MIES (Switzerland) - 3x3 wonder women left their mark in 2025 and here were the cream of the crop.
Noortje Driessen (Netherlands)
There is no disputing who wears the crown in the women's game to end 2025. The championship belt goes to this Dutch superstar, who went up a level to become the very best women's player in the game after a season for the ages.
Driessen showed off why she is such an athletic marvel after submitting surely the GOAT individual season in 3x3 women's history. She won so many MVPs that her trophy cabinet is bulging after walking away with the top prize at the World Cup, Europe Cup and several Women's Series Stops.
It's totally unfair that she is equally great on offense and defense to be the two-way gold standard.
The Netherlands were basically unbeatable when the 26-year-old stepped on the half-court and she has laid a marker for all rivals to strive for in 2026.
Janis Ndiba (Netherlands)
Trivia question. Who finished No.1 on the official rankings? No, it wasn't Driessen who did tumble because she missed the backend of the season. The top dog status goes to her sidekick Janis Ndiba, who was the perfect partner-in-crime.
She formed a two-headed monster with Driessen to ensure the Dutchwomen were basically impregnable on the half-court. Tall, athletic and competitive, Ndiba is dynamic on both sides of the ball to be the prototype 3x3 player.
The towering 28-year-old deserves her year-end top ranking and she'll no doubt be even better in 2026.
Khulan Onolbaatar (Mongolia)
What's the most spine-tingling moment of 2025? It just has to be Onolbaatar's heroic deeds at her home World Cup to inspire Mongolia to a historic silver medal.
For so long, Onolbaatar has been the heartbeat of her team and the go-to in the clutch and she proved those characteristics at the World Cup. There is no doubt statues will be built one day to honor the legacy of this Mongolian marvel, who also had a medal draped around her neck at the Asia Cup right at the start of what turned out to be an amazing year for this 3x3 hero.
Sandra Ygueravide (Spain)
There are many wonder women in 3x3. But there is only one ageless woman and that's Sandra Ygueravide, who just somehow defies physics and just gets better and better.
This legendary Spaniard completed another year where Ygueravide schooled youngsters to ensure she's the baddest near 41-year-old on the planet - sorry, LeBron!
Ygueravide once again put everything on the line to ensure she won another medal at her favored Europe Cup, another achievement in one of 3x3's most accomplished careers.
Saicha Grant-Allen (Canada)
There is a new SGA in town. With apologies to compatriot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, this Canadian is known globally after her exploits in 2025.
She has been on fire all season, starting off with an MVP at the historic Champions Cup. This cool, calm Canadian continued to drop buckets all season and the 30-year-old was also part of their bronze medal effort at the World Cup.
Canada has produced a long line of superstars on the half-court and she's the latest to emerge.
Hortense Limouzin (CS Rapid Bucharest)
This French wizard was one of the absolute standouts on the Women's Series, the driving force behind CS Rapid Bucharest (ROU) who finished the regular season high in the standings.
Limouzin more than lived up the hype and she was ultra-consistent to ensure the Romanian commercial team were always a threat. There was not a more eye-catching player than Limouzin, who finished No.1 in numerous categories including highlights - of course! - and buzzer beaters.
The diminutive Limouzin proves that you don't have to be a giant on the half-court.
