Mitch Hahn returns for another shot at AmeriCup glory, and James Parrott is back after shining in the 2022 FIBA 3×3 Men’s World Cup.

What’s the Deal with 3×3 Basketball?

Think of 3×3 basketball as hoops on steroids. Played on a half-court with a 12-second shot clock, it’s all about speed, precision, and nonstop action. Teams must clear the ball behind the arc after a basket or rebound, and the first to 21 points—or the leader when time expires—takes the win.
