Two Hall of Famers and former Los Angeles Lakers faced off as coaches in the Big3 Final.
Two former Los Angeles Lakers and Naismith Hall of Famers went head-to-head in the Big3 Championship game on Aug. 18.
Both teams found themselves in the championship game after disappointing in previous seasons. Bivouac went 0-6 in 2021 and replaced nearly its entire roster for 2022, which now includes Javier Carter, Jaylen Johnson, co-captain Garlon Green, co-captain Corey Brewer, and captain Gerald Green. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough, and Bivouac won the championship, 50-47, meaning they got to take home the Julius Erving Championship Trophy.A large reason for Bivouac's success was captain Gerald Green, who made six three-pointers for a total of 18 points. Green, who was in the NBA for 12 seasons, took home Big3 Finals MVP for his perimeter prowess.
Along with the 2006 NBA Championship, Payton is a nine-time NBA All-Star, member of nine All-NBA Teams, named to nine NBA All-Defensive First Teams, and was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 1996. He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013.
