Big3 has to be pretty fun. I watched some FIBA 3x3 and it is entertaining, but in BIg 3, level of play has to be way higher, and the players have far bigger level of fame, Watching old man Cuttinho Mobley or Michael Beasley has to be far more exiting than watching random FIBA 3x3 semi pro players.

I went in person last month, it was pretty cool. Much smaller than a NBA crowd but i appreciated it for what it was.

I finally don’t live in okc blackout territory so I can get league pass. When is the best time to get it for the full season?

I think i got it for free right before the season one year from some gambling site. But outside of that, i think they run some sort promo around black Friday.

It really depends on you, I usually get it the day before or the day of preseason, yet again I'm not in the U.S, if you're looking for the best deals, black Friday I'd say is one of them ( as poster above me mentioned) , another is during the All Star weekend/break & the third is just when the playoffs begin. 8-)

Just watched the Out The Mud Podcast (with Tony Allen and Zach Randolph). They had Jalen Williams on (this looks like it was filmed during summer league. Anyway, I thought it was a great episode and I loved that he shouted out Toumani Camara of the Blazers.

Portland is going to surprise some people this year, defensively.
