USA 3v3 basketball team eliminated

pretty embarrassing result considering most of the athletes in this competition are barely G League level. how could the USA not field a decent team?


NBA players can't compete in it. The U.S. literally sent a few nobodies.

Most good players wouldn't qualify for 3v3 because you need a certain amount of 3v3 tourny experience prior to the Olympics. NBA and G-League players aren't playing in that shit lol

Even former retired NBA players should still be up to getting a medal don’t you think?

You would think so.

I see, then 3v3 is for the try hards who grind

Most of the pros don’t have time for all that to qualify

Maybe one day, but for now Jimmer Fredette is all we got.

He is a beast in 3v3 though. #1 3v3 player in the world. He got hurt though.
