COPENHAGEN (Denmark) - Get ready for the best men's players on the continent to put on a show at the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup 2025 on September 5-7. As we count down to this year's biggest event in Europe, let's look at the top players to watch as the 10th edition of the continental crown is fought in Denmark's beautiful capital.
Strahinja Stojacic (Serbia)
"Dr.Strange" has never been better, leading unstoppable Ub (SRB) to dub after dub on the World Tour. But there is good reason for 'Doctor Strange' to be motivated with Serbia unusually going through a lean period at the international level.
After a shock early elimination ended their Paris Olympic dreams, Serbia's quest for a crazy sixth straight Europe Cup ended with a dramatic defeat against Austria at a raucous Vienna in last year's edition.
Serbia also fell short of defending their World Cup crown earlier this year meaning they are extra hungry for a title. And they will look to Stojacic to get them going at an event he has previously walked away with the MVP.
Given his red-hot form, 'Doctor Strange' will be the strong favorite to add another and continue this crazy purple patch.
Jules Rambaut (France)
With superstar Franck Seguela absent, big fella Jules Rambuat will need to step up and the Olympic silver medalist has handled the burden superbly in the past.
France have a modest record at the Europe Cup, winning just one medal previously and they will be fired up to become continental winners for the first time.
The giant Frenchman has proven that he is stronger than Rambo and just loves the big moments. In what is turning into a legendary career, Rambaut has repeatedly hit huge shots and had ice in his veins when it matters most. Rambaut also has the swagger that is infectious with his teammates, who are inspired to stand next to him. He looms as a fan favorite in Copenhagen with his growing number of fans going stir crazy every time the muscular Rambaut hits a dagger and flexes in celebration.
Titas Janusevicius (Lithuania)
The New Gen of Lithuanian 3x3 has arrived with Titas Janusevicius ready to explode in his Europe Cup debut. After a decorated youth career, the 24-year-old is making a name for himself at the pro level having shown glimpses at the World Cup. Lithuania have a proud record, making the final four in the last five Europe Cup, but they've never gone all the way. If TJ has a breakout on the big stage then a new Europe Cup winner might just be crowned.
Quincy Diggs (Austria)
No one at the famous Kaiserwiese had dry eyes when Austria claimed a memorable first-ever Europe Cup triumph on their home half-court. But scoring machine Diggs had to watch on the sidelines, fuelling his hunger as Austria bid to defend their crown.
Diggs is one of the very best pure scorers in the business and arrives in Copenhagen in hot form having taken out the MVP at WT Debrecen. If there is an early autumn heatwave in Copenhagen it will be because this certified bucket getter is on fire.
Fabian Giessmann (Germany)
We've been charting his rise for a long time - with good reason for a dude who is 3x3's Wemby. The towering 6ft.9in (2.07m) does things that should not be possible with the Wilson due to his insane skill-set. Labelling him as a unicorn doesn't even do him justice, it's like an alien has landed on the half-court and produced things we've never seen before.
He is clearly foreshadowing what's ahead for 3x3. Giessmann has risen the ranks during an outstanding 2025, where he memorably led Germany on a golden run at the World Cup. He's not satisfied with that as Giessmann aims to lead Germany to a historic first Europe Cup medal.
