Trilogy win Big3 inaugural seasons, Rashad McCants named Championship MVP

After an inaugural BIG3 season that featured fierce competition, thrilling action and fantastic finishes, Trilogy emerged as the class of the league by completing an undefeated season to win the inaugural BIG3 Championship. In a back-and-forth, closely-contested matchup featuring the league’s two top teams, Trilogy overcame a first-half deficit to defeat 3-Headed Monsters 51-46. BIG3 star and league No. 1 overall draft pick Rashad McCants earned the first ever BIG3 Championship MVP with a game-high 22 points, including the final five points to clinch the title.

For most of the first half, it appeared as if the electric crowd of 8,249 at MGM Grand Garden Arena and the millions more watching live on FOX would see Trilogy lose for the first time all season. Coached by NBA legend Rick Mahorn and led by captain Kenyon Martin and co-captain Al Harrington, Trilogy stormed back from an 11-point deficit in the first half and then held on against the pesky 3-Headed Monsters to raise the BIG3 Championship Trophy.
