Shane Larkin was named the MVP of the EuroLeague for Round 28, claiming the MVP of the Round award for a sixth time this season.

Larkin reached a milestone, as he tied the single-season record and now has the chance to surpass it in the coming weeks.

The American guard re-wrote history books on Friday night while powering Anadolu Efes to the 91-79 home win over Olympiacos.

Larkin scored 40 points, becoming the first player this century with two 40-point games to his name while also re-tying a EuroLeague single-game mark that he matched earlier this season by making 10 three-point shots again.

Larkin downed 10 of 15 attempts from long distance and made 3 of 6 two-pointers on the night. He also collected 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 rebounds, accumulating a performance index rating of 44, the highest of all players in Round 28.
