The Paris Olympics are finally here, and among the many stars competing for the U.S. over the next couple of weeks is a stacked Team USA 3×3 men’s basketball roster, which includes NBA veteran and college sensation Jimmer Fredette.
During the 2021 Tokyo Games, men’s 3×3 basketball was first featured as an Olympic sport. Unfortunately, the U.S. men’s team did not qualify for the Olympic competition.
In Paris this year, there are several pool rounds of men’s games (July 30-August 2 and August 4) before teams will play in the semifinal and medal games on August 5. The eight men’s teams are the United States, Latvia, Lithuania, China, Netherlands, Poland, France and Serbia.
