This one's for you Whitney!

41 points (12-18 FG; 4-6 3pt; 13-13 FT), 7 assists, and only 2 turnovers with an index rating of 50. He tied the Euroleague single game scoring record and is the first player in 5 years to get an index rating of 50 and only 6th ever player to do it. :bowdown:

This could go in different ways:

- Euroleague says he's in fact just a scrub, one of the worst in Euroleague.
- Euroleague says he would be one of the best if he was in the NBA.
- You'll probably get called a "fu*king liar".

You can troll Euroleague as much as you want but since none of you probably saw the game you can't appreciate his performance. I don't care what he did in the NBA but he's playing well and his team is winning. Something Euroleague (the poster) didn't predict very well.

Here's a quote from him:

"This Sienna team is one of the worst teams in Euroleague this season and the worst Sienna team in a decade."

Oh, and you're probably wondering how the Estonian sharp shooter Kristjan Kangur played - 2 daggers from deep into Turkish hearts.

Yep. Siena isn't as strong as they've been in previous years but they're not an easy matchup by any means.

Still waiting for some youtube highlights.


Siena's Brown ties Euroleague's all-time scoring mark with 41 points!
The best scorer of the season so far joined the Turkish Airlines Euroleague record books on Friday as Bobby Brown of Montepaschi Siena tied the competition's all-time single-game scoring mark with 41 points in a thrilling, comeback road win against Fenerbahce Ulker.

Only three other players had ever reached 41 points in any Euroleague game since 2000, but none of them did so in the last decade. The late Alphonso Ford had 41 for Peristeri of Greece in 2001, the same year that Carlton Myers reached that total for PAF Bologna. One year later, Kaspars Kambala also scored 41 or Efes Pilsen. Only Kambala's total came in a game that included overtime.

Brown's 41 on Friday in Istanbul also shattered the single-game scoring record for the Top 16 round. The previous record was 37 by Sarunas Jasikevicius with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2004.

Brown made 13 of 13 free throws against FB Ulker, the seventh-most ever converted in a Euroleague game. He also shot 8 for 12 on two-pointers and 4 for 6 on threes. His dunk to finish the fourth quarter, which Siena won 19-29, gave the visitors a 92-98 victory over their former long-time coach, Simone Pianigiani, now with FB Ulker.

Brown also had 7 assists against 2 turnovers and drew 12 fouls for a total performance index rating of 50, which tied for the sixth-best in competition history. His rating matched the highest recorded in a Euroleague game since 2004, along with another 50 by Tomas Van Den Spiegel of Prokom Trefl Sopot in 2007. Brown's 50 was the second-best performance rating in any Top 16 game, behind only Jaka Lakovic's 51 for Panathinaikos in 2004.

The actual record is 99 points. 41 points is the record of the stats that Euroleague has ownership over. FIBA owns the rights to the other stats.

In other words, 41 points is the most points (by 4 players) since 2000. So it does not count the previous 42 years of the league.

For example, Korac scored 99 once. He scored 71 once.

I remember I think Arlauckas scored 63 once. Galis scored over 50 like 4-5 times. Etc. There are probably a lot more such examples. I'm just going off some by memory.

Bobby Brown never was very athletic. Did he all of a sudden become this super athlete? Better than Rose, Wall, Bledsoe, Westbrook, Nate disagree, to name a few. You always have to go overboard, which is why you're disliked by many posters here.

Tone down the attitude and reactions a bit, be more realistic and people will appreciate you and your posts a bit more. Way better method to get your message across here.

Brown is skilled. Maybe he's very athletic compared to some players in the Euroleague, where pure athletics are less important than fundamental skills, especially compared to the NBA. But come on.

Euroleague
01-04-2013, 08:10 PM
Well, FIBA does list the high games since 1991. I found it after searching.

Joe Arlauckas - 63 - 1995–96

Michael Young - 47 - 1993-94

Nikos Galis - 46 - 1991–92

Velimir Perasović - 45 - 1991–92

Ivica Žurić - 45 - 1993–94

Nikos Galis - 44 - 1991–92

Nikos Galis - 44 - 1991–92

Tony Dawson - 43 - 1996–97

Zdravko Radulović - 42 - 1991–92

Zdravko Radulović - 42 - 1991–92

İbrahim Kutluay - 41 - 1998–99

Alphonso Ford 41 - 2000–01

Carlton Myers - 41- 2000–01

Kaspars Kambala - 41 - 2002-03

Bobby Brown - 41 - 2012-13


So, Euroleague keeps the stats since 2000, and FIBA keeps them since 1991 available online. But unfortunately, neither one of them lists the stats prior to 1991.

In a 2 game playoff series against Swedish League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Basketball_League) champions Alvik Basket (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alvik_Basket&action=edit&redlink=1), during the 1964-65 season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIBA_European_Champions_Cup_1964-65) of the FIBA European Champions Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroleague) (Euroleague), he scored 170 points.

Yeah I agree. The poster "Euroleague" has made it so there can be no real discussion about Euroleague in this forum. It's especially too bad for (the mainly European) fans of the NBA and Euroleague who should have the opportunity to educate "NBA only" fans about basketball in the Euroleague but instead he poster "Euroleague" has created an atmosphere where any mention of Euroleague is turned into an ongoing joke of how bad Euroleague is.

It's unfortunate because, although obviously not as good as the NBA. Euroleague has some high level basketball but now it is at the point where there can be no serious rational discussion about it.

The most ironic thing is that Euroleague (I think) just wants American fans to respect Euroleague but with his outrageous exaggerations (Euroleague is better than the NBA, Spanoulis is the 3rd best player on the planet) combined with his almost comical insults, vulgar language and personal attacks actually have the opposite effect and make Euroleague more of a joke for American fans on this forum.

Right. Although I believe it's just a same basketball, but different game (yes as in same animal/different beast). Some skill-mental-sets translate into FIBA basketball better, and some into NBA. Both are high level leagues, just that I feel the superior marketing of NBA plays an enormous role in the perception and comparison of those two leagues.
As I say, in NBA they play matchups/personel, while in Europe the running plays/system are preffered. Some can thrive with being let do what they want, and some rather play their role/cog in the system. That's how it works.

Bobby Brown full highlights!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Fz9u7Cmb-H8

I'm gonna be future repped!
From the highlights it looks like his speed and ability to get into the paint was just too much for the opposition.

That and the defense was really bad. Shouldn't have been switching on him at all because once he got the mismatch it was over.

He doesn't look like that bad of a player, but context is important.

Yeah I agree. The poster "Euroleague" has made it so there can be no real discussion about Euroleague in this forum. It's especially too bad for (the mainly European) fans of the NBA and Euroleague who should have the opportunity to educate "NBA only" fans about basketball in the Euroleague but instead he poster "Euroleague" has created an atmosphere where any mention of Euroleague is turned into an ongoing joke of how bad Euroleague is.

It's unfortunate because, although obviously not as good as the NBA. Euroleague has some high level basketball but now it is at the point where there can be no serious rational discussion about it.

The most ironic thing is that Euroleague (I think) just wants American fans to respect Euroleague but with his outrageous exaggerations (Euroleague is better than the NBA, Spanoulis is the 3rd best player on the planet) combined with his almost comical insults, vulgar language and personal attacks actually have the opposite effect and make Euroleague more of a joke for American fans on this forum.

Anderson was the go-to-guy with Maccabi. They got to the Playoffs, where they were upset by Partizan. He had an important role in Barcelona, replacing Mickeal mid-season. He was the MVP of the Copa del Rey, also. Barcelona was the main Euroleague contender that year. Brown accomplishment so far is a great half season, in an average team.

I can confirm that article is in Serbian. I would translate it to you but it's pretty long so I don't really want to write that much

Name of the article is: thank you comrades
Above the title it writes: "Korać scored 99 points and it's the main reason why Beograd defeated Swedish champion Albik with a score of 155:57

Here is the video of Bobby Brown's 41 point performance:

Anderson is a huge ball hog with incredibly low basketball IQ. He is perfect for NBA. He belongs in the clown flying circus. Don't tell gabepizza Siena is an average team - I did that and got trolled hundreds of times since saying I was wrong and lying.

gabepizza is a ****ing nutcase. He claimed Hilton Armstrong would win Euroleague MVP, even guaranteed it. He has said over and over that Siena will make the final four this year. He said over and over that Deron Williams played in Euroleague.

He said many times that Jordan Farmar was the best point guard to ever play in Euroleague, etc. The guy is a super creepy freak.

What the **** is wrong with you? They didn't allow foreign or "naturalized" players to play in Greece until the 1990s.............

Greece's national teams have a law they have to abide by that no "naturalized" citizens can ever play on them. Mike Batiste wanted to play for Greece but he was never allowed to because he is not Greek. He even was eligible for Greek citizenship and would NOT have been allowed on the national team. You have to have Greek citizenship at birth, and have Greek descendant blood, or you cannot play on the national team.

Just because Team USA allows naturalized players does not mean every other country does. Teams like Greece, China, Lithuania NEVER allowed any naturalized players.

Brown had 22 points and 5 huge ones in the last few seconds of the game to pull off an insane comeback.

Brown - 22 points/6 assists/3 steals/3 turnovers

Spanoulis was bad but he played great in the end of the game , reason they lost is Acie Law :facepalm , it's funny how comentator was saying Law is known to be a clutch player before he missed that open lay up .

Anway game should have gone to OT but refs didn't noticed that clock stoped and thats why Brown was able to score of a fastbreak .

And what's up with giving Brown 3 fts , yes it was a foul but you need to call it when it happeneds and not 5 seconds after .

Siena now has good chances to reach top 8 but if they go against CSKA in top 8 they will lose even if Brown scores 50 points every game so they need to continue working .

Galis was born in New Jersey. Played High School ball in New Jersey, and played College ball for Seton Hall. He was drafted by the Celtics, then released after he suffered an injury. He then decided to spend the rest of his career hiding in Greece, despite being offered contracts by multiple NBA teams. I guess he enjoyed being a big fish in a small pond, which is understandable.
