Mike James Garners Acclaim from NBA Star Nikola Jokic Ahead of EuroLeague Scoring Record
Monaco standout Mike James continues to earn accolades, even from the NBA’s top-tier players. Reigning NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic lauded him as a “ruthless scorer” in an interview with Jordan Richard of “Swish Cultures,” praising James for his imminent achievement in the EuroLeague scoring record.
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.”
