#ZalgirisClassics. 17 years since Tanoka Beard’s untouchable EuroLeague record 0

Zalgiris TV returns to the stage with a new episode of #ZalgirisClassics. This time we invite you to relive a performance worth the record books from Zalgiris legend Tanoka Beard, who set a mark that has been untouched for 17 years.

On this day in 2004, the American big man set the all-time EuroLeague efficiency record. In a meeting with the Italian side, Beard posted 35 points, 19 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks for a total efficiency of 63.

The big man went 11-of-14 from the field, made all 13 of his free throws and drew 11 fouls in the process.

This obviously remains the best-ever performance by a Zalgiris player, with Arvydas Sabonis’ 47 efficiency lining up in second place. Marcus Brown once put up an efficiency of 43, followed by fellow Americans Justin Dentmon and Brandon Davies, who had 40 and 39, respectively.

Joffrey Lauvergne, who had a terrific night against Khimki a short while ago, also made it to the Top 10 with a 38-efficiency performance.

Zalgiris TV invites the fans to relive the full game against Skipper with Tanoka Beard’s monstrous performance on their YouTube channel.
