The 3-on-3 Big 3—Chris, Terrika, and Sharí—are back to do a deep dive into the Olympic Games. Team USA Men's and Women's basketball teams brought home gold, but our hosts had a spirited discussion on whether or not it was enough. Team USA has spoiled fans over the years by dominating other countries, but this year looked a little different. Serbia and France took the men down to the wire, and for the women, the gold medal game came down to the final shot. Sharí was not pleased with that. Sharí then teed up the crew to preview the 2028 Olympics set to take place in Los Angeles. Terrika made predictions on which members of the Team USA men's basketball team would return and shared her belief that Ja Morant has a place on the roster. Meanwhile, Sharí was more concerned about who would step up for the women's team with Diana Taurasi retiring and other players likely not returning. Chris reassured everyone that the young talent in the WNBA, like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, would replace the veteran talent, especially with their opportunity to develop over the next four years. Dearica Hamby dominated headlines directly after the Olympic break when she announced that she had filed a lawsuit against the WNBA and her former team, the Las Vegas Aces. In the signature Jump Ball segment, the crew defends why Dearica is well within her rights to claim discrimination, expressing hope that this will inspire change across leagues for more protections for athletes dealing with pregnancies so they don't lose their livelihoods. Happy birthday to the one and only, Terrika Foster-Brasby!   ►3on3 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/3on3pod/ ►3on3 X- https://twitter.com/the3on3Pod ►3on3 YouTube Chanel - https://www.youtube.com/@3on3Pocast ►Inflection Network YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@TheINflectionNetwork ► Inflection Network Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inflectionent/?hl=en Chris Williamson ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/cwilliamsontv9/?hl=en ► X | https://twitter.com/CWilliamson44 Terrika Foster-Brasby ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sheknowssports_/ ► X | https://twitter.com/sheknowssports Sharí Nycole ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/shari_nycole/ ► X | https://twitter.com/Shari_Nycole   #3on3pod #AllIN #InflectionNetworkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
