Feldmanis: European Cup title confirms strength of Latvian 3x3 basketball

Latvia's national 3x3 basketball team has won the European Cup title, with the tournament held in Antwerp. Following the competition, head coach Raimonds Feldmanis commented on the achievement, noting that, in theory, the team had competed without its strongest, most optimal possible lineup.

Despite this, the coach emphasized that this very circumstance makes the title an even more significant proof of quality. According to Feldmanis, the fact that the European Cup was won by a squad that was not, in theory, the strongest possible combination of players confirms the high class and strength currently present in Latvian 3x3 basketball as a whole.

Coach's assessment

As head coach, Feldmanis is responsible for preparing Latvia's 3x3 basketball team for international tournaments. His comment following the win in Antwerp highlights not so much the specifics of individual games, but a broader conclusion about the state of Latvian 3x3 basketball — namely, that success can be achieved with different squad compositions, not only with the theoretically strongest possible lineup.

The European Cup is an international 3x3 basketball tournament featuring national teams from multiple countries. Latvia's victory in this competition was secured in Antwerp, marking the latest confirmation of the achievements of the team led by Feldmanis in this basketball discipline.
