Gary Payton and Jamal Crawford

In a heated Big 3 league matchup, former NBA stars Gary Payton and Jordan Crawford engaged in a dramatic confrontation that almost escalated into a physical altercation. The incident began as Payton, coaching the Bivouac, started trash-talking Crawford, who was playing for the Enemies. Tensions peaked when Crawford, after enduring Payton's taunts, shoved him, prompting players from both teams to intervene. Despite the drama, Crawford had an impressive game, scoring 20 points and leading the Enemies to a 50-46 victory, marking Bivouac's first loss of the season. The incident highlighted the fierce competitiveness that both players continue to embody, even in retirement. The Big 3 league, known for its spirited rivalries, was once again the stage for high-intensity basketball.
