At the match of the 23rd round between Partizan NIS and Zadar, Stefan Birčević achieved 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 1 assist and a valuation of 33 during the 35 minutes spent on court. This was the second highest individual valuation amongst all players this round (behind Josh Scott of MZT Skopje Aerodrom who collected 35) and the highest amongst the players that celebrated victories this round which earned him the MVP of the round award.

However, the fact that Birčević did not use his quality just to rise on the top of the statistical categories, but also pushed his team to the victory by creating 9 points of advantage together with teammates during his 35 minutes spent on court, is what makes his performance even more impressive.

Take a look at some of the fancy plays made by Stefan Birčević during his performance against Zadar:

The other players that have marked the 23rd round of the season with their individual performances are the top scorer Boris Barać of Zadar, who scored 27 points in the same game, top rebounders Nikola Janković of Union Olimpija and Đorđe Milošević of Igokea, top passer Gregor Hrovat of Union Olimpija, who dished out 8 assists in the game against Budućnost VOLI and top ball thieves, Boris Savović (Budućnost VOLI), Stefan Jović (Crvena zvezda mts), Gregor Hrovat (Union Olimpija) and Dejan Davidovac (FMP), which collected four steals each.
