i agree. 3x3 should be dropped in favor of mor team in 5x5, After all 3x3 basketball is mainly a sport of youth interest

not gonna happen,it's a youth interest sport afterall there are better odds that 5x5 will leave the olympics eventually  because muh modernity.

3x3 is one of the more successful "modern" events so it's not going anywhere.

 

If anything, the IOC should increase the size of the tournament.

I will also point out that considering it’s more fast paced, it’s a much better option for those who don’t want to (or have the time to) watch a full two hour basketball game.

would of had little interest even if the team made it in,given that apparently they would of gotten their asses beat by South sudan too,i'm sure their secretly glad they avoided the humiliation.

At some point it looked like 5x5 is going the football path with FIBA starting the World Cup project and NBA players losing interest but this tournament is going to be the strongest ever, so it's not going anywhere soon.
