3x3 basketball is gaining serious momentum — and it’s not just us saying it anymore.
After two powerful interviews with Martin Dyan (Rise 3x3 UK) and Coach Ras Vanderloo (USA Basketball), we started noticing something: coaches around the world are all saying the same thing… 3x3 basketball is becoming a real movement.
In this episode, we break down the biggest takeaways from those conversations and talk about why more coaches are embracing 3x3 as a powerful tool for player development.
We discuss:
• Why 3x3 forces players to think and make decisions faster
• How the format builds basketball IQ, creativity, and problem solving
• The growing global popularity of 3x3 basketball
• Why USA Basketball’s new 3X initiative could be a turning point
• How coaches can start using 3x3 in their own practices and programs
From grassroots leagues to international tournaments, it’s becoming clear that 3x3 is more than just a practice format — it’s shaping the future of basketball.
If you’re a coach, parent, or player who cares about development, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
