Triplets.
The Triplets, the first team announced in the 2019 BIG3 expansion, are led by two household basketball names. Lisa Leslie, a Naismith Hall of Famer, 2x WNBA Champion, 3x WNBA MVP and 4x Olympic Gold Medalist, will join Nancy Lieberman as the only other women’s coach in professional men’s sports. Joe Johnson, seven-time NBA All-Star, joins the Triplets as the captain and is just a few years removed from playing an instrumental role for the Utah Jazz.
Long-time NBA players Jannero Pargo and Al Jefferson will enter as co-captains. Chris Johnson, Alan Anderson and Sergerio Gipson will round out the depth of the team.

Ball Hogs.
After just three wins combined in the first two seasons, the Ball Hogs are looking to right the ship in 2019 with an infusement of new talent to replace the departure of former 2018 BIG3 number one overall selection Andre Owens. The team returns captain Brian Scalarbine and co-captains DeShawn Stevenson, 2018 league leader in three-pointers made, and Josh Childress.
