Triple Crown are three major tournaments in basketball "Horse" version, which includes Grand Prix, World Championship and Masters. These tournaments were formally named the Triple Crown or simply majors. Traditionally, Grand Prix is held on February in Paris, as first event of season, World Championship on July-August in Madrid, and Masters on October-November in Milan, as the last tournament of year.
Any player who has won all three Triple Crown tournaments at least once over the course of their career is said to have won a "career Triple Crown". As of 2024, there are: Mariusz Krulikowski, Michael Eric, Sebastian Alvarez and Pablo Vinales.
Krulikowski is only player who completed all majors twice and won all three during calendar year. He also has most Triple Crown total titles, with 10.
World Championship is highest paid when the winner receives 500000$, Masters has 250000$ prize for winner and Grand Prix 100000$. Grand Prix includes 16 best players by ratings, World Championship - 32 players and Masters - Top 16 members. World Championship is only event, which has qualifiers.
Krulikowski, Eric, Videt, Vinales and Alvarez all held number one position.
These tournaments began to be organized in 2012. Since then, the Awards of the Year have been held in December of each year.
In 2024, the sport was rocked by large-scale scandals of agreed matches, betting and corruption. This led to long-term or final suspensions from the game by 9 players and 2 referees.
