  • 3 v 3 basketball at 2016 Olympics?



    As a basketball fan I will take more basketball at the Olympics in any form. What would your country's 3 v 3 team be?

    Lebron/Durant/Howard

    What would be cool is if they allowed a country to have multiple teams, like they do beach volleyball.

      Weren't the sports for 2016 already decided a few years ago? They added rugby sevens and golf.

      TBH I don't think the Olympics is a great venue for this, the main advantage of the format is that it allows for relatively short tournament having a lot of participants, opening up the field to countries that never qualify for tournaments in regular basketball, but I doubt the IOC would let them have a very large field.

        Worst. Idea. Ever.

        You actually think this is cool but the Olympics are more prestigous than some streetball tourny. I will be shocked if they go through with this. Next thing you know it we'll have a dunk contest.

          So they can add golf and BMX but they take out baseball? How does that make any sense?

          Not a fan of 3 on 3 in the Olympics. There's no need for it in a tournament like the Olympics. It'd be more exciting but it just doesn't seem right to put it in the Olympics.

            Great idea, but ban the pros from competing.
            47-70
            76-58

              Baseball wasn't added because the government over here didn't want to build the facilities to host baseball! Wait till Japan in 2020 is it? Baseball will be there then!

                I agree. If you let pros play, it would be a big mess. But there is a catch, where is the line between amateurs and proffesionals

                    But there is thin line between professionalism and semi-professionalism, at least in my country. There is first national league, second and so on...
