Serbia has a new basketball savant! 🦅🔥
In this video, we dive deep into the absolutely historic tournament run by Nikola Kusturica at the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2026.
Not only did the young phenom carry Serbia to a spectacular silver medal finish and earn a well-deserved spot on the All-Star Five, but he was also officially crowned the tournament’s Best Defensive Player!
Kusturica was an absolute force on both ends of the floor, averaging an incredible 24.6 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 2.3 SPG. He saved his absolute best for last, exploding for a record-breaking 37 points in the Final against USA—the most points ever scored in a U17 World Cup Final!
From his elite three-level scoring to his elite defensive instincts at 6’7″, watch why this youngster is one of the most talked-about young prospects in European basketball.
