Olympics need moar basketball. They need to add shit like 3 point shooting contests, slam dunk contest for men, and 1on1. I mean, they added fucking trampoline, why not these?

Trampoline got me to think about this pic, which would also work in the Olympics.

3 point shooting isn't really a gimme. That would be pretty evenly matched.

YES

Everyone plays basketball, it's not like every kid in the world has an indoor pool to practice backwards upsidedown swimming

>slam dunk
Unless FIBA decides that slam dunks warrant anything other than 2 points, there won't be anything done for it to be an event. I doubt anyone in FIBA wants to glorify the game of basketball as being flash and show.

It's a stupid idea anyway.

>1 on 1
You'd have to categorize events in some way that will make it fair. You can't have a player who play the 5 position play against a 1 guard, they're totally different players. It has to be terms of positions. There's rules that need to be made that's accustomed to 1 on 1 play as well, which FIBA's going to have a hand in as well. Which I doubt the association will make, as that as a deviation to what the game of basketball is - a team sport.

We may as well add five-a-side, futsal (this might happen someday actually), and beach soccer as Olympics sports while we're at it

Dumb ideas are dumb

simple, let the teams pick. You'll need very well rounded people and they'll be discovered

If all those bullshit ways of swimming can be medal events, 1on1 and slam dunks makes even more sense

Don't they already have slam dunk contests? How organized are they?

Man 3 point contests would be awesome if it was done like other Olympic sports. They take 30 seconds to get ready to shoot, it's completely silent, then they make the shot and clapping commences.

The three point contest and skills contest would be fun to watch, but the slam dunk competition is a big no no for dunking in general because dunkers are running out of ideas as it is. This would expose any dunks left that haven't been done to already. I want the art of dunking to retain some novelty.

Who's that old dude that has the record for most consecutive free throws/3pointers or something? He'd rape hard.

3 pt shootouts would be fun, and it wouldn't just be a gimme to the US either.
