MORE GOLD MEDALS for the US? Well, if you insist.

Will be great to watch and interesting to see how seriously it's taken. Obviously USA will dominate if any all-stars want to bother playing, but if other nations send out their strongest teams it could be reasonably close.

France - Gobert, Batum, Fournier could win
Latvia - Porzingis, Bertans and some other dude
Serbia - Jokic, Dragic, Teodosic
Spain - Rubio, Mirotic and Ibaka running pick and pops all day

I presume though that the best players will play the proper 5 on 5 tournament and not bother with the 3 on 3.

Unless the 3 on 3 is held in a compressed schedule over two days and Lebron is like "that sounds fun, I'll just fly in win another gold medal and then stick around and bang some hotties in the Olympic village for a few days before heading home"

Why in the gently caress would Spain pick Ibaka or Mirotic over Marc.

From my vast 3 on 3 experience (playing a lot of 2k online), he wouldn't be mobile enough defensively. Also big men with perimeter shots are loving murder to play against in 3 on 3 - though that said Gasol probably had as good as season shooting threes than either of them so never mind.


It's all academic though because it will be in 2020 so both Marc and Ibaka will be old and broken by then and Mirotic will be a two time all-star on the world champion 76ers and will be a no brainer pick.

A bigger mistake was my including the Slovenian Goran Dragic in the Serbia team...

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.

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.

"Coach Kerr, would any of your Bulls teams stand a chance against this current Warriors squad?"

"Well I think my Bulls team would do well, but probably lose by 15 or 20."

"Really coach? You think the 96 Bulls with Jordan and Pippen lose by that much?"

So like if Brian Wilson joined the Beatles in 1966 after Revolver massively outsold Pet Sounds?

Sounds awesome!
