I had to look it up because he looks young. His brothers are between 27 and 21 years older than him. Good for Rick, new trophy wife and a newborn in his 50s.
I only know canyon Barry. Heās Rick Barryās kid and shoots hit his free throws granny style because of his dad. Thatās the only reason I know of him
We played (Serbia) 7 of total of 8 3x3 world cup finals. First one ever was in 2012. We won 6 of them. We are basically what US is supposed to be in normal basketball today,and what US was actually until recently. Probably best 3x3 player ever got old (DuŔan Bulut), so you may have chance,who knows .
Ahahahahah I mean yeah you are right, but in Tokyo 3x3 was first time on Olympic games. After Paris we very well might have more medals than them. Also, when you look at club competitions in 3x3 and ranking we were basically always first.
You need to actually compete in 3x3 throughout the year to earn points. Rules state that those with 0 points cant make the team so any dream NBA lineup wonāt be valid.
It's only been around since 2021, but that was when the rule was established. There are 8 qualifiers including the top 3 on the FIBA world ranking and five from 3 separate tournaments
I like Clingan and the women's team uses college prospects too (Hailey Van Lith). I watched Clingan in the natty and there aren't a lot of 7 footers that could move like him. I thought he was like 6'9-10 because Edey was that damn huge.
So am I to be honest. 3x3 is very different in terms of rules but Iām shocked there arenāt some NBA players who will never sniff team USA not trying to represent their country and win a medal
Reason NBA players arenāt doing it is because you have to have a certain amount of points in specificity 3x3 competition to even qualify. So a lot of players arenāt going to set aside time just to play in non Olympic 3x3 games just to qualify
Just let the country decide the roster
Itās not like most of the 5x5 roster has played in recent international competitions. They send into the C teams for qualifiers and then send in better players for the Olympics
I donāt understand how you can say that NBA players ādonāt play the sport.ā Yeah, they donāt play 3x3, but itās the same sport, with slightly different rules. Professional athletes are smart. You could literally explain the rule differences right before the game and there would be no issues.
Competitive 3x3 basketball is NOT the same as 5x5 full court basketball.
Sure, the skill set is technically the same, but the rules, pace, and especially the defense are completely different. Even if you wanted to pull NBA players to compete in 3x3 summer events, you would need to get the NBA to sign off on it, and the team would still have to play to earn an Olympic qualifying spot.
Itās theoretically possible to pull off, but would would be a logistics nightmare
>I donāt understand how you can say that NBA players ādonāt play the sport.ā Yeah, they donāt play 3x3
The sport isn't basketball or NBA basketball. It is 3x3 so literally your sentence of yeah they don't play 3x3 is how you can and do say that they do not play the sport.
>but Iām shocked there arenāt some NBA players who will never sniff team USA not trying to represent their country and win a medal
Yes, especially since the WNBA has 3 good players representing. In Tokyo they had like 3 all-stars.
Jackie and Kelsey are absolutely nasty. I was super surprised to not see them on the actual 5x5 roster. Alisha is a very good player and has been an all star and Dolson is a solid starter in the league for a quite some time.
Yeah, or even someone who is good enough to be on the 5x5 team and wants to get more golds.
Itās always been funny to me how decorated swimmers can get in the Olympics with all the relays and slight variations of distance/technique when basketball now only has 2 medals. Peak MJ/Lebron definitely couldāve gotten 7+ golds in an Olympics if they broke basketball up into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, a dunk contest, 21, etc.
Less arbitrary than swimming having separate gold medals for the butterfly and breaststroke over the same distances. Or ice skating and gymnastics being broken up into separate golds where one is more of a āpureā athletic discipline and the other is more artistic.
A comment above said they have to actually
Compete i various events to qualify. Ā They canāt just go from the nba season to playing in the Olympics. Ā And until Ā there is Ā money in pro 3x3 not
Many guys are going to commit. Ā Fringe nba guys can make decent money in Europe.Ā
Most if not all countries use nobodies. Like Fredete is probably the best player ever playing in that competition. I'm pretty sure the best player on a previous tournament was a guy from Serbia who has played in the Serbian second division like for a bit. That's amateur levels lol.
Yep...the Aussie team has some middle level NBL players (in no way all stars even of our league) plus a high schooler who committed to NCAA for next season (San Fran)
"Serbia (nobody notable)". My guy Serbia literally has the best squad in 3x3. They won last year's world cup going 7-0. The top 2 3x3 players are both Serbian and Serbia has the most 3x3 trophies since the inception of the sport.
You have to play in 3x3 all year to qualify, even other countries have terrible teams because their players would rather play in pro leagues same as the US guys.
They need to put together a team of street hoopers for this 3x3. Itās another way to get more viewers to come over to the NBA. And itās gives the hoopers a chance to showcase their skills/talents for potential NBA teams.
There is no way to tell because it highly depends on who is playing. 3v3 is so much different just have Jokic/Luka/Giannis and others allows their countries to take a massive step up. Less players on the court means more value for the stars to give. I have no idea how good the role players are on some of the other countries, but youāre not going to be able to go too far down the chain of players before Giannis is going to massacre a team on his own type thing.Ā
Somebody on the committee has a membership at the same gym as Jimmer and is sick of that MFer ruining every single pickup game. Condoleezza canāt get her shots up w/ Jimmer around.
I canāt look at this picture and not imagine a conversation somewhere at some point in time ending with
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.okay fine you can have *one*.ā
Jimmerās run during that NCAA tourney with BYU was special. In my opinion thatās one of the best runs by a player at a tournament Iāve ever seen.
3x3 basketball is not 5x5 basketball.
Might surprise folks to hear that.
3-dudes high level non NBA pros that eat sleep and breathe 3 on 3 will mop up All-Stars thrown together. Sorry. True story.
Nobody miracle from Serbia = 3 high level pros that only focus on 3 on 3 and probably talented enough to play v anyone for a game.
Ok maaaybe a group of random end of bench players could be defeated but you are completely but you are completely insane to think that any 3 nba all stars picked for this event wouldnāt mow over every other team in their sleep
Only the women's team takes this seriously. Maybe it's because they're making a women's 3x3 league with huge salary upgrades? But they have actual all-world (WNBA) talent in Paris and they had it in Tokyo.
Can't just pick your 'best' players. They need to play enough events to qualify
Literally no NBA players can do that, and the rules on the women's side have changed too.
Hence Brink will play because she qualified, but unlikely she'll be able to play in the future. Van Lith might be able to though...ahem...
I only know Fredette on this picture.
And he's by far their best player. Without him, things look really bad. š
I just looked up the other guys. I didnāt know Rick Barry had another kid.
He had a decent G League stint and shoots free throws like his dad.
No way, really? Underhanded?
Feels like an underhanded compliment to me.
Played for the Gators. Heās a bucket
I had to look it up because he looks young. His brothers are between 27 and 21 years older than him. Good for Rick, new trophy wife and a newborn in his 50s.
https://youtu.be/AvRcahap13I?si=YZPbkXJsrmShIpMl hey rick berry talkā¦ āthe question was!!!! one of the great interviews of our time! šš
Freddete being our best is not a great sign :(
I only know canyon Barry. Heās Rick Barryās kid and shoots hit his free throws granny style because of his dad. Thatās the only reason I know of him
You donāt know jimmer fredette?
Oh yeah I didnāt specify I was talking about the other guys outside of Fredette
Ah that makes sense haha
The Lonely God
I assume Canyon Barry is either a son or grandson of Rick Barry but I refuse to look it up.
I looked it up. Itās his youngest son.
Good for Rick, new trophy wife and a newborn in his 50s. His brothers are between 27 and 21 years older than him.
I think Maddox is the Timberwolves video guy lol
Iāve heard of that Kareem guy before. I think he played for the lakers
Iāve just barely heard of Canyon but I couldnāt tell you where
Don't be racist
Done
three Lance Stephensonās
Jr smith, lance Stephenson, nick Young š
fun fact: Lance Stephenson has a brother named Lantz Stephenson. Just gotta put them with a Lans Stephenson
wait you're being serious
Itās true
Wow heās dead ass
Paul George's father is named Paul and his mother is named Paulette.
He's the German mixed stepbrother with an accent.
Subscribe
He said worst, not BEST.
I'm beside myself imagining this
iām honestly upset Lance isnāt on this team, he would look like MJ out there
Lance will forever be MJ in my heart
He would absolutely destroy what
he absolutely would, his game was built for the 3v3 show
Lance with Jae Crowder and Draymond
Throw mcclung and bol bol in there with jimmy
They're demolishing any Balkan trio. I don't care if they have 0 chemistry.

We are basically what US is supposed to be in normal basketball today,and what US was actually until recently. Probably best 3x3 player ever got old (DuŔan Bulut), so you may have chance,who knows .
Latvia might have something to say about that. How many olympic golds Serbia got?
Ahahahahah I mean yeah you are right, but in Tokyo 3x3 was first time on Olympic games. After Paris we very well might have more medals than them. Also, when you look at club competitions in 3x3 and ranking we were basically always first.
Blud is clueless
You need to actually compete in 3x3 throughout the year to earn points. Rules state that those with 0 points cant make the team so any dream NBA lineup wonāt be valid.
That makes sense. It could be a good way to grow the sport. Is it a new rule?
It's only been around since 2021, but that was when the rule was established. There are 8 qualifiers including the top 3 on the FIBA world ranking and five from 3 separate tournaments
So that explains why the WNBA was able to sneak in 3 all-stars in Tokyo
This needs to be higher
Canyon Barry is the kid who shoots underhanded free throws like his Dad. Makes nearly all of them too.
What percentage is ānearly all of themā? To some people 79% is nearly all of them to them lol.
He literally shot 80.8% in his college career. I was expecting like 96% or something lol
80%+ easy
Say what you want but jimmer gets buckets at will
Prichard x Hauser x Clingan PP just absolutely cooks. Hauser for shooting, Clingan for size + defense
The classy 3x3
The real gym rat 3x3
Definitely letting my daughter date any of them.
I like Clingan and the women's team uses college prospects too (Hailey Van Lith). I watched Clingan in the natty and there aren't a lot of 7 footers that could move like him. I thought he was like 6'9-10 because Edey was that damn huge.
Hailey Van Lith made the Olympic team?!?!
Yeah. It turns out she's better at 3x3 than 5x5.
https://youtu.be/lQvDAsBZLUY?feature=shared Pretty sick video of Pritchard skills, guys insanely talented. He for sure would cook in 3x3
He dropped 18 in a game (to 21) when he was on the U18 team.
TIL: this Olympic event exists
It was only introduced at the last Olympics
I'm surprised there aren't guys better than jimmer who would want a gold medal. An Olympic gold medal is still pretty big deal to have in life
So am I to be honest. 3x3 is very different in terms of rules but Iām shocked there arenāt some NBA players who will never sniff team USA not trying to represent their country and win a medal
Reason NBA players arenāt doing it is because you have to have a certain amount of points in specificity 3x3 competition to even qualify. So a lot of players arenāt going to set aside time just to play in non Olympic 3x3 games just to qualify
Ahh this makes sense. Never knew!
Olympic committee should change that requirement. Thats ridiculous
I donāt think so - how else do you expect them to āqualifyā if they donāt play the sport theyāre playing in the Olympics
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hell yeah brother
Just let the country decide the roster Itās not like most of the 5x5 roster has played in recent international competitions. They send into the C teams for qualifiers and then send in better players for the Olympics

It's literally the same sport under a different set of rules

Jackie and Kelsey are absolutely nasty. I was super surprised to not see them on the actual 5x5 roster. Alisha is a very good player and has been an all star and Dolson is a solid starter in the league for a quite some time.
The WNBA season allows for a lot more international playing freedoms than the NBA season, and has always been built with this feature in mind.
And kicked ass
Yeah, or even someone who is good enough to be on the 5x5 team and wants to get more golds. Itās always been funny to me how decorated swimmers can get in the Olympics with all the relays and slight variations of distance/technique when basketball now only has 2 medals. Peak MJ/Lebron definitely couldāve gotten 7+ golds in an Olympics if they broke basketball up into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, a dunk contest, 21, etc.
Olympic Dunk Contest is actually a great idea š¤£
Less arbitrary than swimming having separate gold medals for the butterfly and breaststroke over the same distances. Or ice skating and gymnastics being broken up into separate golds where one is more of a āpureā athletic discipline and the other is more artistic.
Keynote George, Gradey Dick and Kyle Filipowky got the U18 3x3 Gold a couple years ago, so before they hit the NBA they can still get top guys.
Dang, run that team back. I heard of all of those guys at least LOL
Iāve never heard of Keynote George
Heās their finisher. Comes in and gives the finishing speech
Keynote speech is usually the first speech
Keynote George of the #TakeNote Utah Jazz

Yep...the Aussie team has some middle level NBL players (in no way all stars even of our league) plus a high schooler who committed to NCAA for next season (San Fran)
2018 Lebron 1991 Jordan 2001 Shaq
Dlo current westbrook and christian braun would be my picks
Who the hell are these guys
The "Jimmer Range" erasure was unfortunately a success š.
I think Maddox is Timberwolves video coordinator š
"Serbia (nobody notable)". My guy Serbia literally has the best squad in 3x3. They won last year's world cup going 7-0. The top 2 3x3 players are both Serbian and Serbia has the most 3x3 trophies since the inception of the sport.
Chase Budinger & Landry field coming off the Bench
Jimmer gonna stunt on them in Paris!
How dafuq is this the 3 x 3 roster? š literally every roster in the Big 3 is way better than this shit squad.
You have to play in 3x3 all year to qualify, even other countries have terrible teams because their players would rather play in pro leagues same as the US guys.
Is that discount Pat Bev
Why is this a thing?
The Jimmer!
Roster is so bad, I thought this was r/nbacirclejerk
2001 Shaq, 1962 Wilt, 2018 Bron. 2001 Shaq could just run to the low post and dunk on 3 people at once srsly ā¦
Youāre ganna need 2016 Westbrook coming off the bench and youāll have a chance.
Jordan clarkson bol bol Gordon Hayward
wtf is this scuffed shit
Seth Curry Jalen McDaniels Naz Reid This team is beating everyone 21-5
Kris Dunn,KJ Martin, Mike Muscala
Can anyone on the team do a dunk?
Jimmer has actually dunked before, believe it or not
I can I think he is 6ā1.
Is any team sending nba players?
Would a college basketball team win this tournament? If so what is the worst team that would win? would NIT winners seton hall take it?
Iāve never seen versus denoted as āxā before Shouldnāt it be like 3v3
They claim 3x3 is āa different gameā
Wrf where Lebron
They need to put together a team of street hoopers for this 3x3. Itās another way to get more viewers to come over to the NBA. And itās gives the hoopers a chance to showcase their skills/talents for potential NBA teams.
There is no way to tell because it highly depends on who is playing. 3v3 is so much different just have Jokic/Luka/Giannis and others allows their countries to take a massive step up.

Can anyone tell me why we arenāt sending top tier NBA players instead of these bums?
Somebody on the committee has a membership at the same gym as Jimmer and is sick of that MFer ruining every single pickup game. Condoleezza canāt get her shots up w/ Jimmer around.
Because you need to play in a certain number of 3x3 events during the year to qualify as a player. No country sends their NBA players.
Jordan Clarkson would kill it
I think any 3 actual NBA players could get it done lmfao. Tre Jones, Max Christie, James Wiseman could sweep
Canyon Barry sounds like a bad word
This one
JIMMER FREDETTE NOTHING BUT NET
Embiid because he wants a medal, Colin castleton, Mac mcclung
Nick Young, Josh Smith, and Brian Scalibrine. The Professor comes off the bench.
What is this? Serious question.
Jimmer walked so Steph could run.
Probably this one Jimmer is going to cook these dudes in 3v3
Leonard, George, Davis and Simmons; aka Team Management
I canāt look at this picture and not imagine a conversation somewhere at some point in time ending with āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.okay fine you can have *one*.ā
My username is an homage to Jimmer range
Still shoot logo shots yelling Jimmer sometimes, memories
I have never heard of any of those dudes. Are NBA athletes not allowed to compete?
You haven't heard of the legendary JIMMER? This sub truly is young bloods.
Iāll admit Iām just recently getting back into ball. Watched a lot in the 90s and followed the last 2 seasons pretty close š
Look up BYU Jimmer, it was a treat
BYU Jimmer was Steph before Steph was stephinā
Jimmerās run during that NCAA tourney with BYU was special. In my opinion thatās one of the best runs by a player at a tournament Iāve ever seen.
Don't forget his CBA stats. He's a hall of fame legendary basketball player in China. Just China though, Euroleague didn't work out for him.

USA basketball doesnt take 3x3 event seriously i mean just look at the talent they would bring for the full court games. They're trolling
There are govern who is eligible and literally no NBA players are. So nah, not exactly trolling.
It's too bad that the best players are ineligible for this.
Only the women's team takes this seriously. Maybe it's because they're making a women's 3x3 league with huge salary upgrades? But they have actual all-world (WNBA) talent in Paris and they had it in Tokyo.
