Zdenko Babić
Zdenko Babić (born c. 1960) is a retired Croatian basketball player. He is best known for scoring 144 points in a single game, a record in FIBA-sanctioned competition. On 10 October 1985, Babić scored 144 points playing for KK Zadar in a game of the 1985–86 Korać Cup against APOEL B.C. of Cyprus. The first game of the two-legged tie between the two clubs had been won by KK Zadar with the score of 121–40. This gave Zadar's coach Vlade Đurović an idea of attempting to surpass the then-recent Yugoslav First League record of 112 points in a game, set by Dražen Petrović. He proposed this idea to Petar Popović, the club's top scorer, but he declined, and so did the other Zadar's leading players. Babić, Zadar's sixth man, ultimately accepted the task of record-breaking. When the game started, the local crowd quickly realized what was going on and enthusiastically cheered Babić on whenever he scored. He needed only 26 minutes to reach 113 points, ending with a total of 144. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sixth Man
The sixth man in basketball is a player who is not a starter but comes off the bench much more often than other reserves, often being the first player to be substituted in. The sixth man often plays minutes equal to or exceeding some of the starters and posts similar statistics. He is often a player who can play multiple positions, hence his utility in substituting often. For example, Kevin McHale, a famous sixth man who played for the Boston Celtics in the 1980s, variably played center and power forward. The presence of a good sixth man is often a sign of team excellence. It usually means that a team has excellent depth, as the sixth man is usually more than talented enough to start for most teams. A common strategy is to place a good scorer as a sixth man when the starting lineup already has enough scorers. In this case, the sixth man will enter the game without the team suffering a drop-off in scoring. This was used during the Chicago Bulls' championship runs with forward T ...

1985–86 Yugoslav First Basketball League
The 1985–86 Yugoslav First Basketball League season was the 42nd season of the Yugoslav First Basketball League, the highest professional basketball league in SFR Yugoslavia. Notable events Dražen Petrović's 112-point game The first week of fixtures on 5 October 1985 included a game in Zagreb at Dom Sportova's small hall between Cibona and visiting Smelt Olimpija—a contest that would go down in history for Dražen Petrović's Yugoslav Basketball League single-game scoring record as well as the strange circumstance that allowed it to happen. Due to Olimpija general manager Radovan Lorbek reportedly being late with submitting a registration letter to the Yugoslav Basketball Federation (KSJ) headquarters in Belgrade, the visiting team failed to fulfill their player-registration administrative obligations in time, rendering their entire first team roster ineligible for the regular season opening game. Olimpija were thus forced to field players from their youth system. Sending ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
