'We're pioneers' - 3x3 basketball set for Tokyo 2020

The IOC has approved the introduction of three-on-three basketball for Tokyo 2020.

Unlike five-on-five basketball, the game is played on half a basketball court, with the aim of scoring 21 points. If no team scores 21 points, the team with the highest point total wins the match.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Caroline Barker spoke to Dutch 3x3 player Jesper Jobse, and first asked why he started playing 3x3 basketball.
