USA Basketball has partnered with Red Bull for a series of 3-on-3 events across the nation to help determine who should represent the U.S. at the Summer Games.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREAs fun as it sounds to put LeBron James, James Harden and Kevin Durant on the USA’s 3-on-3 men’s team and Breanna Stewart, Elena Della Donne and Skylar Diggins-Smith on the women’s team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, that’s probably not going to happen.
USA Basketball will play host to a men’s and women’s national championship this weekend in Las Vegas and then 20 qualifying tournaments will be played under the Red Bull 3X series to help identify the four men and four women who could represent the U.S. at the 2020 Olympics. The first Red Bull event will be in Detroit on June 22.There is no guarantee the U.S. qualifies for one of the eight men’s and women’s spots in the Olympics.
It's a different game with one 10-minute quarter and a 12-second shot clock. Each team has one sub. Baskets are worth one point inside the three-point line, two points beyond the arc. “We want to make athletes aware of this opportunity,” Tooley said. “We sent out material to players and teams to get the word out and let them know this opportunity exists and there’s a pathway to the Olympics.”
“We believe this is here to stay and the traction we have received in the past several months has been phenomenal in terms of interest,” Tooley said.
