3×3 Basketball

3×3 basketball, also known as three-on-three basketball, is a fast-paced version of traditional basketball played with two teams of three players each. The game is played on half of a standard basketball court, with one hoop. Matches typically consist of 10 minutes or the first team to reach 21 points. Players score by making field goals or free throws, with one-pointers and two-pointers based on distance from the hoop. 3×3 emphasizes skill, teamwork, and strategy, making it popular in various settings, including urban areas and professional leagues. It was officially added to the Olympic program in 2021.
