AMG Sports Media caught Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz of Onyx courtside at TD Garden in Boston, watching players warm up and tuning into the vibe before their halftime performance at Big3. Their presence added a cultural layer to the evening — one that bridged the world of basketball with the legacy of 90s hip-hop.
Fredro Starr’s history underscores their impact: Onyx’s breakout came with “Slam”, a track that became a defining anthem in the mid-1990s. Over the years, Fredro has also released solo work such as the 2025 album 100 Mad, continuing to produce music deeply rooted in the group’s original grit. Their appearance at Big3’s halftime slot nods to how the league is leaning into culture alongside sport.
The players walked the floor, the beat in the arena transitioned to anticipation, and Onyx sat ready, connecting generations on court and mic. It’s the kind of synergy that the Big3 is increasingly promoting: legacy, intensity, identity.
