Seattle Goes From NBA to 3BA
After losing its NBA team last month, Seattle will welcome 3BA to town tonight.
What is 3BA?
3BA International is ”an unprecedented full court 3-on-3 professional basketball game that places extreme emphasis on speed, stamina and fundamental skills.”
You can read more about 3BA International here. Basically the game primarily uses point guards, shooting guards and small forwards to create an exciting fast paced style of play. There is an 18-second shot clock instead of a 24-second clock, and the game uses a shortened court — 72 by 50 feet rather than the NBA’s 94 by 50 feet court size.
3BA creator Kevin LuBahn said it is not yet a league. 3BA International is scheduled for five tour dates this year, 21 next year and plans to begin a 32 to 40 game season in April 2010 through late August 2010.
“It’s the Arena Football version of basketball,” said longtime Lakers forward A.C. Green, who will coach the Portland team tonight against Seattle. “I got involved because I wanted to be part of something new and different.”

Sounds like you are making fun of Seattle after just having ripped their team from them. Wow, classy.
At least it’s good to know Oklahomans realize “their new team” was taken from Seattle unjustly. Surprised Clay didn’t take the banners & retired jerseys and tell everyone about the great history of pro ball in Oklahoma. enjoy the losing while you still have a team….
A. i’m making fun of clay bennett, you moron.
B. i didn’t rip their team from them, clay bennett did (see A)
does Ed ever post/say anything intelligent or does he still think his “go okc potatoes” comment is funny?
Slade the Blade said he would slice and dice Bennett like a vegamatic but instead, I ended up tossing his salad. Not only is he taking the team, he’s taking the chairs and TVs too.
Here’s a quote from mark, from Sonicscentral…..
“Buck the Flazers. Any Sonics fan that turns to them is like a battered woman who goes from one abusive relationship to another.”
So is that why you’re here mark? Looking for another abusive relationship?
Go OKC Potato- I’m sorry. I have to admit, I don’t even know what this means. I’m just trying to reach out because having the Supersonics taken from me brings back memories of my mommy taking away my lincoln logs. YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME ANYMORE MOM!!! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!!! GO OKC POTATOES!!!
you picked thunder? are you kiddin me? as if okc wasnt already a laughingstock. that franchise is doomed.
don’t pick on joey, he’s alright. you’d be pissed if you were him. at least he understands that not EVERY citizen of okc got together to take his team.
and joey, as much as thunder sucks, it’s better than some of the other options i’ve heard (pride, for example…).
i heard clay bennett was looking into their 3ba team, but he’s going to do everything he can to keep it in seattle.
