In Game 1 of the Real Madrid-Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz Playoffs series, Llull made two three-pointers in regulation and recorded his 624th three-pointer throughout his playing career.

With this, the Spaniard passed another Spaniard, Juan Carlos Navarro, who had 623 career three-pointers.

After Llull's historic night, the list of three-pointers made by EuroLeague players looks like the following:

Sergio Llull (624) Juan Carlos Navarro (623) Sergio Rodriguez (602) Rudy Fernandez (593) Scottie Wilbekin (588)

In post-game remarks, the veteran addressed the record and talked about its significance to him.

"Well, it's amazing. It's amazing to pass a legend like Navarro. I'm really happy but I am more happy about the win. I think the most important thing is that we put the 1-0 on this series, and now we have to focus on Thursday."

The Spanish guard is known for his "mandarina" shots, which he often makes. In the EuroLeague, Llull is averaging 1.5 three-pointers made every game.
