Just read this on ESPN...Absurd. How does one guy who averages 7.6 points a game put up 69 shots in one game, 59 of them being 3 pointers? I can't even imagine doing that in a game...

Did you catch that final score? 170-something to 140-something. Ridiculous.

a lot of bricking :), but then again he did make 32 threes, which is insane...

though I seriously doubt the competition for the Asian Fiba Games, pro or no pro, I doubt there's actually much talent in those leagues

171-140?

I think Doug Moe was coaching against Paul Westhead.

It was in the Lebanese national league, which is probably the best in Asia, and they never have scores like that, usually.
The special circumstances for this game were, as far as I have gathered from comments on FIBAs facebook page, as follows:

The opposing team is in financial troubles (probably going bankrupt) and will be thrown out of the league. The team decided to throw this game by using only bench players and not play any real defense. Soon Akarri just stood on the front court catching passes and shooting. His coach kept him in for the entire game, probably to let him have this record.

Lebanon has a very good national team, and has qualified for the FIBA World Cup for the last three tournaments. Akarri has never been called up.

This must be some kind of record: "Most points scored by a player averaging less than 10 points" or such.

Now imagine Akarri one day shooting the breeze with his grandchildren, talking about that game. Sweet.

There must have been some mutual agreement to just let each other chuck up 3's.

Just think if you picked him in PAPOUPG?  You'd be +105.4!

Dude had no conscious.  No D in that league really.  FIBA D is not high caliber.

If that ESPN guy hadn't been fired for the Jeremy Lin "Chink in the Armor" headline, would the story about this on the website have had a headline about a Lebanese Bomber?
