NBA 3X presented by Foot Locker coming to Clapham Common

NBA 3X Presented by Foot Locker, a free 3-on-3 basketball tournament open to male and female players in U-16, U-18 and 18+ open categories, will be held Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 at Clapham Common’s newly-refurbished court.

Seventy two teams are expected to participate (register now at nba.com/3xlondon), with 12 in each category, as the men and women will be competing to win an all-expenses paid trip to The NBA Paris Game 2023 in January, featuring the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons, while the juniors will be battling for Foot Locker store vouchers.

The Clapham Common renovated court was unveiled in November 2021 as part of Foot Locker’s ‘Raise the Game’ programme, in partnership with the NBA, Hoopsfix Foundation and Basketball.

Launched in 2020, the Raise the Game program’s aim is to support, foster and fund the local basketball networks and organisations in Europe that are invested in driving change within their communities through the game, and its culture.

As England’s only outdoor basketball court featuring spectator seating and flood lights, it makes Clapham Common courts the capital’s premiere, fully functional venue to host this summer’s tournament.

Fans who attend NBA 3X will also be able to enjoy a variety of activities on-and-off the court, including skills challenges, shooting games and appearances by local DJs.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
