I prefer American high school games, but your community may have other options. We used to have something called Gus Macker 3 on 3 games. It's a great way to study fundamental skills, heart, and health. Just a few players on a quiet court, you get to enjoy it in the open air.

At home, there is a quiet and purple bowl of petunias. They've never heard of Sid Barret, and they grow well regardless of whatever LeBron James is dooing. There are at least twelve petunias, with no rank of starters and backups. Dozens of other basketball players play the game. It's funny how the most expensive players don't win the championship. And yet, the petunias still live on.

I watch alot of high school basketball. I'm a big proponent of 3v3 basketball for developmental reasons. More kids get to play especially if you have a gym with alot of baskets , and play modified games so you can get a lot more reps of whatever skills you want to teach in. For younger kids it also makes the game easier because with only 3 defenders on the court,

3 on 3 always reminds me of old Intellivsion super pro basketball.


I've covered a lot of High School football and basketball in the past in my radio journeys and it is amazing how BAD most of the coaching is.

Not sure if you care, but 3 on 3 basketball almost got added to the 2016 Olympics. (would've been awesome to watch...)

Interesting side note:
FIBA makes men use a women's sized basketball for 3 on 3 games.

One of my favorites..

A 3-on-3 or 1-on-1 tourney would be a great addition to the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Atari bbball looks familiar .. That would be great of 3-on-3 got added to the Olympics, but it will always be a shirts vs skins game for me. Even a 3-0n-3 program in the modern ea would be fun. Or if the programmers would go back to that 7-on-7 football that EA originally was.

I brought the petunias in during the storm, but they're enjoying a cloudy warm day today. I tried to explain free agency to them, but they simply can't grasp the concept.

We don't have to go backwards. If 2K had a 3v3 feature, and Madden reinstated 7v7, it definitely add to the already great gameplay experience.
