Olympics organizers are eager to get the ball rolling, or rather bouncing, as they look toward the 2020 program in Tokyo. According to the Associated Press, the International Olympic Committee is all but certain it will add 3-on-3 basketball to its ever-changing list of events.

"It would certainly be a perfect fit," Patrick Baumann, the secretary general of world basketball's governing body, told the news service Friday.

Adding 3-on-3 tournaments should add 96 athletes to basketball's quota for the 2020 Olympics, a key test for the proposals next week.

They should add a dunk contest and three point shootout

If they do a 3 on 3 please remove the 3 point line and just have each basket be worth a point. I don't want 3 on 3 to be just 3 guards/wings jacking up 3's.

One article said that it would use the existing pool of athletes but another said that 96 athletes would be added to the pool for it so I think it depends on what they decide to vote on.

So how do you set up team USA? Will the top tier players look at it as a step down to not make the main team but get selected to the 3 on 3 team?

Kobe might come out of retirement for that one.

Fiba already runs world championships for 3 on 3.
