer. Without a championship ring under his belt, LeBron James is merely an explosive all-round forward, a physical specimen and a great player. That is not to say that such a description isn’t impressive, but in the history of NBA many have been considered “great.”

With a ring under his belt however, LeBron James has vaulted himself onto a list of some of the greatest NBA players of all time. Many will argue that he isn’t quite there yet, and that is debatable, but no one can argue that his dominating performances throughout the 2011-2012 playoffs didn’t give him an extraordinary boox.

To begin, it would be advantageous to list players that are definitely above LeBron James. Also, I apologize in advance if certain legends are omitted, but due to the sheer number of greats, it...

Showtime is celebrating Black History Month by featuring documentaries and comedy, stand-up specials that highlight the culture and experience of the Black community. This includes a new documentary from filmmaker, historian and author Nelson George. The doc, entitled Brooklyn Boheme, spotlights some of the defining black voices that rose out of Brooklyn, including: Spike Lee, Chris Rock, Common and Erykah Badu.

Check out the full rundown of Black History Month specials on Showtime below:

Brooklyn Boheme

Airs Thursday, February 2nd at 8:30 Pm (Et/Pt)

This intimate portrait from noted filmmaker, historian and author Nelson George explores the Black arts movement that exploded in the famed Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York in the mid-1980s-‘90s and launched the careers of such acclaimed artists as filmmaker Spike Lee, comedian Chris Rock, musicians Branford Marsalis, Common, Erykah Badu and yasiin bey (formerly known as Mos Def), among many others.

The moment 6-foot-7 retired NBA player Rick Fox became a rumored Season 11 contestant on "Dancing with the Stars," fans wondered which of the female pros the towering Fox could possibly partner with. Their answer? Cheryl Burke.

Although taller than some of her co-stars, Burke is still more than a foot shorter than Fox -- though not with the aid of the right heels. Fox knows that this could be a problem for some taller guys, but he's already plotting how to use it to his advantage. When Zap2it caught up with him at the "Dwts" casting announcement, he shed a little light on his plan.

"Jason Taylor opened a door for bigger guys, considering most of the female dancers are in the 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-5 range," says Fox of the 6-foot-6 NFL linebacker and Season 6 runner-up. "I've watched a number of his videos, and he really owned his height.

Though we don't yet know who their partners will be (which, let's face it, is an important factor in deciding who can win and who can't), the celebrity contestants for the new season of "Dancing With the Stars" have been announced. Ever since the launch of the show back in 2005, it has evolved from a charming summer replacement show into one of the most popular reality programs on television.

At this point, they've figured out exactly how to cast these things. In fact, you can even tell how everybody is going to finish based on the role each person plays in the cast. Check out the predictions below.

The Ringer

Role: The professional performer (usually a musician with some kind of dance background) who provides the gold standard for the rest of the contestants. These people are usually the finalists.

Past Versions: Mya, Nick Lachey, Nicole Scherzinger, Aaron Carter

This Year's Model: Brandy.

"Dancing With the Stars" may have filled its athlete spot for the coming season.

Former NBA player and actor Rick Fox will reportedly be among the 12 people in the cast ABC announces on Monday (Aug. 30). As with all casting speculation, the network isn't commenting, but E! Online reports that Fox is in for Season 11, which debuts Sept. 20.

The 6-foot-7 Fox will be the second former NBA player to compete on "Dwts." The first, Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, didn't fare especially well; he was the fourth person eliminated in Season 4.

Other all-but-confirmed participants on the new "Dwts" season include "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from "Jersey Shore," Brandy Norwood, Jennifer Grey, David Hasselhoff, Michael Bolton, Florence Henderson and Bristol Palin. Kirstie Alley's name has also been floated.

Fox played 13 seasons for the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, averaging just under 10 points per game for his career.

EA continues to trot out the old school NBA stars for the upcoming release of "NBA Jam" on Wii (and other platforms, apparently). We had already revealed that Magic Johnson and Larry Bird will be appearing in the game, and now we can see six more additions to the "Jam" roster in action:
