One of the EuroLeague's great winners
Hines is a four-time EuroLeague champion with Olympiacos Piraeus (2012 and 2013) and CSKA Moscow (2016 and 2019). Only four players in European basketball history have won the top continental crown more and Hines is one of only two, along with Sarunas Jasikevicius, to win four crowns in the modern era (starting in 2002).
He began his professional career in the Italian second division with Prima Veroli in 2008. After two seasons there, Hines moved to Germany and made his EuroLeague debut with Brose Bamberg. Then came two seasons with Olympiacos and seven with CSKA before he joined Milan. Three times the winner of the EuroLeague Best Defender Trophy (2015-16, 2017-18, 2021-22), Hines has racked up a national championship in both Germany and Greece as well as six VTB United League titles with CSKA.
An all-time chart topper
The next time Hines takes the floor, he will tie Pauliuas Jankunas for the most games played in EuroLeague history with 392. Hines is the all-time leader in offensive rebounds with 789 and will keep moving up the charts in several other categories. He enters the season ranked second in two-pointers made (1,289), third in rebounds (1,778) and blocks (308), ninth in steals (274) and 11th in scoring (3,226).
