Tony Parker became the all-time leading scorer in the history of EuroBasket with a bucket early in Monday’s group game between France and Poland.
Pending further scoring with more than 35 minutes still to play, Parker pushed his total to 1,032 points in 62 games, two more than long-time record holder Nikos Galis.
Galis played in just 33 games at EuroBasket, leading Greece to the 1987 championship before retiring in 1994. His scoring average of 31.2 points will likely never be broken.
“I’ve seen Galis do things I never saw in the NBA,” three-time NBA scoring champion Bob McAdoo once said as he finished his professional career in Europe.
