Ice Cube Invites Browns Star Myles Garrett to BIG3 Tryout

Ice Cube framed the invitation as a standard tryout, with Garrett’s Browns contract making near-term participation uncertain.

Overview

  • BIG3 co-founder Ice Cube said Garrett is welcome to "come try out" after videos of the NFL defender hooping drew widespread attention.
  • Garrett was at the Aug. 24 BIG3 championship to watch his brother Sean Williams, whose Miami 305 beat the Chicago Triplets 52-48.
  • Ice Cube emphasized that any entrant must pass the league’s normal tryout process and said athletes who can play are encouraged to test their skills.
  • Garrett told Rachel Nichols he could see himself joining the league eventually but noted he would need clearance from Browns leadership first.
  • The 29-year-old signed a four-year, $160 million extension in March that keeps him under contract through 2030, though he has shown legit hoops ability dating back to high school and a recent Summer League dunk.
