Like basketball but with four fewer players on the court at any one time.
The sport s profile was elevated by Ice Cube s Big 3 tournament back in 2017, which featured a bevy of ex-NBA stars.
With obvious roots in pick-up basketball, 3x3 ball is played on a half-court and
the winner is the first team to 21 or the team leading after 10 minutes.
The scoring system is also similar to casual basketball, with the traditional three-point line serving as a two-point line and every bucket scored from inside the line worth just one point.
When is it? 3x3 basketball will be the first of all the brand new sports to show out at this year s Olympics, with the pool rounds starting on Saturday, July 24. The medal games are on Wednesday, July 28.
