Welcome to the league

The INL is a dynamic, 3-on-3 professional basketball league crafted for the game's elite players. Established in March 2026 by semi-pro athlete Willie Johnson, the INL is determined to refute the notion that 3-on-3 basketball lacks entertainment and competitive appeal. The league's objective is to challenge this perception by featuring the region's most exceptional isolation, defensive, and offensive talents. With six professional teams headquartered in North Carolina, the INL aims to reshape the basketball landscape by integrating a hybrid of NBA and Big 3 rules, introducing a novel format to the sport.
