Mike James (basketball, born 1990)

Michael Perry James (born August 18, 1990) is an American professional basketball player and the team captain for AS Monaco of the French LNB Pro A and the EuroLeague. He was a high school basketball standout playing for Grant High School in Portland, and played college basketball for Eastern Arizona College and Lamar University. James was the first player in NBA history to go from a two-way contract to a regular contract, all while never being sent down to the NBA G League in the process. James started his professional career in Europe in 2012 and is five-time All-EuroLeague selection. He was the EuroLeague scoring champion in 2019. Since 2024, James is the all-time scoring leader in EuroLeague history. He was also named EuroLeague MVP of the 2023–24 season.
