"As a league that prides ourselves on innovation, it was only right that we took NFTs and made them even more high-class. We aren't just throwing these against the wall for money, but rather making NFT's an exclusive and artistic experience. This collection showcases pivotal league moments for players, coaches, and teams since the BIG3 first began," said Jeff Kwatinetz, co-founder of BIG3. "When fans buy a BIG3 NFT, they are also receiving the opportunity to share that moment on the court with legends of the game and that's what this league is built on."
Known as a ground-breaking league that focuses on innovation, BIG3 implemented notable rule changes following the 2019 season which included lowering the minimum age of athletes from 27 to 22 and opening the league to all nonprofessional and professional athletes that want to try out. The league's fourth season regular games will be played in both Las Vegas and New Orleans. The final two weeks of the championship will be held at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
