Ice Cube reveals why he cannot offer Angel Reese same $5 million Big3 contract Caitlin Clark got

BY ODIGIE OKPATAKU

Ice Cube gunned hard for Caitlin Clark last year, and he wants Angel Reese too. However, the rapper cannot go to a certain extent.

 

Ice Cube’s Big3 basketball league is still going strong these days. They have been trying to branch out by bringing in current WNBA stars, doing so just over a year ago. The California native went big game hunting, trying to snag phenom Caitlin Clark before heading to The W.

 

If you remember, Cube was more than ready and willing to give her $5 million. “We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the [NCAA] championship. But I won’t deny what’s already out there: BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3,” he said on X at the time.

 

The Indiana Fever guard did turn it down, despite it being reported that there would hardly be any scheduling conflicts. Maybe one day she will come back around.

 

However, it seems like Angel Reese could be next in line for a Big3 offer. Ice Cube was interviewed recently in an airport about the Chicago Sky forward partially. He was asked if she would draw similar interest, given that she is a marketable athlete.

After all, she has her own podcast, has modeled for fashion brands, and etc. Unfortunately, despite Reese being “a great player,” Cube wouldn’t be able to unload that same $5 million to her.
