We thought that Paris Basketball was not going to lose a single match until the end of time, but Théo Maledon decided otherwise. The ASVEL leader performed well again last night to put an end to the capital team's crazy streak.
Paris Basket remained on ten victories in a row. Paris Basket represented the most beautiful story in French basketball at the start of the season. Paris Basket was even at the top of the EuroLeague.
But Théo Maledon had absolutely nothing to do with all that.
No need for a scoreboard when the trash talk’s this intense! ????

Last night at the Astroballe, the 23-year-old French leader scored 22 points in 31 minutes (5/11 shooting, 10/11 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 interceptions as a bonus. Very well accompanied by Mbaye Ndiaye (19 points, 6 rebounds), Maledon – clutch as it should – guided ASVEL to victory 98-93. Even TJ Shorts (29 points) couldn't resist.
“I’m so proud of everyone, we all raised our level of play. […] We weren’t afraid of them, we believed in ourselves, we didn’t back down from anyone.” – Théo Maledon
This new XXL release from Maledon is in line with these last EuroLeague matches. Here are his performances for the month:
- 31 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists vs Olympiakos
- 26 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists vs Belgrade
- 24 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists vs Monaco
- 17 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists vs Efes Istanbul
- 23 points, 2 rebonds, 7 passes vs Real Madrid
- 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists vs Milan
- 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists vs Paris
Not a bad boy.
