Michael Beasley, the 34-year-old basketball player, who played with LeBron James on two teams, Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers, expressed his frustration with waiting for an opportunity in the NBA, leading him to join the Big3 league. In an interview with the Miami Herald, Beasley stated, “I’m just tired of waiting on the NBA. I want to play basketball.”

The Big3 league offers players like Beasley a chance to continue playing the game they love and stay active in professional competition outside the traditional NBA setting.

However, this isn’t the first instance where Adam Silver’s actions have been criticized.

Adam Silver’s stance against foreign investments in the NBA ownership

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who took the helm after the passing of David Stern. However, it seems that Adam Silver will not allow any cooperation with Jackson’s league. Nor will he allow any “Sovereign wealth funds” to be controlling owners of NBA franchises anytime soon. Weeks after the massive Wizards update, Silver addressed the media, announcing that the Washington Wizards officially have new investors. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) bought minority stakes in the Monumental Sports Group, according to an official statement.

Despite this development, Silver made it clear, during his media address shortly after the Wizards’ announcement, that sovereign wealth funds won’t be allowed as controlling owners of NBA franchises anytime soon. Moreover, his firm stance against any possible collaboration with the Big3 League is a decision that the iconic rapper criticized, and Beasley joined him three weeks later.
