Basketball fans, step into the electrifying world of 3x3 Basketball - a thrilling and dynamic urban sport that bls street basketball's creative spirit with Olympic-level competition. The origins of this fast-paced game can be traced back to outdoor court play; over time, it has evolved under the guidance of the International Basketball Federation FIBA, shaping its unique rules and structures.

In 3x3 Basketball, teams compete on half of a standard basketball court, engaging in a head-to-head match on both s of the same hoop. The game is played until one team reaches 21 points or when time runs out after ten minutes, with the exception that two-point shots are awarded for baskets made beyond the conventional three-point line.

This sport challenges players to showcase not only flexibility and skills akin to their full-court counterparts but also perhaps even more stamina under the fast-paced playstyle that defines it. The introduction of events such as the 3X3 World Tour and Super League in France has underscored its growing popularity worldwide, attracting massive crowds eager for an unforgettable experience.

Here's a brief overview on Olympic history:

• Singapore Youth Olympics 2010

• Nanjing Youth Olympics 2014

• Buenos res Youth Olympics 2018

These events marked the birth of 3X3 Basketball in major international competitions, followed by its inclusion as an official Olympic event at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Games. The debut saw the first-ever Olympic champions crowned under this format, demonstrating that even on a smaller scale, competition remns fierce and captivating.
