2024 Olympics: Team USA Struggles in 3x3 Basketball Despite NBA and WNBA Talent

Last edited Wed Jul 31, 2024, 12:58 PM - Edit history (1)

Team USA's men's and women's 3x3 basketball teams suffered opening losses at the 2024 Paris Olympics, raising questions about their preparation and performance. The women's team lost 17-13 to Germany, while the men faced a 22-14 defeat against Serbia. Both teams are relatively inexperienced in the 3x3 format, which differs significantly from traditional 5x5 basketball played in the NBA and WNBA. Concerns about team chemistry and roster composition come into play, with most players lacking sufficient recent competition experience. Despite these setbacks, each team remains hopeful about their chances as the tournament progresses.

The other countries must have figured out the appropriate way to rebound such attempts.
