Most people thought the Big3 wouldn’t last. Brian Sozzi sits down with Ice Cube to discuss the decade-long journey of building a professional basketball league, why investors initially said no, and why he now wants everyday fans—not just wealthy insiders—to participate in its future.

The conversation explores entrepreneurship, rejection, sports ownership, creativity, and the lessons Ice Cube learned while turning an unlikely idea into a thriving business.
