Since it’s still off season I figured this can fly, god I want the season to actually start.
Womens basketball used to be played 6 x 6. Three offense and three defense players that would not cross half court. Also no three pointers, and only two dribbles. Make sense? Not really, it’s stupid. Anyways, what’s your all time NBA 6 x 6 squad?
Defense : KG, Pippin, Big Ben
Offense : Jordan, KD, Wilt
three defense players that would not cross half court
Finally it’s Rudy Gobert’s time to shine
No way, need him on offense for the screen assists
If it’s only 2 dribbles, my need for perimeter defense goes way down. I’m just gonna roll with 6 bigs
I disagree, off ball movement is about to go crazy. Curry will run a big ragged in 2 possessions.
So much space in a 3v3 half court setting too lol
Defense - Pippen, Kawhi, Olujuwan
Offense: MJ, KD, Shaq
O - Curry, Bird, Joker
D - Kawhi, KG, Russell
Defense:
David Robinson
Nate McMillan
Mark Eaton
Offense:
Michael Jordan
LeBron James
Nikola Jokic
There’s a great 99PI podcast about this game (though I don’t think the dribbling limitation was mentioned?)
Offense : MJ, LeBron, Shaq
Defense : Draymond, KG, Bill Russell
6x6 girls was still being played in TN in the mid 70s, when I started HS. 3-3 each end.
If you want to go waaay back, there was a version that was 2-2 on each end and the two centers could only move in a narrow strip from sideline to sideline at center court. The center had to receive the pass from the defense and then pass it to the offense. If you visit some old school gyms, usually in rural areas you can still find floors marked out this way. I used to play on a travelling charity-game media team and we played in all manner of odd rural gyms - wood, tile, carpet, wooden backboards, metal backboards, fan backboards, etc.
Is this like a hybrid of netball adapted to a basketball court?
Idk It’s the way it was played decades and decades ago in many places
Upvote for you!
Everyone always says how KD is such a great scorer. His career PPG is the same as LBJ
Defense: Mutumbo (shameful he hasn’t been mentioned), Hakeem, Giannis
Offense: MJ, Curry, Bird.
