EA7 Emporio Armani Milan big man Kyle Hines achieved a significant milestone on Tuesday night as he stepped onto the EuroLeague court for the 393rd time, establishing himself as the all-time leader in this category.

The 37-year-old American surpassed the record held by Zalgiris Kaunas legend Paulius Jankunas, who had accumulated 392 appearances throughout his illustrious career.

Hines debuted in the EuroLeague for Brose Bamberg on October 20, 2010, in Rome. Virtus won 83-65 at home, but Hines scored 20 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 26 minutes.

Hines is a four-time EuroLeague champion (2012, 2013, 2016, 2019) and a three-time recipient of the EuroLeague Best Defender award (2016, 2018, 2022). His contributions earned him a well-deserved spot on the EuroLeague 2010–20 All-Decade Team.

Throughout his EuroLeague journey, which spans stints with Brose (2010-11), Olympiacos Piraeus (2011-13), CSKA Moscow (2013-20), and Milano Olimpia (2020-present), Hines has averaged 8.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 10.7 PIR.

In another significant achievement on the same night, Real Madrid veteran guard Sergio Rodriguez secured the fourth spot on the all-time EuroLeague appearances list, surpassing Georgios Printezis.
