The NBA mourns the passing of Oscar Schmidt (1958-2026). The Brazilian
basketball legend debuted for Brazil at 19 in 1977 and played in every
Olympics from 1980 to 1996. Oscar’s the all-time leading scorer in Olympic
history with more than 1,000 points and was inducted into the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013. We extend our deepest condolences
to the Schmidt family.
巴西傳奇Oscar Schmidt於今日過世,享年68歲
他被譽為沒打過NBA最偉大的球員,職業生涯總得分49973分
打過7次奧運會,在1988年漢城奧運5場平均41分
是奧運總得分最高的球員(1093分)
在1984年的選秀會上,Schmidt在第六輪被籃網隊選中
但因為薪水低於在義大利的合約
且當時NBA球員無法為國家隊參戰
最終他並未進入NBA
Schmidt於2013年入選籃球名人堂
