I don't know how I missed up until a few days ago that 3-on-3 basketball is an Olympic sport. I love 3-on-3, but it's stupid that it is a sport. It's just as stupid that the U.S. uses a bunch of bums on their squad. Canyon Barry, Rick's 30 year old son, is on the team. He played at College of Charleston for three years and Florida for one year. Just like his dad, he shoots his free throws underhanded which should automatically disqualify him from representing the country. Kareem Maddox is on the team. 34 years old, played at Princeton, played overseas (most recent was seven years ago), and then was a podcast producer. Dylan Travis played D2 basketball and was a high school gym teacher before being asked to play. Jimmer Fredette is the biggest name, but he hasn't even played professionally in five years and is 35.
The rules are wonky. Alternating possessions instead of make-it, take-it. After a score, the defense can rip the ball out of the net and start possession once they get the ball passed the arc. No checking, whistle, etc. Games are timed instead of to a certain score.
The U.S. team was so bad that it didn't even qualify for the 2020 games.
Between this 3-on-3 shit and handball in the Olympics, I think I can recruit some people and beat both of the U.S. teams.
