LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne guard Nando De Colo added another record to his impressive career resume, becoming the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague all-time leader in free throws made on Thursday night.
In ASVEL's 66-75 home loss against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, De Colo made 8 free throws on as many attempts, getting his career count to 1,135, passing the previous all-time leader Vassilis Spanoulis who was sitting atop of the chart with 1,131 free throws made. The next best player on the all-time list is the reigning MVP Mike James of AS Monaco with 1,069.
De Colo accomplished this feat in his 312th career game, and now he is both the man with the most free throws made, and the best free-throw shooting percentage (93.0%) in EuroLeague this century.
De Colo, the three-time EuroLeague champ, is also the all-time leader in PIR with 5,256 index rating points, and ranks second all-time in scoring with 4,673 points.
De Colo is in fifth place all-time in steals (351), sixth all-time in two-point shots made (1,046), 10th all-time in assists (1,136), and 12th all-time with 482 career three-pointers made.
