Adam Silver and the NBA are currently feuding with Ice Cube and his league, the Big 3. Although Silver doesn't want any partnership between the two leagues, Ice Cube fires a warning on Twitter that this could lead to the NBA losing top talent.
“Adam Silver really needs to worry about the new ABA that’s coming. These foreign investors will purge the NBA of top talent like LIV GOLF did to the PGA.”
Ice Cube fired off this Tweet in response to reports that NBA owners want to invest in the Big 3 but Adam Silver is not allowing it. The feud between the two leagues has been public, and despite the smaller size, Ice Cube and the Big 3 are clearly not afraid to stand their ground.
