MARSEILLE (France) – Strahinja Stojacic of Ub (SRB) once again proved why he is considered the best player in the world, earning Most Valuable Player honors at the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Marseille 2026 on July 5 after leading his team in defending their title.
The Serbian superstar was the driving force behind Ub's championship run as they defeated Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU) 21-16 in the Final to claim their second FIBA 3x3 World Tour crown of the season.
After a rare setback in WT Ulaanbaatar last weekend and an upset loss to Barcelona (ESP) on Day 1 in Marseille, Stojacic responded in emphatic fashion, helping Ub re-establish themselves among the Pro Circuit's elite.
His defining moment came in the Semi-Finals against Fuengirola (ESP), when he erupted for 14 points, including his team's first 11, to propel Ub into the championship game.
Throughout the tournament, 'Doctor Strange' dominated every major statistical category, finishing with a tournament-best 64.8 player value, 37 total points, 38 highlights and 15 key assists.
Even though he was held to just one point in the Final, Stojacic's all-around brilliance across the weekend had already left an indelible mark on the competition.
His heroics earned him the MVP trophy and added another chapter to an already remarkable FIBA 3x3 World Tour career, as the world's No.1 player once again guided Ub to the top of the podium.
