    They have to do better next time around. How are they going to do this?
    Option 1: Team Farewell- LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephon Curry, Klay Thompson
    Option 2: Nova Knicks- Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo
    Option 3: 13-16 (probably just miss Team USA)- Scottie Barnes, Jalen Williams, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown
    Option 4: Team LA Natives- DeMar DeRozan, LaMelo Ball, Evan Mobley, James Harden

    Also, if they don’t host the 3×3 games at the sites in White Men Can’t Jump, they haven’t learned anything from how Paris is using its city as part of the show. They have to play at Venice Beach and Lafayette Park. Have Marques Johnson on the broadcast.

    Great idea as always BTPH. They can use Lakers arena and the new Clippers arena for the regular basketball tournament.

    In 3×3 what would the best mix of players positionally to put in a 3 man team. I’d say you’d need two great shooter who were good defenders and possibly an athletic big man.

    3×3 is outdoor. In Paris, it is being played at Place de la Concorde.

    I would have originally thought that would be how to assemble a team, but the good teams are the ones with versatile players who can do a bit of everything.

    I am completely on board with teams full of NBA players being in the 3×3. Isn’t the issue that they need to play in a certain amount of tournaments/qualifiers? Which was the reason the current iteration of the team was formed? If we could get past that, have the best players not playing in the Olympics, would be ideal.
