Portland Trail Blazers legend Clyde Drexler is the new commissioner of the Big3 league.

Drexler coached Team Power last year in the inaugural season of Ice Cube's 3-on-3 league that includes former NBA players and retired basketball stars. Drexler has signed a three-year deal as commissioner, which was announced by the Big3 on Thursday.

Drexler replaces former NBA player Roger Mason Jr., who left following a dispute with the league amid accusations of corruption.

The former NBA star who dazzled fans in Rip City with the Blazers during his 12-year career in Portland, also won a gold medal for Team USA and ranks among the 50 greatest NBA players in the history of the game.

Drexler was impressed by the level of play in the league's first season, saying it "far exceeded" his expectations.
