3BA: New Professional 3 on 3 League

This story is a couple weeks old, but it's interesting (via Slam Magazine):

A newly minted professional 3 on 3 basketball league is trying to get off the ground. The league will essentially be a pro version of the popular, outdoor 3 on 3 basketball tournaments that dot the American landscape every spring and summer (Gus Macker, Hoop it Up, etc.)-- minus the teams comprised of dorky, bespectacled, knee pad wearing, doughy middle aged white guys who are usually a staple at 3 on 3 tournaments, of course:

"Kevin Lubahn, who created the idea for the league a decade ago, designed the game to eliminate power forwards and centers who slow the game down. This opens up the court for quicker, more athletic players to do their thing. The four 11 minute quarters really take a lot out of players who are forced to play at a jet-like pace."
