“We are all thinking about Paris, but it’s a long way to go, first of all we would like to get acquainted with the Lithuanian audience,” said J. Okunis, President of the Lithuanian 3×3 Basketball League. – We want to see a growing interest in this sport and a culture of support. I like the fact that “Hoptrans” 3×3 Arena this year will be located in Kaunas, at the VMU Botanical Garden. I have no doubt that during summer this place will become a centre of attraction”.
