"3 on 3 Basketball Coming to Olympics in 2020: Who Ya Got?"


  

          

fuck yea! very happy to see this news. i always prefer playing 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 halfcourt so I'm excited to see what the players will do with all that space. still a dream of mine to see the olympics in Tokyo.

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/246198/3-On-3-Basketball-Added-To-2020-Olympics

The IOC has added 3-on-3 basketball to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic program.

There will be 64 participants with eight teams for men and women.

FIBA President Horacio Muratore said: “The intensity and skill level of the 3x3 Game is such that there are no traditional 3x3 powerhouses and new countries have emerged since the first YOG experience in 2010. This was our main objective back in 2007. The decision provides FIBA with a renewed, strong incentive to continue in this direction and grow the game of basketball by developing new young skilled basketball talents in both genders across the globe from small islands to large countries in every continent.”



do you think the elite players are gonna want to play? I'd choose something like:

LeBron
Durant
Curry

Westbrook
Kawhi
AD

give the little nihonjin kids what they want: LeBron dunking over Yuki Togashi.

if there are no NBA players, I hope this at least inspires a 3v3 or 1v1 competition in the All Star Weekend

There's a ton of talented basketball players in the world
whose games didn't translate to the NBA for technical reasons
but who have tons of talent and could provide tons of competitive
fun in a 3 on 3 setting
