FIBA 3 x 3 tournament rules: http://www.fiba.com/documents/2016/01/29/3x3%20Rules%20of%20the%20game%202016%20table.pdf

3 players + 1 sub (can sub at any deadball)
Half court
Score 1s and 2s
First to 21 or whoever is leading after 10 minutes
12 second shot clock
Take it out beyond the arc on a rebound
Defence gets ball on made basket

1s and 2s mean Kyrie and Curry would absolutely kill in this.

I'm intrigued.

Are there subs in this? Jingles off the bench.

I think you mean kyrie, delly, bogut with Patty off the bench

Kyrie has already played for Team USA tho, he knows where his bread is buttered (on the RED WHITE AND BLUE side)

Team Australia could also field Ben Simmons and Thon Maker

Question: when was the last time the best player in the league was foreign? Dirk? I know he won MVP in 06-07 but that was a close year. Before that is had to be Hakeem.

Soon it will be Giannis

(the year Dirk won MVP was the consecutive third year in a row that a Foreigner won MVP, but everyone agrees it was utter bullshit. Aside from that yeah it was Hakeem in the missing Jordan years)

Do we count Steve Nash? Or is it the consensus that he didn't deserve his MVPs?

Non-US countries should send there best players to the 3 on 3 team if players can only play on 1 team, it would give them a chance to win a gold, though US still probably has enough talent if you are looking at the first 4 guys left off the regular team.

I saw Lebrons second game ever cuz I got cheap Suns tickets (ASU student.) Lebron dunked over Shawn Marion at one point and Steve Nash looked scared at what he just saw. That's my best memory of Steve Nash besides all of the incredible basketball I got to watch him play.

Boston homerism put to the side, the Heat does not seem like the greatest place for a player who would only leave his team to try to get to the finals

He signs with Miami we have a Big 4 like the Warriors in Dragic, Whiteside, Hayward and Waiters (please don't leave!).

Dray's not really a very good shooter. Seems like it's very easy to ISO so the way to go is to get shooters who can break guys down. Iverson was born too early, he'd just go to the rim every single possession. Ideal US team (if they weren't playing full team) would be like, Durant/Kyrie/Melo maybe? You don't need to be able to run an offense or get out on the break.

Durant | LeBron | Curry would be stupid good. Yeah, James isn't the shooter of some other people, but his size and ability to get to the rim from anywhere are still highly valuable in scoring and rebounding.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Durant/Kawhi/Curry is the best possible team I think if you're playing 1s and 2s.

Kawhi is a better and more consistent shooter than Lebron and Lebron's biggest advantage of court vision and passing don't really matter in 3 on 3 as much.

Curry has weak handles and relies on screens and a qusick release. Imagine the Lebron double dribble possession on loop but eventually it starts getting called

things can evolve to become smaller, dumber, less powerful. It is a process of generational change which makes no assurances of "improvement"

The myth of progress in politics bleeds into ideological understandings of science. Progressive evolution is a naturalization of technocratic politics.

Kawhi is a better and more consistent shooter than Lebron and Lebron's biggest advantage of court vision and passing don't really matter in 3 on 3 as much.

It also matters that he's one of the strongest to-the-rim-getters in basketball history and a superior defender in every way. Durant/LeBron/Kawhi is a way stronger team

melo even kinda sucks at getting to the rim and 1v1 shooting lately. He's lost a bunch of hop last few seasons
