Ice Cube's Big3 Partner Accuses Caitlin Clark's Agents Of Undermining Her Multi-Million Dollar Deal w/ Big3, Claims They Seemingly Work 'For The NBA Mob'

Ice Cube's business partner is airing their grievances with Caitlin Clark's people. The former star college athlete was a first-round draft pick for the Indiana Fever this month. Before she went pro, Ice Cube offered Caitlin Clark a $5 million deal to play for his Big3 league (Caitlin Clark later responded and said she found out about the offer with the rest of the world).

In total, we're talking fifteen million dollars or more to merely play a ten-game season. While still allowing her to play in the WNBA. The absolute best of both worlds!"

He added that despite the setback,
