EuroBasket MVP on Europe's impact on NBA: 'We got five best players in the world'

EuroBasket 2025 MVP Dennis Schroder believes the European influence on the NBA game is huge, saying the five best players right now are coming from Europe.

The EuroBasket has concluded, showcasing some of the best basketball in the world, with elite players taking center stage.

Germany's star Dennis Schroder was one of the standout performers of the tournament, leading his country to an unbeaten run and securing the gold medal, with the MVP award serving as the cherry on top for the 32-year-old.

When asked about the influence of European players on the NBA and the upcoming NBA All-Star Game under the new USA vs. World format, Schroder emphasized that many superstars are already making their mark, noting that top talent is coming from Europe and that next season's All-Star Game promises to be an exciting showcase.

"I've never made the All-Star Game, but I think we've got five players who are some of the best in the world, and they represent Europe. We've got Doncic, we've got Jokic, Franz Wagner is up there. There are so many European guys putting on a show in the NBA," Schroder said.

"And it comes from tournaments like these as well, you know — big-time tournaments, big-time players. We're just going to keep pushing for Europe, and it's going to be a great All-Star Game next season," he stated.
