AMSTERDAM (Netherlands) - The FIBA 3x3 World Tour Amsterdam 2026 is loaded with talent as some of the biggest stars in the game arrive fresh off a thrilling FIBA 3x3 World Cup and recent FIBA 3x3 World Tour action. Here are the players who could hog the spotlight at the NDSM Wharf in the Dutch capital.
Strahinja Stojacic (Ub SRB)
You can never have a players-to-watch list without Doctor Strange. Stojacic once again demonstrated why he remains one of the sport's biggest stars after helping Serbia secure third place at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026. Now his attention turns back to the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, where he will be looking to lead top-seeded Ub to a second title of the season. When Stojacic is orchestrating the offense and hunting buckets, Ub are always the team to beat.
James Parrott (Miami USA)
Parrott returns to the FIBA 3x3 World Tour with something to prove. The high-flyer was part of a USA squad that endured a disappointing eighth-place finish at the recent FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026, but he now has the opportunity to bounce back quickly in Amsterdam. Already a FIBA 3x3 World Tour winner this season, Parrott will be eager to help Miami capture a second win and reaffirm their status among the elite contenders.
Niklas Kropp (Skyliners GER)
Few players have boosted their reputation more in 2026 than Kropp. The German standout has emerged as one of the breakout stars of the FIBA 3x3 World Tour. He also helped Germany secure a historic runner-up finish at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026. He has carried that confidence into Amsterdam and will look to lead Skyliners on a deep run after their Quarter-Finals appearance in Vienna. Expect the versatile Kropp to be at the center of everything Skyliners do.
Worthy de Jong (Amsterdam RABOBANK NED)
The Flying Dutchman arrives in front of his home fans in sensational form. De Jong earned MVP honors in Vienna after leading Amsterdam RABOBANK to their first FIBA 3x3 World Tour title of the season. Few players can match his combination of athleticism, playmaking and clutch shot-making. The next challenge? Delivering Amsterdam's first-ever FIBA 3x3 World Tour triumph on home soil.
Karlis Lasmanis (Shanghai CHN)
The Latvian legend is enjoying another memorable season. Lasmanis captained Latvia to their first-ever FIBA 3x3 World Cup title and now turns his attention to helping Shanghai secure a breakthrough FIBA 3x3 World Tour victory this year. One of the most accomplished players in 3x3 basketball history, Lasmanis has built a reputation for rising to the occasion when the stakes are highest.
Nico Kaltenbrunner (Vienna AUT)
Vienna's floor general returns to the spotlight after missing FIBA 3x3 World Tour Vienna 2026. Kaltenbrunner's last FIBA 3x3 World Tour appearance came at the Utsunomiya Opener, where Vienna struggled to make an impact. However, the Austrian star remains one of the game's most creative playmakers. After helping Austria finish seventh at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026, he is determined to guide Vienna through qualifying and into championship contention.
Fabian Giessmann (Baskets Bonn GER)
Germany's remarkable FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026 campaign was fueled by Giessmann's all-around brilliance. Fresh off helping his country claim a historic silver medal, the versatile playmaker also led Baskets Bonn to a third-place finish in Vienna. With confidence at an all-time high, Giessmann will be aiming to push Bonn toward their first-ever FIBA 3x3 World Tour title.
Franck Seguela (Toulouse FRA)
Whenever Seguela steps on the half-court, excitement follows. The French star has yet to capture a major win in 2026 and missed the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026, making Amsterdam an ideal opportunity to reignite his season. Toulouse will rely heavily on Seguela's scoring punch and leadership as they seek to improve on their ninth-place finish at the WT Utsunomiya Opener and challenge the tournament favorites.
With established superstars, FIBA 3x3 World Cup heroes and rising talents all converging on Amsterdam, fans can expect plenty of highlights when the action tips off.
