They know that nobody is gonna be able to match our depth so they're trying to take players off the court.

They act like two players standing on the wing and bron basically playing 1 on 1 with anybody else in the world not gonna get us another gold.

Its such an outlandish idea, cant believe its gotten this far.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

If you enjoy the sport of basketball, I don't see why'd you have a problem with this.

Would be great...especially in the early years...what would be the ideal team make up in terms of skillset?

Would NBA players even want to play in this AND the regular games?

What makes it outlandish?

What makes it outlandish?

Because only 1 country really benefits from it the country thats already the best at Basketball and who are 5-10-15 years ahead of everyone else

You could say that about 5on5. And then ask yourself, what's the point in playing international basketball at all.

Basketball is played around the world and 3-on-3 is a common game in the sport.

It's not about "benefiting" a country, it's about seeing competition.

Well International Ball been goin on long before you was born and wasnt taken seriously till the 90's by America, but since 2000 you have more International players in the NBA and every now and then Team America fukks up.

Other countries cant even beat America in u17 tournaments what makes you think they gunna beat the US in 3 v 3's

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Just for clarification: They're not trying to replace the current format with 3-on-3, they're trying to add it.

"Like volleyball has beach volleyball, swimming has synchronized swimming, we want three-on-three to be part of it," FIBA Secretary-general Patrick Baumann told USA Today.

 

[RicanHavok]

OT: Anybody still fukk with this game?

 

[GzUp]

i kinda dont like it.

this might give a chance at a other country winning... easier chance at them getting lucky.

i cant face another country beating us at basketball in anyway shape or form.
