3x3 is a much faster version of 3-on-3, and a lot more fun to watch. It was created in 2007 by FIBA (the International Basketball Federation that governs basketball around the world) in order to make basketball more accessible to more people and to add a new spectator- and mobile-friendly version of the game that would appeal to younger audiences. An additional goal was to get it added to the Olympic Games, which became official in June 2017. FIBA 3x3 will have its Olympic debut at the 2021 Tokyo Games next summer.
