[Levenspiel]

It's a great collection.

Btw, does anyone know the highest scorer for the Uleb Euroleague?

[ArnoldPettybone]

J.J. Eubenks once scored 101 points in a league game vs. Beitar ramat gan while playing for maccabi ramat gan. This was sometime in 1994 I think.

[Mojado]

The Bosnian record (105 points) is a hoax.This guy simply created it and it worked for him so far,as no one complained about it.So cut that one off...

[Alyosha12]

Željko Petranovic scored something over 100 points in the Slo league don't know the exact number, it wasn't too long ago too, a few years i think.

[Khalid80]

Khatib's 57 points is definitely true! (it was all over the sports news ) It still stands from 2003 and this shows what type of player he is in our league considering that he is Lebanese and that even though we had great foreigners playing here no one has been able to break his record yet

How about the Greek and Turkish records
In both countries the record is 153 points and if one player scores that many points I can't imagine what the final scores of those games were!

Greece
Aristedes Mumoglou - 153 points (1972)

Turkey
Erman Kunter - 153 points (1988)

[elaj]

Željko Petranovic scored something over 100 points in the Slo league don't know the exact number, it wasn't too long ago too, a few years i think.

Veljko, not Željko. He scored 101 points in 30 minutes. It was a Slovenian Cup game, second league team against third league team, or something like that.

[Alyosha12]

Veljko, not Željko. He scored 101 points in 30 minutes. It was a Slovenian Cup game, second league team against third league team, or something like that.

Yeah Veljko sorry about that.

So if its a Cup game do you think it should still count?

[Migelitas]

Khatib's 57 points is definitely true!

Same goes for Lithuania too. Gintaras Einikis made 30/34 2pt's against "NECA" Kaunas on 31 March 1995.

[LuDux]

USSR
Arvydas Sabonis - 53 points (1989)

Greece

Turkey
Erman Kunter - 153 points (1988)

I can confirm the Turkish record.

It was a game between Fenerbahce and Hilalspor towards the end of season and it was certain Hilalspor had already been relegated. So they played with 16 year-old kids. The result was 175-99.

I found this info about the Greek record. It says Mumoglou produced 143 points with Iraklis against VAO in 1972.

[penzias]

The info about spanish league and spanish NT are both correct but if we talk only about the ACB, which started in 1983, the record owes to Epi with 54 points.
By the way the highest scoring average in a season was set in 1977/1978 by Essie Hollis with 39.18 ppg.

Saporta Cup
Georgi Mladenov - 54 points (1993)

Petrovic scored 62 in the final of 1989.

[rikhardur]

Do you mean he invented it and everyone believed him?

Yeah Veljko sorry about that.

So if its a Cup game do you think it should still count?

I put only the national league records.
Edit: I noticed that in the webpage it says "Slovenia Professional Basketball Single-Game High Scorers:
B1 League
52 pts. Samo Udrih, Hopsi (W 123-77) Alpos Kemoplast, 11/18/2004 Cup Spar, Round 3" - was this in a Cup?

I found this info about the Greek record. It says Mumoglou produced 143 points with Iraklis against VAO in 1972.

The webpage I took it from says 143 in a part and 153 in another, what should we believe? Any Greek fellow to clear this up?

Petrovic scored 62 in the final of 1989.

You're right, corrected it.


Btw, what's the Russian record? Vaslover, anyone?
@ LuDux: Thanks for the link, fortunately I have that game

[Federoy]

USA
Kenny Anderson - 34 points (1990)

Actually, Carmelo Anthony broke this record at the 2006 World Championships against Italy with 35 points.

I heard he (Drazen Petrovic) made 21 three-point field goals in a single game... is it true?

[Migelitas]

@ LuDux: Thanks for the link, fortunately I have that game

Russian Federation Superleague

Zakhar Yuryevich Pashutin - 55 points (1998-1999)

Z. Pashutin (Avtodor, Saratov) scored 55 against Lokomotiv, Mineralnye Vody on 23 December 1998.

[Charbel Sakr]

didnt Elie Mchantaf score something like 61 once? i dont remember

[rikhardur]

- Portugal league - Sérgio Ramos - 55 (1996-1997) (Mergin Sina's 69 pts was in the 2nd division, not the 1st)
- Russia league - Zakhar Pashutin - 55 (1998)
- USA NT - Carmelo Anthony - 35 (2006)

NATIONAL TEAMS

Yugoslavia
Dražen Petrović - 48 points (1993)

That'd be Croatia.
The record for Serbia & Montenegro i guess it's 41 by Djordjevic in the final of 95.
I have no idea about the record of the unified Yugoslavia.
