After shooting around and spending some time at the BIG3 regular season finale at Staples Center in his native Los Angeles, Gilbert Arenas has hopes of joining the three-on-three formatted league next season.
The bucket-getting 35-year-old showed an array of deep jumpers early in the day while some players talked to the media and expressed hopefulness of being a part of Ice Cube's league, but has even heftier goals for the business end of the deal.
“I'm not joining the BIG3, I'm thinking about joining the BIG3… I'm a business man,” Arenas told TMZ Sports. “We're talking about Life Recovery and possibly partnering up with [the BIG3].”
Arenas is planning to have a business meeting with BIG3 representatives about Life Recovery potentially being the official drink of the league. While he is considering returning to the floor regardless of their business end of talks, he said negotiations are more on the business side for now.
“Agent Zero” is a three-time All-Star who hasn't played in the NBA since 2012. The 6-foot-4 point guard last played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association during the 2012-13 season.
The BIG3 has plenty of NBA notables, but some who have done most of their basketball careers overseas and have sniffed the NBA for a few years like Rashad McCants, who has proved to be one of the best talents in the league.
The three-on-three league wrapped up its regular season with Sunday's finale at Staples Center. The first round of the postseason will tip off next Sunday in Seattle before the live championship game, which will take place Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.
