When I first heard about Big3 basketball I thought it might be something that could catch my interest. Once I found it on TV I quickly found out differently. I only made it through a couple of possessions before I realized I was watching out of shape (from the game I saw) guys basically playing pickup basketball. Has anyone else given it a shot?

I too thought it would be interesting, but was very unimpressed with the play.  I've seen better shot making at the lunchtime pickup games at the local YMCA.  That said, I like the rules and the premise of the games, so hopefully they can attract some better players if they make it to another season.

How does it work?  It's just half-court basketball?

I watched roughly 15 seconds of it before thinking "seriously?" 

It is, as Phish described, out of shape dudes playing pickup hoops.

Chauncey Billups looked pretty good for part of a game I was watching last week.  If this is able to last maybe they could get some recently retired guys to play, like a Kobe.  Problem is the money they would be paid isn't worth their time at this point.
