The league consists of 12 teams, with both former NBA players and international players on their rosters. Big3 games have rules that differ from the official rules of 3-on-3 basketball as administered by FIBA.BIG3 was founded on January 11, 2017. Former player Roger Mason Jr was chosen to be its inaugural Commissioner. Currently, Clyde Drexler (1995 NBA Champion with Houston Rockets) serves as the league's Commissioner. In the first three years of the league, there were only 8 teams competing but in 2019, the league got expanded to a total of 12 teams. The league's headquarters are in Los Angeles, California.

The rules mentioned below are unique to the BIG3 league: - ,1) Half-court games are played. 2) Unlike the NBA, the league also features a 4-point zone, on a circle at a distance of 30 feet from the basket. To score 4 points, the player's feet must touch any part of the circle. 3) Halftime occurs when one team scores 25 points. 4) Each team gets two timeouts per half, one 60 seconds and one 30 seconds. 5)Steals are not required to be cleared. 6) There is no defensive 3-second rule; all defensive strategies, including hand-checking, are permitted. The current minimum age to play in BIG3 is 22 years. In 2019 it was 27 years while during its first two years, the league maintained a policy of only letting above the age of 30 to play.

He won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics, and when he was designated player-coach of the Celtics in 1966, he became the first African American coach of a modern major professional sports team in the United States. Also read: Bill Russell, Boston Celtics legend, dies at 88,Russell could easily have never picked up a basketball, let alone become one of the sport's all-time greats. He was born in a small town in Louisiana. Russell's father relocated the family to Oakland, California, when he was eight years old, since career opportunities were better there. Russell, while no giant, was tall enough to make his high school squad solely on his height. He was a marginal player until he understood, while on a summer basketball tour he had been selected for as an afterthought, that sprinting and jumping could be used to duplicate and negate the flamboyant, creative scorers who consistently gave teams fits. It was a revelation that would revolutionise not only his life, but also basketball in the long run. Also read: Bill Russell family: Know about his wife Jeannine and children,Russell was not heavily pursued by universities, but Hal DeJulio, a former player at the neighboring University of San Francisco (USF), had seen him play and saw his potential, so he recommended Russell to his alma mater. Russell blossomed in college, providing a defensive specialist that helped lead USF to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships in 1955 and 1956. He was also a standout sprinter and high jumper on USF's track and field team (Wilt Chamberlain, his future archrival, also excelled at track and field up until his pro basketball career). Red Auerbach, the Celtics' head coach and general manager, sought Russell in the NBA draft in 1956, seeing him as the answer to his team's weaknesses. Also read: Bill Russell family: Know about his wife Jeannine and children,Again, there was an element of chance at work: Auerbach had never seen Russell play and had to depend on the word of a close colleague. Furthermore, the Celtics needed to move up in the selection in order to select him; with Russell coming off two consecutive NCAA championships, some team was bound to take the risk. So the Celtics dealt centre Ed Macauley and the rights to guard-forward Cliff Hagan, who had yet to play in the NBA due to military service, to the St. Louis Hawks shortly after the Hawks selected Russell with the second pick of the draft. Both Macauley and Hagan were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, demonstrating how highly Auerbach regarded Russell. Also read: Shipping up to Boston? Celtics reportedly eye Kevin Durant,Russell had an instant impact. In his debut season, the Celtics won a championship, and he became the league's first African American superstar, though not its first Black player (who was Earl Lloyd in 1956). He was denied the NBA Rookie of the Year honour, reportedly because teammate Tom Heinsohn had played the full season, although Russell had lost time due to his participation in the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne (where he helped the United States men's basketball team win a gold medal). But there was more to it than that: for many voters, the white Heinsohn was simply a more appealing candidate. Russell, who was vocal and persistently informed on race issues, was not just the NBA's first Black superstar; as the Celtics soon came to dominate the league, he became an activist on par with Muhammad Ali. Russell would not tolerate racism in athletics, which was odd given Boston's history in this regard. Also read: Steph Curry opens 2022 ESPY Awards with light-hearted LeBron jibe,Russell backed the American civil rights movement, protested against the Vietnam War, and engaged in numerous actions that, if done by a lesser sportsman, would have sparked immediate controversy. But the Celtics kept winning, and he was the engine that powered them. Frustratingly, his basketball prowess made his behavior not only excusable for supporters, but also tolerated in a dismissive manner. His on-court accomplishments did not provide him with a platform; rather, they provided him with a peculiar kind of amnesty—the very grandeur that should have forced people to listen somehow masked any trouble he might have wished to cause. Also Read: NBA: Bill Russell's No. 6 jersey to retire across league,Russell, by the end of his career, had come to consider the instability of the 1960s as far more significant than the game he played for a profession. The Celtics continued to make history throughout the decade. They were the first NBA team to field an all-Black lineup in 1964. Auerbach's lineup arose from necessity; he was notoriously apathetic to social problems and the resulting reaction. Also read: Who is LeBron James?,It was, however, a significant milestone made possible by Russell's effort. Russell took over as coach after Auerbach retired after the Celtics won the NBA championship in 1965-66. Granted, this was due in part to the fact that no one could cope with the moody Russell save Russell himself, but he was still the first African American coach in NBA history, as well as the first to win a championship when Boston won the 1967-68 season. Russell won one more championship before retiring from the game for good in 1969. He had made significant progress at basketball, but the restless, conscientious Russell believed that there were bigger fights to fight. Following his retirement, he served as head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics (1973-77) and the Sacramento Kings (1987-88), as a commentator on NBA television broadcasts, and as a social activist. Also read: ESPY Awards: Dick Vitale shares his cancer struggle after winning Jimmy V Award,Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man, his autobiography (cowritten with Taylor Branch), was published in 1979. Russell received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 after being elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975. Russell won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons (1957, 1959–66, and 1968–69). He might have had 12 if an ankle ailment hadn't hampered him early in the 1958 NBA finals. It's an astonishing rate of success that no other NBA player has come close to matching. Russell's Celtics ruled the roost at a time when the NBA's minuscule number of teams (the league consisted of eight or nine franchises for the majority of his career) created a greatly condensed talent pool, and a mixture of integration and improved scouting resulted in an unprecedented influx of new stars. Yet, in a sport that has always celebrated scoring and attacking heroics, Russell was an outlier: a dominant player for whom making shots was a secondary concern. His calling card was defence, rebounding, and, most importantly, shot blocking, which he transformed into a flowing athletic art in the same manner that some of his colleagues had changed the image of what was possible on offence. The Celtics had been a shot-happy, practically out-of-control team before to his arrival, led by passing magician Bob Cousy. Also read: ESPY 2022 Awards: Check full list of winners,Russell did this by closing the loop, causing turnovers that helped Boston to go back on offence even faster, as well as patrolling the paint with a ferocity that accounted for the Celtics' imbalance. Russell's strategy eventually became the team's entire mentality as athletic players who regarded defence as a means to emphasise the fast break were added to the roster. Between 1956 and 1969, the Celtics dynasty retooled, but one consistent was Russell. He established the team's ideology and approach. Above all, Russell was the ultimate winner in basketball. Russell was married to Rose Swisher, his undergraduate sweetheart, from 1956 till 1973. Karen Russell, a television pundit and lawyer, and sons William Jr. and Jacob were their three children. The couple became emotionally estranged and divorced. He married Dorothy Anstett, Miss USA 1968, in 1977; they divorced in 1980.

With both these legends of the game playing as centers, the impact they've had on their respective teams and individual accolades could be the deciding factors. However, experts often argue that statistics do not always do justice in proving an individual's impact on the overall performance of the team. The rivalry by the numbers,When it comes to the number of NBA Finals won, Russell is the undisputed king. As a player, he is the winner of the highest number of championship rings ever, with 11 to his name. On the other hand, Chamberlain has won only twice.

He is the only player in NBA history who has scored 100 points in a single game, achieving this feat while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. He is also the only player to manage an average of 30 points and 20 rebounds throughout the course of his career in the NBA. Russell is a 12-time NBA All-Star while Chamberlain has achieved the feat 13 times. Chamberlain is also a four-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) against Russell's five.

While playing for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020–21 season, Harden tore his left hamstring and was never the same prolific scorer he had been for the previous ten years. He had minor issues with the same left leg and his left wrist after being traded to the 76ers. Because of this, Harden is no longer the 'fearless scorer' he once was and is now a supporting player on a team vying for a championship.

They spoke after Biden read a letter from Griner in which she said she feared she’d never return home. Washington hasn’t made public its strategy in the case and the United States may have little leverage with Moscow because of strong animosity due to Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. The State Department has designated Griner as wrongfully detained, moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"55.7558","longitude":"37.6173","name":"Moscow, Russia","city":"Moscow"},"keywords":"Moscow,Griner,Russian,U.S.,American,Sheremetyevo Airport,Washington,the U.S. Embassy,Russia,Brittney Griner,The Associated Press,WNBA,Phoenix Mercury,Elizabeth Rood,Joe Biden","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-07T22:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"p0Vjetkoyj1b","slug":"english/wnba-star-brittney-griner-in-russian-prison-appeals-to-joe-biden-for-help","slugV2":"sports/wnba-star-brittney-griner-in-russian-prison-appeals-to-joe-biden-for-help-693902/","title":"WNBA star Brittney Griner, in Russian prison, appeals to Joe Biden for help","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_8Br-GdVUW.jpg","coverCaption":"WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner is escorted to a courtroom for a hearing, in Khimki just outside Moscow, Russia, Friday, July 1, 2022.

Leading 2-1 at one stage, the Boston Celtics folded over the next three games as the Golden State Warriors asserted their superiority. Hit by a combination of Steph Curry- aided by an expert supporting cast-and their follies, Ime Udoka's young side fell short in 6 exhilarating games. Although their tussle was often riveting, it fails to burst past some of the legendary Finals contested over NBA's 75-year history. Here's our pick of three finals series which trump the one we just witnessed. Also Read: NBA Finals, Game 6: Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors quarter-by-quarter breakdown #3. Chicago Bulls vs Phoenix Suns (1993) ,After a mediocre regular season, Michael Jordan-led Bulls upped the ante in the playoffs. Cruising past the Atalanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bulls would dump the New York Knicks 4-2 in the Conference Finals. Drawn against a Suns side studded with star names- Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle and Danny Ainge- the two sides would duel over six games. The Bulls might have sealed the deal 4-2, but the point differential between the two stood at a grand zero. ,Leading 3-1 and at home, the Bulls had the chance to clinch the finals in five, but an all-round team performance by the Suns stretched the series to a sixth. At Phoenix's home court, the Bulls trailed by 2 with 14.4 seconds remaining. Jordan off-loaded to Scottie Pippen as he stomped past the half-court. The maverick forward found Horace Grant on the edge of the Suns' paint. Crowded out by their rearguard, Grant laid off to John Paxson. Unchallenged, the guard would tee off a crucial three-pointer with 3.9 seconds left on the clock. It would be enough to seal a nerve-shredding 99-98 win for the Bulls and their third consecutive NBA Championships!,Also Read: Analysis: On Stephen Curry, far more than a great shooter,#2. Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors (2016),In arguably the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, the Cavs would outdo the Golden State Warriors over seven rip-roaring encounters. After dumping the Charlotte Hornets and Atalanta Hawks, the Cavs eased to a 4-2 win against the Toronto Raptors in the Conference final. It brought them face-to-face with a dazzling Golden State side. The Bay Area side had an unbelievable regular-season record of 73-9 and was an odds-on favourite for back-to-back NBA titles. ,The Dubs stormed to a two-love lead, whiplashing the Cavs 104-89 and 114-77 in the first two games. The Cavs would respond with a 120-90 roasting of their own, but a commanding 108-97 win would leave the Warriors a game away from the Championship. However, Draymond Green got slapped with a one-game suspension for picking up too many flagrant fouls in the four games leading up to Game 5. Green- then at the peak of his powers- was a miss for the Warriors as LeBron James and Kyrie Irving racked up 41 points each to fire the Cavs to victory. Andrew Bogut's injury ruled him out of Games 6 and 7, leaving Kerr's side without an effective presence at the rim. James would hit another 41 points in Game 6 to level the series 3-3! ,In Game 7, James and Green were sublime as ever. The Cavs talisman notched up 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Draymond's 32 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists outdid his tally, but it mattered little on the night. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were off-colour, allowing the Cavs to stay in the game. With scores level deep into the fourth, Kyrie Irving arrowed in a crunch three-pointer to edge Cleveland ahead. Curry missed a crucial FG attempt before a foul on James ensured the Cavs would end Cleveland's 52-year curse! ,Also Read: Why Boston Celtics failed to clinch the 2022 NBA champions title,#1. Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers (1984),The most decorated rivalry in NBA history would reach mythical proportions in this most gilded of NBA Finals. The Lakers went one-up in this see-saw series, helmed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 32-point headline act in Game 1. The Celtics would respond with a narrow 124-121 win to level the series one apiece. ,The Lakers turned on the style in Game 2, annihilating the Celtics 137-104. Larry Bird's 30-point push aside, the Cs never quite got to grips with the Lakers' all-court brilliance. But Boston was resourceful enough to hold off the Lakers 129-125 at their Los Angeles base. Larry Bird found support in Dennis Johnson and Robert Parish to undo the Lakers' charge. Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar all posted impressive numbers, but it wasn't to be for California's finest. ,Larry Bird was on hand to give the Celts a 3-2 lead in the finals, scoring 34 points to go with his 17 rebounds and 2 assists. But the Lakers hit back with a 119-108 win to tie the series 3-3. Worthy, Johnson and Jabbar scored 20+ points each to set up a delicious decider. The raucous Boston crowd were in full voice throughout Game 7, as the Celts powered past the Lakers 111-102. Larry Bird was excellent throughout, netting 20 points to go with his 12 rebounds and 3 assists. But Cedric Maxwell would upstage the great man himself, pocketing 28 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds. For the Lakers, Jabbar's 29 points would go in vain!","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"42.3601","longitude":"-71.0589","name":"Boston, MA, USA","city":"Boston"},"keywords":"Cavs,NBA,Lakers,Suns,James,Larry Bird,the Golden State Warriors,Cleveland Cavaliers,Stephen Curry,NBA Finals,Kyrie Irving,Cleveland,Boston,Celts,the Boston Celtics","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-17T14:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"6DMy2LabgMhW","slug":"english/nba-golden-state-warriors-celebrate-the-championship-but-stephen-curry-gets-to-pop-the-champagne","slugV2":"sports/nba-golden-state-warriors-celebrate-the-championship-but-stephen-curry-gets-to-pop-the-champagne-680904/","title":"NBA: Warriors celebrate the championship but Curry gets to pop the champagne","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_YyCkP0PgV.jpg","coverCaption":"Golden State Warriors players pose for a photo after winning the 2022 NBA championship title.

Led by Finals MVP Stephen Curry's all-court brilliance- 34 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists- the visitors kept Boston at bay without much hassle. The home side began strongly before fading as has been the norm. Apart from a stirring third-quarter sortie, they were too error-prone to stretch the finals to a deciding seventh. Bleeding 22 turnovers, the Celts would lose 103-90 in front of a sell-out crowd at their TD Garden home base. Trailing 2-1 after Game 3, the Dubs won three on the bounce to seal a hard-fought series 4-2! ,Also Read: Warriors star Stephen Curry named 2022 NBA Finals MVP,Quarter 1: Celtics 22 Warriors 27 ,Boston flew off the blocks, storming into a 12-point lead in little more than four first-quarter minutes. Golden State was error-strewn throughout much of the early running, missing FG attempts and conceding turnovers almost at will. Unable to cope with the Celtics' intensity, Brian Kerr called a timeout. Whatever Kerr said was an instant cure, sparking a Warriors revival that would blunt the Cs charge. From 2-14 down, the Dubs ended the quarter with a 27-22 lead on the back of an 11-point run. Curry, who struggled to find range on his shooting early doors, lasered the visitors into the lead with a silky three-pointer from the tightest of angles. Jordan Poole put the exclamation mark on a remarkable turnaround, closing the quarter with a cannon from beyond the arc! ,Quarter 2: Celtics 17 Warriors 27,During the interval, Steve Kerr pointed out how ball pressure in the defensive phase had helped effect a momentum shift. It was a plan they would execute brilliantly in the second. Draymond Green-on the back of a stellar Game 5- was dominating the paint, keeping Boston's forward thrusts at bay as the Dubs continued their hot scoring streak! Going 21-0 between the end of the first and the start of the second, the visitors eased into a 15-point lead. Poole and Wiggins were enjoying themselves in court, dropping points without fuss. For the Celtics, Robert Williams continued to thwart Stephen Curry, inspiring a mini-revival. With his spirit rubbing off on his teammates, the Celts put together a 7-0 run, forcing Golden State to call a timeout. The visitors would respond with a 17-8 run, closing the half at 54-39! To put things into perspective, the Warriors outscored them by 33 points since going 12 behind early in the first quarter. ,Quarter 3: Celtics 27 Warriors 22 ,The quarter kicked off with both sides trading three-pointers. Al Horford combined well with Jayson Tatum to drive the Celts forward. But the big man's efforts notwithstanding, the Warriors hit their stride from the get-go. Steph was on a roll, reeling off three FGs from beyond the D, the last of which was a dagger from deep. At 72-50, Game 6 was slipping fast from the hosts!,Udoka called for a breather, giving his players a break from the ragging they had undergone. It seemed to work as Jaylen Brown and Horford seized control, turning the tide bit-by-bit. Roused by the Boston faithful's loud support, the Cs cut the deficit to 10! If the home side had upped their game, the Dubs drop-off was alarming. In classic Jekyll and Hyde fashion, the visitors seemed strangely paralysed after the timeout. Conceding turnovers and missing their attempts, the visitors allowed the Celts to put together a 16-4 run. If not for Green's clutch three-pointer, the margin would be in single digits.

I feel wonderful about my career, the people I’ve met, the things we’ve all accomplished.”,Bird said she's not really prepared for the farewell tour that's likely to follow her every time she visits a WNBA road city for the last time.

But I also understand that there are fan bases that that might want to, you know, take that moment. ... But yeah, I'm not prepared for it.”,Bird turns 42 in October and was on the cusp of stepping away a year ago, and when the Storm were eliminated by the Phoenix Mercury in the playoffs, fans chanted “One more year! One more year!” as she did an on-court televised interview. Those cheers were egged on by Phoenix’s longtime star Diana Taurasi, Bird’s former college teammate at UConn and part of all five of those Olympic gold-medal runs. In the end, the fans — and Taurasi — got what they wanted. Bird came back, for exactly one more year. “Sue Bird is Storm basketball,” her WNBA team tweeted moments after Bird made her decision known. “Every moment, every memory has one constant. No. 10. It’s time for the final chapter.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"47.6062","longitude":"-122.3321","name":"Seattle, WA, USA","city":"Seattle"},"keywords":"WNBA,Seattle,New York,UConn,Sue Bird,Bird,The Seattle Storm,Connecticut,Storm,Syosset,Florida,Tokyo,the United States,Athens,Beijing,Sue Bird retirement ,Sue Bird Seattle Storm retirement ","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-17T06:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"p2L5aEyBr0mX","slug":"english/nba-finals-ghosts-of-playoffs-still-haunt-boston-celtics","slugV2":"sports/nba-finals-ghosts-of-playoffs-still-haunt-boston-celtics-680739/","title":"NBA Finals: Ghosts of playoffs still haunt Boston Celtics","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_OEm_o26eR.jpg","coverCaption":"Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney, foreground left, defends a shot by Boston Celtics.
