What is 3×3?
Three-a-side basketball, otherwise known as 3×3, is a variation of basketball that pits two teams of three players against each other instead of five, on a half court with a single basket. The discipline is booming in the basketball world, even if it does not yet have the fame of its sister, the discipline of 5×5.
