After its introduction in the Youth Olympics in 2010, the 3x3 format, played on a half court with a relatively smaller ball, has caught up the imagination of the world so much that it would be introduced as a medal event in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The 3x3 Pro basketball league is tentatively scheduled to be launched in the country next year.
