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).

Now, Ice Cube and his business partner Jeff Kwatinetz are calling out Clark’s agents, accusing them of sabotaging her multi-million dollar deal with the Big3 and not fully considering their offer.

In an op-ed for Outkick, Jeff Kwatinetz wrote,

“We have reason to believe these male agents and executives controlling the sport never even shared our trailblazing offer with Caitlin let alone facilitated Caitlin meeting with the BIG3 to discuss the opportunity. From our perspective, these representatives don’t seem to work for an individual client like Caitlin. They seem to work for the NBA mob, as their client list is a who’s who of NBA players.”

He pointed out that Clark will only make $76,535 her rookie year, and less than $100,000 “for each of her first four seasons” with the league. Clark could have made much more had she signed with Big3, Jeff Kwatinetz said.

“Ten million dollars of salary over two years, a percentage of team ownership worth millions, fifty percent of merchandising revenues from her name and likeness, and ownership of a BIG3 documentary with a seven-figure advance. 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,

“The NBA mob will NOT shake us!”

Instead, they’re determined to provide opportunities for “Black, brown and female athletes.”
