Birds don’t suck. They lack the necessary anatomical structures to do so.
Re: Big3 Basketball
What am I looking at here? Will it be 3-on-3? I hope so. Do only 3-pointers count? We already have Creighton.
Re: Big3 Basketball
3-on-3 halfcourt. Hand checking allowed. 4-point circles. Game to 60. I heard one interview where it sounded like you get to take shooting-foul free throws from wherever the foul occurred but I can't find that anywhere in their written rules.

Re: Big3 Basketball
I enjoy competitive basektball. Fat guys playing lazy 3 on 3 could be a bad deal. I saw the Globe Trotters a few years ago. It was sad. I worry that the effort put forward most games will be of this level.
Think I would rather see the Tournament (that $2 Million winner takes all event) over this.

Re: Big3 Basketball
I've watched 3 minutes of this, which makes me as much of an expert as anyone. Looks like old dudes playing basketball, with a surprising number of fouls called. Why on earth are they not playing these games outdoors?
Re: Big3 Basketball
If you do this right, it's beach volleyball. If you do it wrong, it's Reggie Evans vs. Rashad McCants in half of an NBA arena. Come on man, playing these games outside was the easiest marketing decision possible!

Re: Big3 Basketball
Hearing Kenyon Martin got injured (among others) made me instantly think, "Just like his NBA career."

Re: Big3 Basketball
So 3x3 hoops is now an Olympic sport. Caught some highlights from the European Qualification (Olympic Channel). Interesting how quickly the team that just got scored against tries to put the ball back in play.
Also Team USA...

Robbie Hummel, Canyon Barry (yes, Rick's final son), and two guys who played at Ivies (Damon Huffman and Kareem Maddox).

Who better to represent the USA in basketball than three pasty-looking white guys.

Re: Big3 Basketball
One of whom shoots free throws underhanded
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Big3 Basketball
What if our best athletes played 3-on-3 basketball?

Re: Big3 Basketball
This is a valid point. He should still be able to get it up there at age 75 by shooting underhand.

Sucked in by the Ringer Headline---Can Team USA Field a Team of Randos and Still Win 3x3 Basketball Gold at the Olympics?

Oh and it is a work team
A G-Leaguer, a college basketball commentator, a health care entrepreneur, and a podcast producer (produces Gimlet's the Pitch) are officially the men’s three-on-three basketball champions of the world.
