We dive deep into the storylines, throw out some Hot Takes or Cold Truths, and close things out with the return of our Power 5 rankings.

The biggest continental stage in 3x3 basketball is headed to Copenhagen, and we’ve got you covered with a full Europe Cup 2025 preview.

Bas, Kyle, and Vince dive into the storylines, squads, and stars that will define this year’s tournament: Who’s desperate to finally grab a title? Which sleeper picks could shock the world? Who are the clear favorites to win it all? And which players should you keep both eyes on when the action tips off? We’re also handing out our “lottery picks” to teams that just might pull off a miracle run if everything falls into place.

Plus: a little Copenhagen travel advice for Kyle, who’s making his first trip to Denmark.
