\u00a0–\u00a0Steven Gray<\/a>\u00a0of Peristeri has been named MVP of the Month for October in the 2020-21 Basketball Champions League, following his record-breaking showing in his team’s win at Rytas Vilnius on October 27th.<\/p>\n

I was surprised when my wife told me, breaking a record hasn\u2019t ever been something I\u2019ve given much thought to – Steven Gray<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Peristeri shooting guard registered a BCL all-time high Performance Efficiency Rating (PER) of 47 on the night, to lead his team to an\u00a0106-88<\/a>\u00a0road win in their Group E premiere.<\/p>\n

Gray is well-known in basketball circles on both sides of the Atlantic for his unassuming nature, and it turns out that even such a momentous occasion was not enough for him to seek out where his achievement ranked. Luckily for him though, his better half was watching.<\/p>\n

“I am humbled to receive the recognition. My wife was the one who messaged me that it was a new record later that night,” the 31-year-old American told championsleague.basketball.<\/p>\n

“I was surprised when she told me, breaking a record hasn\u2019t ever been something I\u2019ve given much thought to.<\/p>\n

Our roster has a quality that will make it difficult for teams to decide what they will try to take away from us and what they are willing to risk – Steven Gray<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gray tied the BCL record for most made triples in a single game, as he knocked down 10 treys on 13 attempts in Vilnius. The only previous player to hit 10 threes in a BCL game, Jimmy Baron, had needed 15 attempts.<\/p>\n

“My mindset throughout the game remained the same and that was to trust my shot,” Gray said.<\/p>\n

“My teammates were supporting me with extra passes, setting screens and spacing the floor and with that came good looks at the basket.
