In an Instagram post shared by the new competition, it was described as: “A League featuring men, women and co-ed teams competing from some of the best streetball cities in the US.”
Speaking to CBS Sports, Garnett said: “HoopItUp is the leader in 3×3 and I’m excited to work with the PLN team to create a professional series with STR33T that gives the incredible 3×3 players a major platform to show what they can do to fans across the country.”
This marks the latest in a series of ventures by Garnett, seemingly looking to make sports more accessible.
Among Big Ticket Sports’ existing ventures is Hoop It Up 3X3, which Garnett described as “the world’s biggest three-on-three tournament,” via their website.
The brand also runs Kick It 3V3 Soccer, Let It Fly – World’s Largest 4 on 4 Flag Football Tour, Rock The Box 5 on 5 Lacrosse Tour, and Big Ticket eSports.
Since retiring from the NBA in 2016, Garnett has continued to leave his mark on the game.
Garnett has also worked as a consultant for the Milwaukee Bucks and the LA Clippers.
This all follows an incredible career on the court which lasted over two decades.
Drafted fifth overall in 1995 by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Garnett ultimately spent 14 years in Minneapolis across two stints.
His career also saw him spend six seasons with the Boston Celtics, where he won his sole NBA Championship, and two with the Brooklyn Nets.
All in all, Garnett established himself as an all-time great, being named an All-Star 15 times, an All-Defensive First-teamer nine times, and MVP once.
In 2020, he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
