For the second straight Summer Games, 3×3 basketball is back at the Olympics. While the American men are in the Olympics for the first time after failing to qualify for Tokyo in 2021, the women’s squad is aiming to defend its gold medal.
The U.S. women’s team features stars from the college and pro game – like Hailey Van Lith and Dearica Hamby – and veterans of 3×3 basketball like Cierra Burdick. The men’s team includes former collegiate All-American Jimmer Fredette, and Canyon Barry – the son of Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry.
All 3×3 basketball games for both the men and women will be live on the NBC streaming service Peacock, while some select games will also air on the USA Network, E!, and CNBC. The gold medal game is on NBC on Aug. 5 at 4:05 p.m. ET.
And your broadcasters for every 3×3 game will be the team of Krista Blunk and Kyle Montgomery.
Blunk has worked as a play-by-play voice covering soccer, volleyball, softball and basketball for the Pac-12 Network, Westwood One and ESPN. She’s currently the play-by-play voice of the Las Vegas Aces. Blunk also played college basketball at Evansville and professionally in Australia. She was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022.
Montgomery has worked as broadcaster for 3×3 basketball for several years, including the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. He’s also been a host and sideline reporter for the Los Angeles Clippers, an anchor on NFL Network and an anchor for NBA Gametime.
Blunk and Montgomery will call games from NBC Sports’ International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Connecticut, according to NBC.
