Big 3 News: League Partners With Media Company Endemol for Big 3 Tournament

For their planned three week, quarantined tournament that will take place in May, the Big 3 has teamed up with Endemol, producers of Big Brother, Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover, Wipeout, Fear Factor, and Deal Or No Deal. The news was reported by Chris B. Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

Last week, the Big 3 announced their plans of a tournament to provide fans with sports during this uncertain time in the world with the Coronavirus that has rendered public events unable to go on. The tournament would take place in a quarantined area, with players and officials - who test negative for the virus - staying in a home in Los Angeles. The show will have a reality base, with cameras following the lives of the players and officials, Haynes also states in his article. Also per the article, a basketball court is currently being worked on at the location where the show would take place. As far as who will round out the player field, that is not set in stone yet, but it is likely that top names like Joe Johnson, Amare Stoudamire, Gilbert Arenas, and Zach Randolph would participate. It is mentioned in the article that the tournament could also include female players.

It is not known yet whether CBS, or another network, will air the show, which will be titled "Big Brother: Big 3". As of now, the Big 3 regular season is still set to begin on June 20, from FedEx Forum in Memphis.
