At the pinnacle of urban sports worldwide, basketball 3X3 has its roots in street basketballa dynamic and inventive variation from traditional indoor play with a more informal structure. Over the years, this sport has been systematically shaped by the International Basketball Federation FIBA, the governing authority dedicated to fostering basketball's growth. The introduction of events like the FIBA 3X3 World Tour and the French-based FIBA 3X3 Superleague showcase the explosive popularity of this young urban game played in an electrifying atmosphere brought forth by a DJ and their soundtrack.

BASICS OF THE GAME

Basketball 3X3 features two teams, each with three players competing on half of a standard basketball court. Both teams share the same hoop as they attack and def simultaneously. The goal is to accumulate more points than your opponent within a 10-minute duration or reach a total score of 21 first. Unlike traditional basketball, scoring inside the three-point line earns one point while shots taken beyond this area are worth two points.

The essence of basketball 3X3 lies in its rapid gameplay and high-intensity physical demands on players who must exhibit the same agility, skillset, anticipation, and urance as full-court competitors, if not more due to the game's pace.

HISTORICAL IMPACT

Basketball 3X3 was included at the Youth Olympic Games for the first time in Singapore 2010. The sport made a significant impact with large audiences following its debut performances in Nanjing 2014 and Buenos res 2018. The International Olympic Committee IOC recognized this emerging discipline's potential, announcing its addition to the official Olympic program for Tokyo 2020 Olympics. This dynamic, spectacular, urban twist on basketball is poised to captivate the global audience once more during Paris 2024!
