- Tony Stockman: 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists (19:22)

One of the best in Brazil: The first Buckeye All-Star of the 2010/2011 season is Medina, Ohio's Tony Stockman. The sixth year pro played in his second consecutive Brazilian League (NBB) All-Star game on January 29 in Franca, Brazil. Stockman's 18 points per game for Assisi Basket has earned him the reputation as one of the most dangerous scorers in Brazil.

The All-Star exhibition featured some of the country's top national players such as Alex Garcia & Marcelinho Machado (guys who have made noise on the FIBA level playing for Brazil), as well as other talented imports like Larry Taylor, Benard Robinson (Michigan), and Robert Day, who ended up dropping 12 threes en route to a 50 point total! Stockman scored 12 points & had 5 rebounds with 3 assists in a little over 19 minutes of play.

Tony Returns to Franca: The 2011 All-Star game was especially sweet for Stockman because it was played in a place where the former Buckeye made a big mark. Stockman played for the city of Franca's home club Vivo/Franca in the 2009/2010 season (helped Franca earn a playoff birth, and won NBB Import player of he year). As a fan favorite in Franca, Stockman enjoyed loud support with every made basket in the All-Star game, and he would top everything off late in the game by treating the fans to a mini battle with former Franca teammate Vitor Benite!
