LeBron James told reporters Sunday he's more of a "5-on-5" guy, but said the addition was great for basketball.
The new Olympic event was added Friday by the International Olympic Committee. The Cavaliers star was a bit more reserved when he came to picking present day players.
"Found out some more information on the 3-on-3 event in the Olympics", Patrick said on his radio show. As far as what teams are selected and how teams qualify, that's still unclear.
It's uncertain whether National Basketball Association players are even eligible to play in the event.
As LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors gear up for game 5 in Oakland on Monday night, National Basketball Association fans were treated to a 30-minute barbershop conversation that showed a different side to the uber competitive set. "I stay out of the one-on-one matchups during our practice, the 2-on-2s and the 3-on-3s". And so I had to be like, as much as my mom means everything and my wife and my kids ...
"I'm not very good at the three-on-three thing", the Cleveland Cavaliers star said, per Zach Harper of CBS Sports.
United States official makes brief appearance at G7 environment summit
His absence was noticed by the other G7 members, which are Canada, France , Germany , Italy , Japan and the United Kingdom. A source familiar with the matter said Trudeau had last month strongly urged the president to stay in the pact .
I'm trying to think of a reason why LeBron would even do it and I have nothing. When you go to seven straight NBA Finals (and counting) with two different teams, you've more than earned your long offseason.
"I grew up playing street ball so to have 3-on-3 a part of the Olympics I think it's also something guys can win that are not pro athletes".
"I don't think it's something that I aspire to do, but I think it'll be great for sure", Green said.
The victor of each game is the first to reach 21 or the team that leads after the 10-minute period.
The comments don't come as a surprise - chances are James won't be playing full court for Team USA either in 2020, having skipped the 2016 games in Rio after winning consecutive gold medals in 2008 and 2012.
