Also, Gordić is ABA League's 2nd best scorer of all-time. He has scored 2,798 points in total, which is just 6 points less than Cibona's captain Marin Rozić has scored so far in his ABA League career (2,804).

Special mention

As we are in the first week of the new year, let's remember one of the most historic ABA League achievements which happened on January 3, 2004. Back then, current Mega Bemax head coach Dejan Milojević played for Budućnost VOLI and he recorded a historic achievement in Round 15 of the 2003/04 ABA League regular season by collecting 59 index points in the match against Lovćen 1947 Bemax. In that match Milojević had 35 points (15/19 FG, 3/4 FT), 18 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals. His overall valuation of 59 is still the highest ever recorded valuation in a single game in the ABA League.
