On Friday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it will be adding 3-on-3 basketball to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. While the traditional 5-on-5 Olympic basketball tournament will remain intact with its 12 teams, the 3-on-3 tournament will feature an 8 team bracket
The new Olympic sport will, presumably, not feature any NBA talents, but will put on display the wider world of basketball talent: professional 3-on- 3 players. Maybe, though, the international sports world will be able to see some NBA talent from players past, like those playing in Ice Cube’s BIG3 3-on-3 league, which will air on FS1.
