Basketball: Monaco’s Mike James achieves new heights as member of All-25 EuroLeague Team

AS Monaco Basketball’s Mike James, who was voted Most Valuable Player of the 2023/24 EuroLeague season, has been selected to join the prestigious list of players honoured in the All-25 EuroLeague Team, alongside titans of the game such as Nando De Colo, Nikola Vujcic and his current coach, Vassilis Spanoulis.

In honour of its 25th anniversary in its current format, the EuroLeague has created the All-25 EuroLeague Team. The initiative celebrates players who have helped build the reputation of both the competition and the sport in Europe over the last quarter-century.

The first batch of players to join the team – Nando De Colo, Sergio Llull, Ramunas Siskauskas, Vassilis Spanoulis and Nikola Vujcic – was announced at the end of February, followed by the latest intake, which includes Monaco’s Mike James, in early March.

James was crowned Most Valuable Player of the 2023/24 EuroLeague competition by a coterie of fans, media figures, head coaches and team captains.

The 34-year-old Oregon native is the league’s all-time leader in terms of points scored and is the only player to have ever produced more than 5,000 career points during his 11 seasons in the EuroLeague. He joined AS Monaco Basketball from CSKA Moscow in 2022 and has proved fundamental to the Roca Team’s ambitions to establish itself on the European stage.

Alongside James, the second round of entrants into the All-25 Team includes Dimitris Diamantidis, Vasilije Micic, Anthony Parker and Sergio Rodriguez.
