If the opening night of Unrivaled provides any indication of what's to come, basketball fans can anticipate a very fun eight weeks to come.
The game is fast and open
In the months, weeks and days leading up to the 3x3 women's basketball league's tipoff, players talked about how fast the game would be. That was not just hype.
The style of play is very fast on the 72-foot court and fewer players on the court allowing for more space. One-on-one play and ballhandling skills are rewarded. But there is also plenty of room for cutting to the basket and screening for open 3-pointers.
