Indeed, James stands on the brink of history, needing just 12 points to surpass Vassilis Spanoulis, the current all-time leading scorer in the EuroLeague with 4455 points. This season, James boasts an average of 19.3 points per game.

Jokic's praise for Mike James resonates: "It's definitely hard to beat that record; Spanoulis is legendary. Monaco made it to the Final Four last year, and Mike does a great job leading that team. He's a ruthless scorer."
