RIGA (Latvia) - For decades, Nikos Galis stood in a league of his own. Now, Luka Doncic has joined that elite company with a campaign that cements his place alongside the Greek legend.
The Slovenian superstar ended his quest in FIBA EuroBasket 2025 in the Quarter-Finals after averaging 34.7 points per game, becoming only the third player to average north of 30 points at the event.

2. | 1989 | Nikos Galis | Greece | 35.6 |

5. | 1991 | Nikos Galis | Greece | 32.6 |
Aside from Galis and Doncic, the only other player with 30+ points per game was Israel's Doron Jamchy with 31.9 points per game in 1987.
They could be joined by Giannis Antetokounmpo by the end of this event, as the Greek Freak is at 29.8 points per contest, with two more games left to play.
For Antetokounmpo to overtake Doncic in the top spot of the scoring charts in 2025, he would need to score at least 95 points in his last two games.
