3x3 basketball first made its debut way back in 2010 at the Youth Olympic Games, and this week (6 - 10 July), the nation plays host to the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2022, where some of the best teams in Asia will be vying for the championship title in a tournament set against the backdrop of the iconic Marina Bay Sands.
While the action takes place on the court, basketball fans will be in for a treat with half-time performances featuring artistes such as Jermaine and Gareth Fernandez, as well as exciting (free!) courtside festivities available over the weekend. Here's a glimpse of what's on offer:
Dunk Art Mural
Get creative and be part of the FIBA 3x3 Dunk Art installation! Watch as award-winning urban visual artist Zul Othman aka ZERO, works his magic on a solo basketball-themed mural. You will get to contribute to a specially created canvas that will be open to all to paint on!
Basketball Painting
You may not be able to shoot hoops with the big boys and girls on court but you can walk away with your very own bespoke basketball! Come express your creativity and bring home a one-of-a-kind memento that's perfect for your display shelf.
Timings:
Friday, 8 July and Saturday, 9 July: 4 to 8pm
Sunday, 10 July: 12 to 8pm
