During the morning portion, Onyenwere took part in a live Twitter chat with the Associated Press, which allowed fans to ask questions with the hashtag #APBKW.
Yes, I really like 3x3 basketball! It's super different than 5 on 5, but it's still a really great experience. I think if the opportunity presented itself to me again, I would be open to playing 3x3 more! #APBKW https://t.co/f6OmTDijM8
