  • Big 3 Basketball Thrills in Atlanta

    Big 3 Basketball Thrills in Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    The Big 3 Basketball league came to Atlanta on Sunday, July 7 with something to prove. Of at least it seemed like it.

    Former Atlanta Hawks Joe Johnson and Josh Smith put on a show for their former hometown fans.

    Big 3 Basketball is a hit in Atlanta

    Johnson led the Triplets to a victory over Smith’s Bivouac squad, although it was close.

    Here are some highlights:

    Here are the Big 3 basketball teams that played in Atlanta on July 7, 2019:

    Date  Big 3 Games Location
    1 p.m. 3-Headed Monsters vs. Killer 3s State Farm Arena
    4 p.m. Power vs. Trilogy State Farm Arena
    8 p.m. Triplets vs. Bivouac State Farm Arena

    Big 3 basketball comes to Atlanta

    After the game, Johnson spoke about his game, which he still feels is NBA-ready.

    “I don’t think I have a weakness, honesty,” he said. “I use this as therapy. If an NBA team calls me, sure, I”ll go out.”

    The 3-Headed Monsters went 7-1 at one point last year but couldn’t finish the deal. They are led by prolific scorers Rashard Lewis, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf and Reggie Evans.

    Power went 4-4 last year behind the prowess of Corey Maggette, Cuttino Mobley and Glen “Big Baby” Davis, among others.

    Trilogy, the 2018 Big 3 champions, return this season with Jason Terry, James White and David Hawkins.

    The Triplets bring a formidable force on the court, including “Iso” Joe Johnson, Al Jefferson and Jennero Pargo among others.

    Bivouac is an expansion team with an decidedly Atlanta flavor: Former Atlanta Hawk legend Reggie Theus helms the team with former Philips Arena highlighters Dion Glover and Josh Smith.
