The Euroleague, as the website “basketnews.com” reports, intends to stop the game to emphasize the big event and award James at that moment, on the floor.
If James makes the shot, two-pointer or three-pointer that surpasses Spanoulis in the first half of the game, then the game will be suspended immediately so the officials can proceed with his award. If this is achieved in the second part, then depending on the progress of the match, it will be chosen whether the match will be stopped immediately or the referees will wait for the next phase. That is, if the two teams are on point and the match is a “thriller”, then logically in order not to interrupt the rhythm, then the Euroleague will proceed to award the new top scorer of all time at the first interruption of the timer.
In fact, Mike James will receive the match ball as a gift and the match will continue with a “backup” ball, that is, the second one.
Monaco’s American guard Mike James has 4,427 points before the Game 27 jam (2/29-1/3) in 269 games so far. Vassilis Spanoulis remains first at the moment, but in the next few races he will see James leave him in second place. Kill-Bill scored 4,455 points in 358 games, the worst average compared to the next leading scorer of all time. Specifically, Spanoulis “hung up his shoes” averaging 12.4 points per game. Although he is first in total points, he is in 48th place in average. James is 3rd in average points with 16.5, while the late Alphonso Ford, who wore the shirt of Peristerio and Olympiakos, remains first in average points, with 22.2 average points.
The first American, following Mike James, in total points so far in the relevant Euroleague table is Kyle Hines (11th) with 3,322 points.
Monaco play in Barcelona on Friday, March 1 for matchday 27, followed by a home match once morest Red Star on Thursday, March 7, for matchday 28.
In the current season, Mike James is the leading scorer with an average of 19.4 points per game, shooting 50% on 2-pointers and 43.3% on 3-pointers.
