Title: Big-3 Basketball
Post by: Surferdad on July 01, 2018, 03:14:53 PM
It’s hot and the coolest place in the house is the basement man-cave.  Kinda good to see these guys stay in shape.

Power is a fun team with BB, Maguette, Birdman, Mobely, Q-Rich, Gomes. Lieberman coaching.

It's fun to reminisce, plus I miss hand-checking in the NBA.

I really want to see something like this in the Olympics with in prime athletes.  I just think it would be awesome and would really help those countries that have a handful of top level basketball players but not enough to form a truly competitive 5 on 5 team.  So just have 2 basketball team sports in the Olympics, but make it so a person could only compete for the 5 on 5 team or the 3 on 3 team in any given competition.  Be fun to see a team of Lebron, KD, and Kawhi competing in that sort of competition.

nice.  I'd rather see it played more like a real game then just to 21, but anything is a start.

Scal in the house!  ;D

Game earlier today, Ron Artest got ejected for punting a basketball three points in.
