BIG3 is a 3-on-3 basketball league. Other than being 3-on-3 as opposed to 5-on-5, some notable rules which set BIG3 apart from the NBA include games played on a half-court, a 14 second shot clock, and three four-point zones on circles 30 feet away from the basket. One is on the midline of the court while the other two are 40 degrees away from the midline. To score the 4 points a player's foot must be touching any part of a circle. To win a game a team must score 50 or more points and lead by at least two points.
