Ice Cube's BIG3 was built mainly on the nostalgic idea of seeing past NBA stars play competitive basketball again. And so far the nascent league has been a hit, attracting hordes of spectators in every city it has been played and being a constant talking point on different social media platforms.

But aside from the basketball action itself, Stephen Jackson and Charles Oakley showed another thing fans have been missing from them since they walked off the NBA: their flaming personalities.

The expletive-laden exchange stemmed from Oakley taking Jackson out of the contest as the former grew tired of seeing the latter argue with a referee following an uncalled foul.

Jackson and Oakley, who plays and coaches for the Killer 3's, were known partly for their fierce demeanor in the NBA and if this clip would be any indication how serious the two are taking the BIG3, it's safe to say that both men still got their competitive fire intact.
