Caitlin Clark is about to become the highest-paid women’s basketball player of all time, but will that be in the WNBA or in Ice Cube’s BIG3? Cube has offered women’s college basketball’s leading scorer $5 million to play in his three-on-three league. Will she take the cash? Can she compete against the men on the court? Whitlock and Steve Kim engage in a spicy debate.

Feed Whitlock Steve Kim Steve I want to talk to you about our girl Caitlyn Clark she’s back in the news ESPN has offered or not ESPN ESPN has reported that Ice Cube and the big three have offered Caitlyn Clark $5 million to in the big three uh you might

Like it I absolutely love it I think this is brilliant by Ice Cube in the big three let me read Ice Cube’s tweet uh we int we intended the offer to remain private while Caitlyn Clark plays for the championship but I won’t deny what’s now already out there big three made a

Historic offer to Caitlyn Clark why wouldn’t we Caitlyn is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the big three whoa Steve I I love this I I think I think this could be the wave of the future you put a woman uh on each big three team and you

It’s a three on three league and there’s a woman on the court at all times one of the three players you’re telling me you wouldn’t watch Caitlyn Clark playing the big three against men you telling me you wouldn’t watch that you’re now turning ice cubes League into the di3 versus di3 three

Really so now every team has to have a female player what is this intermal at PE class come on I look tell me you wouldn’t watch for five minutes and that’s it and I’d let you fill me in I just I just go on your timeline on

Twitter i’ scroll through I said okay okay all right I got the gist of it that’s it that that’s I mean Jason here’s the thing though from practical standpoint F basketball who is she GNA guard who is she eventually but no no no no no we’re basketball it’s three on

Three she’ll get completely exposed she may not even get her shot off if she’s playing against men now under your idea the di3 I get it now okay she can pick on a weak spot the other females but if she’s going against strictly against men because I haven’t heard of any other

Person like Juju kins oh my God I can’t believe I actually know a second woman’s this this show this show has had a very bad influence on me but the fact that nobody else okay is being offered your idea is not in play yet now historically I

Believe there have been women that have played against men in professional leagues not the NBA but I think Nancy liberman I believe an Meyers uh look at me the college women’s college basketball historian that I am you know call me uh dick vitala that thing right but Jason she would get physically and

Athletically overmatched in this three onree format against men would you admit that against men yes but yes there we go but not so bad that she couldn’t be out on the court with those guys for a while and by the way an Meers I believe had a

Tri out with my Indiana Pacers when I was a kid if memory served and it didn’t go well uh but it’s a halfcourt game it it it it’s it’s again we’re not like the defensive intensity of the big three isn’t incredible and and here’s where the problem oh oh Jason whoever

Gets matched up with Caitlyn Clark they will suddenly become Michael Cooper Bruce Bowen trust me which guy out there wants to be embarrassed oh man that guy got lit up by 30 for Kate and Clark come on you don’t think the male ego would suddenly motivate these guys come on

Jason I I do think they would probably have to tweak the rules a little bit oh okay I bet I’m tell well the NFL’s tweaking every rule why can’t the big three the big three’s only been around for four or five years they can tweak their rules if the NFL can under the

Whitlock okay hold on under the Whitlock regulations when Caitlyn Clark gets the ball you must stand within five feet of a radius so wherever she goes we’re just going to have like a moving radius for Caitlyn Clark see this is a farce already a no no no no no no no what what

They’ll do is The Tweak they’ll make cuz we’re look when she’s got the ball and she’s out on the court when she’s on offense they can play normal regular defense where she could get crushed is that they allowed men to post her up and so I think they would they would whoever

She’s guarding wouldn’t be allowed to post up uh and so that’s the kind of rule tweak or whoever has the assignment with Caitlyn Clark or whoever she’s the guard that she’s guard can’t post her you know Royce White or someone taking her down to the low post that would be

An ugly ugly uh Affair but if Jason here’s the issue yeah if I am a connoisseur of women’s basketball which you have become which I’ll never become and you want the game to succeed the last thing you want is her to be exposed in any other league you want the WNBA

And the college women’s basketball spear to be bigger to be more relevant you don’t want this the last thing you need and want Jason just telling you it’s the worst idea for the movement of women’s basketball in my view no listen here’s here’s what you I believe what Ice Cube

Is doing and I think it’s smart he’s going to disrupt the entire WNBA if he gets a handful of women involved in the big three the WNBA is toast it it no longer has a purpose let them all go play overseas somewhere and take 10 to

20 of these uh young ladies uh and put them in the WNBA the smaller guy you know the people the girls 63 and Below they can handle the ball a little bit have them in the big three that will that’s the proleague for the super Elite women’s college

Basketball players here in America WNBA basically goes away becomes more irrelevant college players stay in college for four or five years build their brands and come into the big three look this is a brilliant move I think Ice Cube and the big three are going to get a bunch of money corporate money

Thrown at them for this idea and and where the only issu is going to come in is like Caitlyn Clark is worth 5 million she is handful of these other women may be worth $250 $300,000 they may be upset about how much Caitlyn’s getting play and some of

The male payers may be upset about how much Caitlyn’s getting play paid but if they stay the course in two years from now three years from now the The Big Three is a big force and everybody’s getting paid and Caitlyn Clark has created a new form of summer basketball

That a lot of women and again they may expand to get 2025 teams because of this concept I think people and you guys that are watching hop in the comments and tell wouldn’t you watch Steve Kim is crazy he’ll watch too he’s lying right now where he doesn’t know what he’s

Talking about he would watch these women play against men in the big three it would I don’t watch The Big Three now I would certainly watch this and I don’t think I’m alone okay so hold on you said the WNBA would become more irrelevant didn’t know that was possible okay didn’t know that

Was actually possible okay but I’ll take your word for it the other thing is strategically let’s just go back just want to backtrack a little bit okay so you can’t post her up here’s the problem could you imagine her trying to take a charge when she had to be the helps side

Defense whatever that is in a three-man league oh my God it’d be like her running into an am Trak poor Caitlyn the other thing is this is the funniest thing let me ask you this let me ask you this let me ask you this and I don’t know the answer to this

Question so I’m asking it blind do you think you could take a charge in the big three any more safely than Caitlyn Clark at six two and a half 215 pounds of chiseled yellow steel yeah I could take it better better okay would I be like Korean Derek fiser no

But there there there’s bone density there’s lean mass so yes now could I play basketball like Caitlyn Clark no but I can’t play basketball so let’s go back to this whole notion do you remember when uh this is about three four years ago boy time flies now

Remember when old Ice Cube old O’Shea Jackson went on video soul with those four bitter nasty women talking about his Trump Platinum plan or he wanted to team up with Trump or at least talk to him see the way they treated him and the way he just backed down he he was no

Longer America’s Most Wanted the backlash he’s gonna get for paying Caitlyn Clark a white girl oh my God he’s gonna get hammered in these streets he really is he’s gonna have to get some sisters or those girl those those old washed up hens they’re not

Going to be happy with him oh boy Jason this is why you bring me here I think of this stuff am I wrong or right come on Jason this is going to be we hop in comments right now and should I be offended or sh will people be offended

By those old washed up H did Steve step out of bounds please leave a comment I probably did you know what I probably did but I mean every word of it and the thing that I didn’t like was Ice Cube just backed down well you know hey Cube

Come on man if you believe in the plan should have stood up and that old line that he had from Boys in Hood remember when he pulled out the gun at the at the we got a problem here we got a problem here he didn’t do that and I’m like bro

What happened to you what happened so I’m just telling you there’s gonna be backlash for offering all of that those Millions to that milk of magnesia I’m just telling you there’s there’s issues here issues all over the place well I could definitely see the Britney grinder

Crowd is is definitely going to be upset you know she did all that time in a Russian prison for American Freedom how come Ice Cube ain’t offering her $5 million uh there you go you know telling you I made a good point it was out of

Bounds but still a good point Jason tell it is well uh someone’s got a land an interview with uh Cheryl swopes as soon as possible and get her take on this I can’t wait to hear Cheryl swopes SW God swopes there it is man geez she’s not

Gonna be happy with this oh my God so what did you call it the big diie is that what you called it yeah the big di3 the whole that yes what is this a company softball game where everybody has to play and marry from accounting

You got a sticker in left field and hope to God that nobody hits the ball the other way that alone right there already takes away my interest it does so we got the title for this big di3 love it thank you Steve great job we’ll see you next time thanks for Watching waiting for the countdown coming off the break down standing in line for freom look Break

  1. I've loved watching Catlin play but Jason's got a take a step back from his adoration. Playing against men would turn out as bad as when the women's Olympic team thought they could beat a boys H.S. team.

  2. Thanks for the laughs today. Steve was great. Jason – Cannot post her up – What kind of rule is that?

  3. She should take the 5 mill., I wouldn’t give a fuck if I didn’t score a point. Take the 5 mill and run .

  4. The only time half of her wmba teammates will show any interest in her is in the shower. Not like they're going to pass her the ball. She should play in Europe, and get paid well. She can still get rich on endorsements.

  5. I've thought the best solution is clarke plays 1 more year college. The wnba has an expansion team for the state of Iowa in 2025 and give them the #1 pick. Then she can stay home and be the franchise player to build around. Big 3 against men is a farce.

  6. vicious… im here for it and I agree 100% dudes are making 200k at most now in that league, paying her 5 mil over what ever span is gonna turn all then guys into Dennis Rodman. Shes gonna have to earn that money the hard way, welcome back to 80s style of hard ball for her.

  7. I grow up on women’s basketball from Baskin Louisiana with the legendary “Tiny” Tarbutton and On to Louisiana Tech were I watched Kim Mulkey among other Lady Techsters. I’ve enjoyed watching girls play against girls
    But women playing against men, not the bloodbath I want to see😅

  8. I like what cube is doing he like most people can see how garbage the nva has become and trying to de monopolize i qould love to see a new league other than entitled nba players but i dont know if its goung to work

  9. Laugh out loud seriously Jason you’re making me laugh out loud you sound like a communist. You are the new sports communist.

  10. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. I’ll never watch it. I think you’re just playing devils advocate.

  11. Ice Cube is making a business decision and is trying to catch lighting in a bottle. those who are upset are not seeing the windfall that the BIG 3 could have in the first few games in television money that the BIG 3 will generate.

  12. Ice 🧊 isn’t dumb

    Clark should take that offer- she won’t be successful in the WNBA- the media and the Alphabet mafia will guarantee that

    Take the money- get the endorsements, then play in Europe after that – that makes sense

  13. I was 20 yrs old and no one wanted to guard this college women's player hard on a pick up game. Thirty years later I'm still joked on when I went "Michael Cooper/Bruce Bowen". She complained to her boyfriend, and her boyfriend responded, "well, be physical right back".

  14. I don't like Jason's idea of every team having a female player in at all times. I've seen Clark play a little and she could probably hold her own with her shooting/skill.. but how many else could. Angel Reese if they got her too ? Maybe Candace Parker or Griner ? There's only so many, and those are still some big, physical boys that league.

  15. Royce White acknowledged! lol
    Let’s rekindle the flame. As time has past definitely respect Fearless gave Royce a platform for his talent and his media platform is doing well from Jason providing an opportunity

  16. I love the Kimster but he’s wrong on this one…Nancy Lieberman is one of the top coaches in the BIG3 …and it’s a half court game and the male players will love the exposure for better salaries throughout the league …and her followers and fans will love the fact she shunned the degenerate WNBA…I said it was a brilliamt move by Ice Cube when I first saw it and I haven’t had any thoughts to shift my opinion …and I was already a summertime fan of the BIG3…she needs to take the money and have fun with it…it’s a fun league …I mean Julius Erving is a coach…that’s fun…a baby ABA and jobs for athletes who are on the cusp…I love the BIG3.

  17. Nice gesture ice cube but like whitlock guest said this isn't P.E. or INTRAMURALS stop it 💙

  18. The worst thing for women’s basketball isn’t 1 superstar woman getting paid. It’s the game as a whole, sucking really bad

  19. I would rather see her get destroyed by old retired NBA guys than her destroy black lesbians who hate her for being better than them

  20. If there was an effort to set up rules for a 3-on-3 team to include women, then it is a genius move by Ice Cube. But, I can't see how those rules would be.

  21. Ice Cube is tripping, he's gonna waste money. I don't care where women play, not watching that trash. The women's game is a guaranteed losing bet, have 20 years of history to prove that

  22. The WNBA has built a culture that has to be changed for mass viewers to watch. Caitlin can’t save the league as one player on a team alone. College players have been drafted then dropped. Unfair!!

  23. thank you Steve Kim for bringing some common sense to this conversation. Whitlock you should be embarrassed. This is exactly why Steve is the fan favorite
