Just a couple of meters from the state-of-the-art pools of the Hamdan Sports Complex, a 3×3 basketball court set up in less than four hours was the main stage for the second Dubai 3×3 Basketball tournament organized as a side event for the FIBA U17 World Championships.

And some of the skills that basketball players showed on the court had a lot in common with diving, the main sport in Hamdan Sport Complex. Leaving everything on the floor and diving for every ball was a big part of some very competitive games, while some of the players seemed that they really used some invisible trampolines to fly above the rim.

With three games ended in overtime, some spectacular crossovers, some fancy assists and some jaw-dropping dunks, all mixed up with the cheering of the fans and the entertaining playlist of the DJ, the first day of the Dubai 3×3 Basketball – Stage 2, was a real joy for everybody.

And this is not all. Saturday we will finish in style with the championship games and the award ceremonies for every category.

We wait every basketball lover from Dubai to join us for entertaining games, contests for the fans, a slam-dunk contest and more and more fun.
