Jalen Hord is MVP of the 18th game of the Euroleague

The 18th matchday of the Euroleague, and the first of the second round of the competition, ended with impressive matches and, of course, great performances. The one who stood out a little more, however, was Jalen Hord.

Her forward Maccabi Tel Aviv made an impressive appearance in his team’s win over Zalgiris, counting 23 points (6/10 2-pointers, 1/1 3-pointers, 8/8 shots), 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals without an error. Somehow, he gathered 34 degrees in the evaluation system and was named MVP of the match!

It is worth noting that the Frenchman wins this award for the first time in his (short) career in the Euroleague, with several of his compatriots, such as Neil Sacco, Theo Malendon, Eli Okobo and Isaiah Cordinier to have celebrated it as well.
