USA was 2nd in the world, mostly because of Jimmer (No1 in the world), but dude got injured early in the second game. Without him and no sub the rest of the tournament, USA didnt have a chance.
You forgot to mention that 1. jimmer fredette got injured in the first paris olympics game. And sat out for all remaining 7 games. Which forced other 3 players to play without substitution which is a key for 3x3, Where 1 player always substitute after every dead ball. 2. And also this current team won world cup last year, so they are not bum but yes always could get better. 3. Also 3x3 ball is size 6 with size 7 weight for mens. So NBA players will need an adjustment. 4. The foul and physicality rules are much different from 5x5. 3x3 is basically playing with prison rule compared to NBA rules.
It didn’t fit the narrative of the video. And yes he absolutely didn’t mention we only had three players and no substitute. Berry played well scoring 15 points in a game of 21.
It's impossible to win when you are missing one player. 3x3 is very fast, dynamic and physical. Plus teams don't have any time to rest before the next game
Three things you missed out on covering in this video. 1.) team USA is a pro team called team Miami, they are actually pretty solid team majority of tournaments and won the World Cup last year so in theory they should’ve ran it back. 2.) since March the team has been dealing with injuries and have been playing with a reverse for the past 5 months before Maddox came back so they weren’t ready from the start. 3.) the only way to play 3x3 in America(and this goes for every hooper.) is by going through Kevin garnet’s hoop it up, they are supposed to have local tournaments across the nation to get better players a chance to rank and qualify but they have been canceling locations left and right it’s impossible to play unless it’s a invitation only. There’s supposed to be a pro 3x3 league but that’s been cancelled as well. So AM though I agree that some nba players would help but this game is more physical you need goons like draymond, Greyson and a Dillon type of players to get medals
the way he is talking is leaning to "save a spot for USMNT"! even in Europe most of the best players dont really want to go play 3x3 on the street while they have their season going on Most of the guys that qualify for the OG have been pretty solid all year
@@StephTerry-c2y it’s different from big three there’s more there’s no time limit in the big three so shot selections mostly consist of iso match ups 3x3 forces you to be quick and accurate with your shots.

I'm disappointed that you didn't include that Jimmer got hurt in pool play!!! His knee is literally torn. And it was in there second game. So don't just be a hater man
Jim Thorpe is insane if you'd know his story. At one point, he was arguably among the best football players, track runners, baseball players, fencers, lacrosse players, and basketball players. He also was the NFL's first president. The King of Sweden was right about him too. It used to be common to refer to Thorpe in the same way we refer to a Swiss army knife. He eventually got his medals back in 2022... 70 years after he died
Awful video. No nba player could play in the olympics even if nba would let them. You have to play all year long and collect ranking points. The team has to have 2 players in top 10 and 2 players in top 50 in its own country points wise. Team usa was one of the favorites to win in the olympics but they were bad because Jimmer got hurt in the second game and didn't even play the other 5 games. 3x3 basketball is more physical and more uptempo so that's why they sub each other at every whistle. Usually the tournaments lasts two days. So imagine playing a whole week with every game on the line without your best player and without substitutions. Money wise, most of the european players play in the 2nd league of their country and they go to 3x3 tournament quest because the prize money is bigger than their salaries. I believe that would not apply to the states and for example ice cube's league. I believe those guys earn not a bad amount of money. And for the whole 3x3 basketball itself, everybody has their own opinion about it. Whether you like it or not, it allows other players (that are not that good to be 1st league players) to have a good career and represent their countries on the world stage. By the way, Dylan Travis is not a euroleague player and never was. Just try to do more effort on your videos and takes because lately you're on a little downhill compared from a year ago or so when i started watching you.
And for example, my country Lithuania got third place, even though the have 0 players in our first country league, THEY ARE ALL FROM SECOND LITHUANIA LEAGUE. but they won third place, because they played from the HEART, TOGETHER, AS A TEAM! That can not be an EXCUSE that america had a bad team. Thats a huge shame to talk that america had a bad team. Every country had a much worse team than their 5x5 team.
Thanks for covering the Big 3 drama. A lot of good stuff on Jimmer, but you really need to mention his early injury and exit at the 2024 Olympics to paint a correct picture.
You could literally find the 3 best guys in prisons across the east coast and they would take home at least silver I was actually in jail with a guy that was minor league baseball player You would be surprised at the kind of talent you would see in those prison basketball games 😂 I barely got on the court and I started PG all 4 years in HS Dudes were dunking on people and everything
0:17 how in the hell are we the second worst country in 3x3 basketball when you have to qualify to make it to the Olympics in the first place? Now if you say we’re the second worst out of the 8 teams then that’s different. How many other countries were trying to qualify to be in the Olympics?
We got 2nd to the undefeated Serbia squad last year by 2 points in the last FIBA 3x3 World Cup with this team. We were basically playing all these teams 4 on 3 because one of our players got injured so we couldn't sub him in.
USA was ranked 2nd in the world, but Jimmer who was No1 in the world got injured the second game in so it was 4v3 for the rest of the games and Jimmer was the main reason they got to 2nd in the world
Is everybody forgetting the rules difference?? FIBA 3x3 is so boring to watch, although in a much faster pace. Possession for the team who gets scored on and 12 secs to attack??? Nobody plays like that, and without pause when a basket is made. With those rules, I see ex-NBA stars doing even worse than the current team.
How you guys not understand this! You need to play in the FIBA 3x3 event or 3x3 world tour to gain ranking point to be eligible to compete in the Olympics. Fredette competed in event so he earned ranking points. If the US has so many good basketball players why aren't they calling up each other to compete as a four a FIBA events. They just aren't. If American ballers cared they would be playing in those FIBA events earning points for their team and themselves. They don't put in the effort to be the best, So you don't get the best results. Fredette wanted to compete in the Olympics so he put in the effort to compete in events to earn his ranking. Can we say anything about the effort from your retired ballers! Did your BIG 3 players compete in FIBA events! Did you put in any effort? It seems like the other countries did!
Buddy most of these guys played in the NBA for a good 10-20 years I understand they dont want to go through the qualifiers stage when they already lost a bunch of time playing as pros for example kids growing into men without them being there
Also FIBA only applied that BS “you need to have 3x3 playing experience to participate in the Olympics” because they knew if we could call up whoever we want we would just dominate this event like the 5X5 regular basketball format lol its so obvious they wanted to give others a chance
If our retired NBA players and the best players from the “Big 3” played in this FIBA garbage they’d win the Gold Medal Game 21-1 Americans, we OWN Basketball
@@rumbL24 Hopefully they take Ice Cube up on his offer then and their Trash FIBA “Gold Medal” 3x3 team plays the Big 3 Allstars of Rashard Lewis, Carmelo, Joe Johnson and Rasha McCants We all know what would happen, look no further than the 92 Dream Team, the 2008 Redeem Team and the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Olympic teams
you are so wrong on this one. Jimmer was one shot who rimed out away from world championship last year against Serbia. The 3x3 season is during the fiba season like every other league. Players needs to play to qualify. France invested in players two years ago and they gold the silver medals. The Fiba doesn't want 5x5 players to play on 3x3, they want to develop a 3x3 league. That's for the benefit of the fans and the players. Several countries have already a long 3x3 culture (check out Novi Sad). The US has a huge potential in 3x3 but, maybe you got a point right here, the NBA simply doesn't want the 3x3 to be developed in the US as they would be a very entertaining rival.
These old heads dont know what its like to compete at the highest level of FIBA 3X3. Its a disgrace and disrespect to all countries to think that this Big 3 League players will come in and act like its a walk in the park. The transition offence to defence the minimum at ISO plays you have in 12 seconds, this comes to a team game. The Americans ar just sour that they cant dominate at this level. Instead they are making fun of their OWN countrymen, way the go for a nation that is so proud of being all for one! IF they want to compete with their best NBA Retired players or players who need to be in the 3X3 team, they should take the official 'FIBA' route. Which means bring a team together, do the world tours, go to the Qualifying tournaments and then play! To play for money is not what the olympics are, who talks about that? its about your nation, your pride, putting your country on the map!!! Yes i am dutch, and yes i know these guys in person! i know what our nation build for the last 10 years! and yes it is true that in a 5-5 we have quality players but cant hardly compete with the big euro teams in Europe! but that is because our country isnt a basketball country (2 bad). When we talk soccer we are one of the best teams in the World (ranked 7) and then were ranks USA at?? yes all the way at spot (16). And we only have 17 MIL people living here. Ice Cube with his own created league and rules is just "entertainment" and will never get the recognition he hopes to get that just facts. There is a reason why Adam Silver is investigating a crossover between NBA and Euroleague, because the international game is catching up
Good point. I like the Big3 league with retired players, but it's even slower paced than the NBA (which has fast breaks and full court play). Big3 games feel more slow and methodical with more posting and back to the basket play.
Jim Thorpe was originally one of the greatest professional football players, on top of being an Olympian. One of the greatest athletes of all time. I actually didn’t know his name was James Francis Thorpe. In all the football books I’ve read it’s always just Jim. 🤣
i think jimmer was good enough to be a solid player in the nba but his outsized ego and inability to buy into coaching made him blackballed by the league and now those habits are so engrained into him that it’s impossible for him to actually make it in the league.
My uncle was a world champion rower in the 70s and their team even beat the olympic team but werent allowed to compete as olympians themselves because they had sponsors.
I've played a few tournaments and you're absolutley right, there is no breaks when on the floor, its physical as hell and the focus to make a jumper gets harder as the game goes on. it took me a while to really understand how to play that style but its really fun and ultra competetive
3x3 is great fun to play and it is a great training exercise to practise pick and roll, one on one, cutting, etc. But as a spectactor sport? Hell no. I am a huge basketball fan and I played the game myself at all levels, but 3 on 3 simply does not resonate with me. I do understand that US basketball largely ignored it, it is a simply forgetable sport event.
Where is Ice Cube? He needs to put a squad together for 3on3 Olympics. Edit: Adam Silver and his alien looking behind need to let the Big3 win a gold for USA
0:30 because they didn't want to play a lot od faster discipline which is 3x3 basketball. In the country that beat USA and was higher on Olympics ranking (as my country) Poland didn't use a "professional" 3x3 players and instead they chose 2 players who play this for the first time (maybe 1), but they are players who was hungry for success. 3 players are currently players in home league and overseas (Europe ofc) and one of them was professional 5x5 player, but when he plays 3x3 (with big success), he switch discipline and start playing on 3x3. LeBron and the other American players didn't play that discipline and they're not interesting to play.
Because they didn't. Team USA even need not to play qualifications, because they were qualified by their world ranking. On the other hand the Netherlands needs to play qualifications.
it's just the rules lol you be an athlete in the specific discipline (3x3) to play, those who compete all year long can represent their country, seems fair to me
Jimmer Fredette was the highest rated player among all countries in the run-up to this. He was injured in this tournament for the last four games and wasn't playing.
The Big 3 would actually be a good place to look but it would take ice cube committing a team to the 3x3 world tour to get experience and adjust to the speed of the game. I hope he does it but I doubt he will.
I don’t think NBA skills translate to 3 on 3 unless the player dedicates himself to learning the strategies and tactics. There’s lots of switching, screens, double give and gos. The flow and pacing is way different than full court. It’s a very specialized skill.
This was actually the best 3x3 team we've ever had. 1. Jimmer is not the best in the world. Stoichic is from Serbia, but jimmer did get hurt. Probably career ending. 2. 3x3 is actually very hard for American players to adjust to. It's fast, it's physical and it's 10 minutes pretty close to nonstop with no coach. G league teams have tried and failed.
I personally like the Fiba 3x3. They should be in the olympics and should be seperated from 5v5. Just like it is right now. It's a different, faster and more physical, sport with smaller ball and different rule set. I you've never seen 3x3 game, have a go, maybe you'll like it
TERRIBLE VIDEO bro. You didn't do any research at all, so you know nothing about it. On paper USA send out the best roster in the tournament. Other countries were sending players who don't even play in domestic leagues. I could go on and on...
And for example, my country Lithuania got third place, even though the have 0 players in our first country league, THEY ARE ALL FROM SECOND LITHUANIA LEAGUE. but they won third place, because they played from the HEART, TOGETHER, AS A TEAM! That can not be an EXCUSE that america had a bad team. Thats a huge shame to talk that america had a bad team. Every country had a much worse team than their 5x5 team.
tbh man as great as Timmy is hes the best power forward arguable but he doesn't fit 3 on 3 basketball we like to see players like Jamal crawford or kyrie or those big man that can dribble well and hit the 3..😊 if the NBA would assemble the best 3v3 players this generation it would be Kyrie, KD and Chet... 😊
@@jvaq3d999 He is deadly at mid range with his bank shot, he can rebound, and he’s the best defender out of all six of those players. It’s true he’s not known as a three point shooter but he has won entire playoff series from him shooting a clutch three pointer.

i think jimmer was good enough to be a solid player in the nba but his outsized ego and inability to buy into coaching made him blackballed by the league and now those habits are so engrained into him that it’s impossible for him to actually make it in the league.
My uncle was a world champion rower in the 70s and their team even beat the olympic team but werent allowed to compete as olympians themselves because they had sponsors.
Casey, this is why I subscribe!👍🏾
Great video
According to the thumbnail, they get my vote for greatest “rectangular headed men”
Currently nobody cares about 3x3, but if more name players play then it will boost its popularity.
Does anyone remember the Hoop it UP? It was a three on three tournament that was held all over the country, those were some fun times.
Luv ur vids
I didn’t even know this team even existed I was expecting the 2004 TEAM USA team
You missed a lot of countries like… Malaysia - $216K for a good medal in the Olympics. Never won before, but it’s coming sometime this century!
3x3 is legit basketball. only people who thinks this isn't an actual sport is people who havent' played it before.
I've played a few tournaments and you're absolutley right, there is no breaks when on the floor, its physical as hell and the focus to make a jumper gets harder as the game goes on. it took me a while to really understand how to play that style but its really fun and ultra competetive
3x3 is great fun to play and it is a great training exercise to practise pick and roll, one on one, cutting, etc. But as a spectactor sport? Hell no. I am a huge basketball fan and I played the game myself at all levels, but 3 on 3 simply does not resonate with me. I do understand that US basketball largely ignored it, it is a simply forgetable sport event.
You may want to add Philippines, 170k each gold medal for Carlos Yulo (gymnastics) and dude got 2
How does 3 on 3 in the olympics make no sense?😂 it is nothing like any dancing sports 😅😂
I watched a couple of games, and the pace is incredible. I dont see retired guys doing well in these.
You forgot Hong Kong who pays $768k for gold medals too
1:49 Ben Simmons future
Classic
AM Hoops quality is going down day by day, your videos used to be good!
Agreed
37k for USA gold ? How much you want to bet they tax that shit too 😂
Michael Beasley, Isaiah Briscoe and Joe Johnson would dominate the 3x3 worldwide
JJ is too old. 3x3 is fast paced and not really slow
Hong Kong also pays more than half a million for gold. SHouldn't forget that.
Jim Thorpe is a bit more than a “Disney character” bro.
Where is Ice Cube? He needs to put a squad together for 3on3 Olympics. Edit: Adam Silver and his alien looking behind need to let the Big3 win a gold for USA
Wasn’t team USA doing pretty decent until jimmer got injured? He was their best player
0:30 because they didn't want to play a lot od faster discipline which is 3x3 basketball. In the country that beat USA and was higher on Olympics ranking (as my country) Poland didn't use a "professional" 3x3 players and instead they chose 2 players who play this for the first time (maybe 1), but they are players who was hungry for success. 3 players are currently players in home league and overseas (Europe ofc) and one of them was professional 5x5 player, but when he plays 3x3 (with big success), he switch discipline and start playing on 3x3. LeBron and the other American players didn't play that discipline and they're not interesting to play.
3x3 is for the driveway or playground.
Still don’t know why the olympics made it impossible for nba players to join in 3v3🤦♂️
Facts
We know why
Because they didn't. Team USA even need not to play qualifications, because they were qualified by their world ranking. On the other hand the Netherlands needs to play qualifications.
it's just the rules lol you be an athlete in the specific discipline (3x3) to play, those who compete all year long can represent their country, seems fair to me
A.m hoops looks like Tosh.0 😂😂😂
Recently retired or unwanted NBA players would do, like Jeremy Lamb, Dwight Howard, Demarcus Cousins.
I'll put Iso Joe as a starter and cut Jeremy lamb, and then add IT as a 6th man. That would be dope!
@@AlphAriesBoyz666Michael Beasley
Is that really Rick Barrys son?
Brent and Jon were already in the NBA in the 90s when this kid was born lol
Canyon Barry is Rick Barrys son with his second wife. The Barry brothers playing in the 90s/early 00s where sons of his first wife.
The most embarrassing part of this whole debacle was having to watch Canyon Barry's granny shots.
Bruh, you forgot the Philippines 1 gold medal = 200,000.00 USD :D
Dude I really like your videos but aren’t the stories about Jom Thorp and Megane taken from Athletic interest video almost word per word ?? 😂😂
I was wondering why they didn't consider using players from the Big 3. Now I know. NBA doesn't want 3x3 basketball to do well unless they own it.
Jimmer Fredette was the highest rated player among all countries in the run-up to this. He was injured in this tournament for the last four games and wasn't playing.
The Big 3 would actually be a good place to look but it would take ice cube committing a team to the 3x3 world tour to get experience and adjust to the speed of the game. I hope he does it but I doubt he will.
I don’t think NBA skills translate to 3 on 3 unless the player dedicates himself to learning the strategies and tactics. There’s lots of switching, screens, double give and gos. The flow and pacing is way different than full court. It’s a very specialized skill.
Ice Cube offered the winner of the 3x3 to play the winner of the BIG3 but FIBA blocked it
This was actually the best 3x3 team we've ever had. 1. Jimmer is not the best in the world. Stoichic is from Serbia, but jimmer did get hurt. Probably career ending. 2. 3x3 is actually very hard for American players to adjust to. It's fast, it's physical and it's 10 minutes pretty close to nonstop with no coach. G league teams have tried and failed.
I can't believe they sent these players. This is more street ball than team ball. Call the professor and get him to pick the players.
Jim Thorpe after he died got reinstated in the Olympic history books and his metals were returned
You failed to mention how hard the IOC has made it to qualify for 3x3
There’s like 15 qualifiers or something like that
They should send Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton & Derrick White 😂
Exactly, why is 3x3 basketball a sport at the Olympics?? There's already 5x5 (regular basketball), what's the point of having 3x3?
cause why not if volleyball have beach volleyball then why basketball not allow?
Cousins would be a menace in a 3v3 tournament
I personally like the Fiba 3x3. They should be in the olympics and should be seperated from 5v5. Just like it is right now. It's a different, faster and more physical, sport with smaller ball and different rule set. I you've never seen 3x3 game, have a go, maybe you'll like it
The Big 3 should’ve been the pool of players to pick from.
Breaking and Dressage catching strays. Anyways, where's your Olympic medals? 🤔
My guy said Jimmer was rhe Steph before Steph 😂😂😂
there were many athletes competing in different sports at same Olympics. Should be possible that 5v5 players also 3v3 by the rules.
Wouldn't surprise me if the NBA starts a 3 on 3 summer league
Bruh I just learned about this Olympic 3v3 today
TERRIBLE VIDEO bro. You didn't do any research at all, so you know nothing about it. On paper USA send out the best roster in the tournament. Other countries were sending players who don't even play in domestic leagues. I could go on and on...
“Behind China”… while showing us that the U.S. is ranked 7th and China is ranked 8th. 🤣
3:10 They shoud get Mac McClung, Cooper Flagg, Dwight Howard and Bronny James in 3x3.
Imagine we got the professor, bone collector, t jass, or hesi god to play on the 3v3 team
And for example, my country Lithuania got third place, even though the have 0 players in our first country league, THEY ARE ALL FROM SECOND LITHUANIA LEAGUE.
but they won third place, because they played from the HEART, TOGETHER, AS A TEAM! That can not be an EXCUSE that america had a bad team. Thats a huge shame to talk that america had a bad team. Every country had a much worse team than their 5x5 team.
Funny thing about 3x3: they actually play with a women’s sized basketball (~ size 6/28.5inch) with the weight being the same as the men’s normal ball
Where did u read that?
@@japiro14the rules
No more ex-NBA players. Give the chance to other basketball players who never had a chance.
Excellent video 🙏🏽
it is one of the most exciting events just because USA doesnt dominate doesnt mean you should disregard the whole thing
2000’s big three
Kobe Bryant
Shaquille O’Neal
Tim Duncan
2010’s big three
LeBron James
Steph Curry
Kevin Durant
tbh man as great as Timmy is hes the best power forward arguable but he doesn't fit 3 on 3 basketball we like to see players like Jamal crawford or kyrie or those big man that can dribble well and hit the 3..😊 if the NBA would assemble the best 3v3 players this generation it would be Kyrie, KD and Chet... 😊
@@jvaq3d999 He is deadly at mid range with his bank shot, he can rebound, and he’s the best defender out of all six of those players.
It’s true he’s not known as a three point shooter but he has won entire playoff series from him shooting a clutch three pointer.
3 on 3 in the Olympic is so dumb.
To be fair Jimmer got injured the 2nd game and also didn't play the 3rd game
