Underrated Aldama becomes a star: 37 points again!
Santi Aldama It doesn’t have the same mass appeal as it does in Spain. His “sin” that he did not experience balsa Either real madrid In a country where basketball is overshadowed by football, two great basketball players with their own traditions are supported by their fame and reputation for the beautiful game. But while Aldama has long transcended all of that, in recent days he’s been preoccupied with what appears to be his transformation into a star. The Canary Islander rose again to 37 points with last night’s victory. memphis grizzlies on the court for the Utah Jazz (128-137).
It will happen soon 25 yearsAldama had never reached the 30-point mark before, but he broke that barrier in recent days, reaching his career scoring record with 37 points against the Washington Wizards on Saturday. power forward The Palms He added that scoring frenzy to an impressive 13-of-21 points from the field and 7-of-13 on triples, as well as five rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes.
Until the current leader of the Spanish team lost his hair in recent days, his countryman had not been seen reaching such a goal tally since scoring an unforgettable 37 goals. ricky rubio at Madison Square Garden in 2021. Only Pau and Marc Gasol scored more goals in a single game, with 46 and 42 points. Both are icons of the Memphis era, and Santi is following that path, simply because there’s something special about the city of Tennessee with a Spanish player.
When asked on court about how close he had come to reaching that number in recent days, Aldama laughed and joked, “Are you scared of 40? No.”
“It’s definitely a great feeling when you see how the ball goes in. But I just try to be aggressive and patient. That’s what the coach always talks about. Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s another teammate, but as long as we achieve victory, that’s all that matters to me,” the Canary Islander emphasized in the article. fifth season In the NBA.

Only one person can surpass Aldama.
Pau and Marc Gasol
Gasols is the only team with more points than Santi Aldama and is tied with Ricky Rubio with 37 points. Pau scored 46 points with the Chicago Bulls in 2015, and Marc scored 42 points with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2017.
Growing physically and expanding his range of play, Santi Aldama is an increasingly destructive shooter, accelerating his wrists more and more to give defenders no time to score, but once he picks up the pace, it’s hard to stop him from breaking through. 2.13. The Spanish international also continued to feint with his shots after contact and finish with increasingly dominant small bombs.
Aldama has grown in resources after recently touching on all the suits in terms of position and style, and is something that anyone can strengthen. “7” spent the night between positions 3 and 5 and is now an inside pair. jaren jackson jr. Sometimes “4” and sometimes “5” are collected. Zach Eady.
The Spaniard, now a starter, barely played last year but was able to adapt to the Grizzlies’ different playing philosophy. pick and roll And this year, his presence has increased even more. If a player reads the game and is as versatile as a canary, he is oblivious to what is being played and the positions that Memphis’ chronic injuries have forced him to change frequently. This season, he averaged 14.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3 assists in 27 minutes, shooting 48 percent from the field, 35 percent from triples, and making five attempts.
without it ja morant Due to his first ankle injury, the Spanish team leader presents himself as a top-level scoring option. As he proved in a game where the Grizzlies couldn’t settle down to celebrate until the end, Aldama, who had Kyle Filipovski and Keyontae George leading the Jazz with 25 and 24 points on Christmas eve, is clear about how he wants to celebrate.
“What would you like for me for Christmas? Two days of plenty of sleep,” Santi said with a laugh. Dreaming of a star like this One more thing.

Ukrainian player of Boston Celtics Maxim Shulga He talked about the war in Ukraine and being abroad while his loved ones were at home.
– About Ukraine. These are difficult times. How proud is it for you to represent Ukraine?
– To be honest, I don’t think deeply about this issue. My job is to play, do my best and help the team win. There is responsibility, but I concentrate on the game.
– You always played outside Ukraine during the war. How do you cope with having a family at home?
“It was very difficult at first, worrying every day, worrying about people at home, family and friends. I communicate with them, find out how they are.
I almost never look at the internet because you can’t trust everything. I get information from my mother and father, I try to feel what they feel every day.
But I can’t live worrying all the time. There is a balance between paying attention to the situation at home but not letting it disrupt my thoughts and concentration. There is a lot of uncertainty and I hope everything will be resolved as soon as possible.
Max Shulga previously talked about his personal development and recalled how he was selected in the 2025 draft.

Ukrainian guard of Boston Celtics Max ShulgaThe player, who currently plays for the Maine Celtics farm team, talked about his personal development and recalled how he was selected in the 2025 draft.
– The Maine Celtics are improving and it seems like you are becoming more confident on the court. Your NBA debut is still ahead of you, but how do you feel about your first year after the draft?
– It was a good experience, you can learn a lot. As in every season, there are ups and downs. Individually and as a team. Good learning curve, valuable experience.
– I want to go back to the moment when the Celtics drafted you. How did you feel? What went through your mind when you saw your name?
– I was in Dallas with the agency and doing pre-draft training. We had a draft party in Dallas.
I was with everyone in the agency, along with Maxim Renault. He was also drafted by the Sacramento Kings. He’s a good friend. We had a pre-draft workout with a few people: Jaxsen Mauney of the G-League Golden State Warriors and Nelly Joseph, who currently plays in France.
We all watched the draft. I wasn’t sure if I would be selected or not. If so, it’s probably in the 50-60 range. Many teams started searching. I didn’t know until five minutes before the draft when he told me the Celtics were drafting me. My manager Brad said: I was so excited.
Words cannot express this because it is a dream you always strive for. But you never really know until it happens. It was such a surreal feeling. It took time to realise.
– You mentioned two teams that wanted to draft you before the Celtics…
“The Grizzlies called and wanted to draft me, but sent me to play in Europe for a while. A lot of other teams, probably the Bucks, were still calling.”
– You worked with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. What did they recommend?
– No, they didn’t give direct advice, but by watching them, I learn how they approach it every day. They come to training, work on themselves, do shooting practice with coaches.
Their attention to detail is impressive every day. JB practiced dribbling and shooting all over the court, repeat after repetition. I realized that this was necessary to reach their level.
– What about Joe Mazzulla? They talked about the “machine gun sound” in training…
– It was one of the real standout moments of training camp (laughs). We did it one on one, defending against each other, and machine gun fire was coming out of the speakers.
He was very demanding every day, he left no one alone, he held everyone accountable. It doesn’t matter if you are 15th or first in the squad, everyone is at the same standard. He also works out in the gym and gets up with us.
He even discusses the rules with the referees and looks for ways to “manipulate” the game. Incredibly competitive and demanding.
Shulga is averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per 33 minutes on the court in the current G-League season.
