Midway through the second quarter of a home contest against the Chiba Jets Funabashi, Nick Fazekas, the Kawasaki Brave Thunders center, nailed a free throw to record the 6,000th point of his career in Japan.
Following the game, a 77-67 loss, Fazekas said the B. League Eastern Conference club had “been good to me” and “guys that have been with me are a big reason why I’ve got the 6,000.”
“It’s been a fun ride and something one day I’ll look back on,” said Fazekas, who was the MVP of the league’s inaugural season in 2016-17.
