After the U.S. men’s team won the 3×3 basketball competition at the Pan American Games, the United States swept the event.

Also on Monday, the United States women went undefeated at 7-0 and took home the gold.

Kareem Maddox (Princeton/Los Angeles, CA) stated of the U.S. Women’s 3×3 team, “Look, I’m glad we didn’t have to play them in the championship because they are tough.”

“Many of their games were broadcast to us, and from what we saw, they are tough, talented basketball players.

The group right in front of us served as a source of motivation since they modelled the correct strategy for playing 3×3.

Which was a skill we needed to pick up quickly and for which we needed to collaborate.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we couldn’t have wished for a nicer, more amazing quartet of ladies to help us win the first-ever 3×3 tournament at the Pan American Games.”
