Hereda San Pablo Burgos’ Thad McFadden went all-round to become the first player with 15+ points, 5+ rebounds and 5+ assists in the Final of the Basketball Champions League, winning the MVP trophy as well.<\/p>\n
McFadden had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in 23 minutes off the bench, leading Hereda San Pablo Burgos to an 85-74 win over AEK in OAKA. The point guard also scored 18 against Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem in the Quarter-Finals, and had 6 points and 3 steals in the convincing win over JDA Dijon in the Semi-Finals.<\/p>\n
Thad was the star that Burgos needed to complete their unreal story, becoming a pro club in 2015 and climbing the top of the BCL mountain in 2020.<\/p>\n
“Now everybody knows about Burgos,” the MVP smiled.<\/p>\n
“It’s a funny story, because I remember when I went to Burgos for the first game, playing at Burgos. Unfortunately we lost that game, but I remember saying after the game, ‘oh my God, the fans, the atmosphere, it’s amazing. Like, one of the best I played in, if not the best.’ And I remember my teammates saying, ‘oh, you say all these good things, maybe you should just sign here.’ The next year, I signed. That’s God’s will.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
