Two spots in the 2015 FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final will be up for grabs as the 3×3 fever once again hits the Metro with Manila Masters.

Terrence Romeo is expected to once again lead one of the three Philippine teams in the first leg of this year’s 3×3 series, to be held on August 1 and 2 event at Robinson’s Place Ermita.

SBP Executive Director Sonny Barrios said that the core of the Manila West team, composed of Romeo, Aldrech Ramos, Nino Canaleta, and Rey Guevarra, might still be fielded in, as well as another team made up of PBA players, and the Cebuano team which won the Under-18 Talk ‘N Text Tatluhan Challenge.

“Optimism will be borne out of results, and I think we have a bright future in the 3×3 Worlds,” he said.

Following the Manila Masters, other legs will be held on Prague, Beijing, Lausanne, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro, with the top two teams advancing to the 3×3 World Tour Final in Abu Dhabi on October 15 and 16.
