OT Big 3 

Post#1 » by denial » Sat Aug 18, 2018 5:57 pm

I watched a game and a half of Big3 last night (had never seen it before).
I counted zero screens.
I realize it's 3v3, so there is more room on the floor for effective hero ball.

So the question is, is this just how Big3 is or was it the games I watched? (Semi finals)
Is Big3 basically a hero ball league by design? Or does it just make sense because there is so much spacing in 3v3?

I thought about this because I saw Amare in a game. And when I think of Amare I think of high pick and roll with Nash.

I've seen more screens in international 3v3 comps but maybe that's because the individual players aren't as good in ISO situations than the ex-NBA players in the Big3 league.

I know I am not as serious of a basketball fan as I think I am when people start talking about international 3v3! You must have that baller Cox package.

I don't live in the States. But all of this is on youtube. Oh and FYI it became an Olympic sport (starting in Tokyo 2020) in 2017

Then we have 40% of our WCF 2010 starting lineup on this team...

This expansion team might be the best though, with likely the best incoming player, also an ex SSOL Sun.

Team SH*T SHOW!

Man those are some CLASSIC throwback names. Gilbert "You show me yours and I'll show you mine" Arenas, Lebron's heir-apparent PJIII, Lamar "Kardashian"-Odom, Royce "Buses only" White and Rick "Baddest Bad Boy of them all" Mahorn

Also that Team Ex-Suns has 3 guys who played for the Suns at one point in their career. Definitely caught my attention. Shame they couldn't get JJ on that team too

That was painful to watch. Maybe that's how 3on3 is but that was 20 minutes bad decisions
