What's On Tonight (Saturday): 3 men and a basketball

Big3 Basketball

Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 14!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Big3 on Vice TV (Vice, 6:30 p.m.). The Ice Cube-founded basketball league is 3-on-3 half-court basketball that has rules that differ from FIBA. The teams are mostly retired NBA and international players. I don't know much else. Basketball is boring.

Elsewhere, Bonnaroo is boppin', Brian Tyree Henry picks Two, new Dragon Ball hits Toonami, and Lifetime has secrets in the Attic.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
