Nando De Colo made more Turkish Airlines EuroLeague history on Thursday night as the LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne guard climbed up into second place on the all-time scoring chart.
De Colo entered the game against Zalgiris Kaunas with 4,145 career points, needing 7 to tie Juan Carlos Navarro (4,152). De Colo finished the game with 9 points, taking him to 4,154 for his illustrious career. The only man left in front of De Colo is Vassilis Spanoulis, who leads the all-time charts with 4,455 points.
After tying the record early in the game, De Colo waited until deep in the fourth quarter to take advantage of an opening on the baseline to score the layup that put him ahead of Navarro with 3:39 to play.
For De Colo, this is another on the long list of his achievements in the competition. A two-time EuroLeague champion, in 2016 and 2019, De Colo was chosen as the 2015-16 EuroLeague MVP and was the competition's top scorer that season, too. De Colo has also been named to the All-EuroLeague First Team and the All-EuroLeague Second Team three times each, and has been voted on the 2010-20 All-Decade team, earning MVP of the Round honors 16 times, more than any other player in competition history.
