The BIG3 league's caliber of superstars may not be on the same plane as the NBA, but the intensity is definitely at the same level. Just ask Corey Maggette, Dahntay Jones, and Cuttino Mobley, who all got into it in the league's championship game on Friday night.
The 22-second clip shared by BIG3's Twitter account features the three aforementioned ex-NBA stars, as well as a few other well-known personalities of the sport.

The intensity was already at an all-time high heading into the much-anticipated championship game between Power and 3's Company. This was the final game of the league's sophomore season, and with so much riding on a single contest, it was bound to get a bit chippy.
3's Company had strong start out of the gates, with the trio of Dahntay Jones, Jason Maxiell, and NBA D-League standout Andre Emmett leading the way. The team took a commanding 5-0 lead to open the ballgame against Power, who had the likes of Corey Maggette, Glen Davis, and Cuttino Mobley.
At one point in the first half, Maggette confronted Jones after the former appeared to be unhappy about the latter's defensive tactics. The two faced off in the middle of the court, and in true BIG3 fashion, no one would back down. This was when tempers flared.
In the clip, Mobley is the most visibly upset and seemed to have a lot to say to Jones and the opposing team. Two-time All-Star Baron Davis is also seen at the latter part of the video, and he too appeared to have some things to say.
In the end, Maggette led Power to the win with 27 big points and six rebounds. Power took home the championship after a tightly-contested 51-43 victory over 3's Company.
