Former Florida A&M guard Nasir Core scored 29 points in one half on July 6, the most in BIG3 history. Playing for the Detroit Amps against the Dallas Power at Amerant Bank Arena, he finished with 31 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals, per the league's box score. The half included five 3-pointers and the first 4-point shot of the 2026 season. The Amps lost 51-48.
Core, a two-time FAMU graduate, entered the BIG3 in 2024 after building a following on the one-on-one circuit and Ball Is Life network. He won Rookie of the Year and 4th Man of the Year that season, then made the All-Star team in 2025. The Amps coaching staff called him "a big guard who thrives in isolation ball" in a post-game release. He plays under Hall of Famer George Gervin.
Core has over 140,000 Instagram followers and has beaten former NBA players including Gerald Green in one-on-one matchups, according to Ball Is Life network profiles. He returns to the Ball Is Life YouTube circuit on July 10 to face former NBA guard Archie Goodwin at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
