Bonzi Wells had a 10-year career in the NBA that took him all over the league and allowed him to play with a lot of different teammates. In a conversation on the newest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, he relates how some of those old teammates got him involved with Ice Cube’s 3-on-3 league The BIG3. The BIG3 is beginning it’s second season on Friday, June 22 and Bonzi has high hopes for his team Tri-State and also for his old buddy Ron Artest becoming quite the “character” for the league.

Also covered on this episode:

  • Which new players for Season Two is he most looking forward to going up against?
  • What are his favorite memories from being on the first Grizzlies team to ever make the playoffs?
  • Are there any current NBA players that he thinks play similar to the way he played? Who does he like to watch?
  • Was he cheering for the Warriors or the Cavaliers in the Finals? As a fan of the game, does he have any issue with Kevin Durant choosing to join Golden State?
  • What does he remember of Jermaine O’neal, Qyntel Woods and Zach Randolph from his time in Portland?
