Sha'Carri Richardson breezes through opening round at first-ever Olympics race
Thanks to the popularity of French superstar, Victor Wemba Yama coupled with the fact that four French players were selected in the first round of the most recent NBA draft. Five on five. Traditional basketball is shining bright in the city of light basketball has become so big here in France, we even found areas in Paris that were once parking lots that have now been turned into basketball courts. But do any people here know what, what three X three basketball is and that it's even in the Olympics, I didn't know it was on the program. Even the three X three players like college star and influencer Haley Van Lith are new to the game. This has been kind of something that has just came out of nowhere. Three X three debuted at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 was created to be fast and fun. It's the first team, the 21 or whoever is in the league at the end of 10 minutes. Also, there's no coach on the court. I think it's *** great, it's *** great opportunity for us to, to learn to think the game and this game provides hoop dreams to countries around the world who find it difficult to compete in traditional basketball. Our national team, uh, three Dutch guys are, uh, also doing it. Uh, but our national team in basketball. Yeah, it's had no chance against, uh, the big stars in America, of course. Uh.
