The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France are just months away, and on Tuesday, the USA’s 3×3 basketball team was selected.
Among the players selected was former Gator Canyon Barry, who will be a part of the squad alongside former NBA player Jimmer Fredette, as well as Kareem Maddox and Dylan Travis.
Barry started his collegiate basketball career in 2013 at the College of Charleston, before transfering to the Gators in 2016.
The son of Basketball Hall of Famer Rick was successful in his lone season at UF, especially at the free throw line, where he employed his father’s signature “granny style” shot.
Barry set the Gators team record with 42 straight free-throws made in 2017, and he was named the SEC 6th-Man of the Year, as well as an NCAA Academic All-American.
Following his collegiate career, Barry played multiple seasons in the NBA G-League, as well as overseas.
He has been extremely successful in his 3×3 career, winning both a gold and silver medal in the FIBA 3×3 World Cup.
3×3 basketball is played in the half court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock, and the first team to score 21 points, or whoever is leading when time expires, wins.
The 3×3 basketball competition is set for July 30-Aug. 5.
