Ice Cube recently sat down with Complex for an interview, where he addressed the possibility of Carmelo Anthony playing in his BIG3 league. 

Cube made it clear that it's Carmelo's choice on whether he joins the team, and he added that he understands why Carmelo may think that there's a stigma attached to the league. He explained, "If he want to ball out at this level, then yeah. But if he think it's a stigma behind it, you know what I'm saying like, 'I'm playing in the BIG3, I'm done.' If he thinks that, then he probably won't. And it's not a stigma. BIG3 ain't the end. It's the beginning. It's prolonging. The end is when the NBA said bye. You can have a whole another career in the BIG3 that might even be longer than your NBA career." 

Cube added, "If you keep your body in shape and you want to play, I love it. You can play at that level. Because it is a level. It ain't just a cakewalk. So players got to make up that in they own mind and in they own hearts. I know we got something that's dope, especially for the summer. And why wouldn't you want to get down?"
