The USA Basketball Foundation, together with RX3, will stage a 3×3 charity tournament this weekend, featuring a roster of NBA legends who have swapped courts for clipboards. Kevin Durant, Dawn Staley, Elena Delle Donne, Chris Bosh and a handful of other former pros will serve as celebrity coaches, guiding teams that will draft alumni from the USA Basketball pipeline through a charitable bidding system.
Coaching Lottery and Skills Showdown
Teams will place bids to select USA Basketball alumni, with the highest offers funding a suite of skills competitions that include shooting drills, one‑on‑one showdowns and a slam‑dunk contest. The action is slated to tip off at 10 a.m., promising a fast‑paced showcase that blends basketball prowess with a spirit of giving.
Tickets for the event start at $200, a price that grants fans access to the on‑court drama and the chance to support a range of charitable causes identified by the participating alumni. All proceeds are earmarked for the USA Basketball Foundation and additional nonprofits championed by the players.
Durant’s Personal Philanthropy in the Spotlight
Kevin Durant will use the platform to amplify the work of his Durant Family Foundation, which focuses on youth development, education and health initiatives. By tying his charitable outreach to the tournament, Durant hopes to draw further attention and resources toward programs that empower underserved communities across the country.
