Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is hoping to land a contract with Ice Cube's three-on-three basketball league.

Owens pleaded with the BIG3 co-founder during a video call with TMZ Sports.

"My football prowess, that speaks for itself, but I think if you ask around the BIG3 league and even outside of that, the guys know I can hoop," the 43-year-old Owens said. "I like what you guys are doing, man, let me come out there, display some of my skills and let me play against some of the best."

Owens, who ranks second all time in NFL receiving yards, revealed in an interview with Josh Peter of USA TODAY Sports last month that he regrets not pursuing a career in professional basketball.

"If I had to choose between football and basketball, I'm taking that roundball all day," Owens said. "I probably would have had a longer career in basketball than I did in football. People don't know that, but yes."
