I mean, they're just talking about it at this point. But it's interesting. Would the US still dominate?

Hypothetically, could a LeBron-Kobe-Howard be as dominant over a Gasol-Gasol-Rubio?

I think taking the 3 top players from each country would even out the playing field somewhat. Depth becomes a smaller issue.:ld:

So instead of a 12-12 or however much is on the roster, it's going to be 3-3 instead or are they keeping the regular and adding this also?

"Like volleyball has beach volleyball, swimming has synchronized swimming, we want three-on-three to be part of it," Baumann said.

I'd like LOVE to see this.

We get volleyball and beach volleyball, why not 3 on 3...which is how many play basketball anyway.
