Attending the Big 3 as a member of the press was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with the utmost respect and given free access to virtually every area of the facility. During the games, I had the privilege of sitting on the floor with photographers, allowing me to report the action up close and personal.

One of the highlights of the event was meeting some legendary figures in the basketball world. I had the honor of meeting Jim Jackson, widely regarded as the greatest basketball player to come out of Toledo. Additionally, I met Clyde “The Glide” Drexler, an NBA Hall of Famer whose presence was awe-inspiring. Another memorable encounter was with Skylar Blatt, a Cincinnati rap legend known for her hit single “Wake Up” with Chris Brown.

The most anticipated game of the day was the matchup between the Enemies and Bivouac. The Enemies entered the game undefeated, and their head coach, Nick Young, confidently stated that he believed his 3v3 team deserved a spot in the Olympics. The game lived up to the hype, showcasing intense competition and heated one-on-one battles. Gary Payton’s fiery exchanges with players added to the excitement, and the game concluded with Corey Brewer making a clutch layup, leading Bivouac to a 50-46 victory and handing the Enemies their first loss of the season.

The atmosphere was electric, and the level of play was exceptional. For anyone who loves basketball and wants to see players competing at the highest level, I wholeheartedly recommend attending the Big 3. It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.
