I am reposting the content here with modifications and corrections as a way to promote the 3x3 game.

3x3 is considered the number one urban team sport.

3x3 is simple and flexible enough to be played anywhere by anybody. All you need is a hoop, a half court and six players. Events can be staged indoor and outdoor in iconic locations to bring basketball directly to the people.

The rules are very simple and designed to make 3x3 a fast, spectacular and exciting game. It is an opportunity for new players, organizers and countries to go from the streets to the World Stage. The stars of the game play in a professional tour and some of the most prestigious multi-sports events.
