Jack Gibbs: 3X3 and Making Wheelchair Basketball Cool

The man who brought 3X3 wheelchair basketball to the UK stops in to explain to us why it's here to stay.

We've seen a huge rise in the popularity of 3X3 basketball lately, including the able-bodied version being featured at Tokyo 2020 for the first time.

Wheelchair basketball is also about to make history, as 3X3 will be featured at this summer's Commonwealth Games.

Jack Gibbs was onto 3X3 well before it was cool and, as part of the High Rollers, has just completed his second open-invitation 3X3 wheelchair basketball tournament in Essex last month. It doesn't stop there, as his plans are only getting more ambitious!

Jack joins Bench Units to explain why 3X3 has become so popular so quickly, and how it's here to stay as a legitimate alternative to traditional basketball.
