3x3 Basketball is a fast-paced version of traditional basketball played on a half-court. Each team consists of three players, and the game is played to 21 points or within a 10-minute time limit, whichever comes first. Teams score by shooting the ball through the hoop, with different point values assigned to shots made from various distances. The game emphasizes quick transitions and teamwork, as players must adapt to the smaller court and fewer teammates. FIBA, the international basketball federation, governs official 3x3 competitions, including the Olympics and various world championships, promoting the sport globally.
