John Hugh Eubanks,[1] known as J. J. Eubanks (born November 13, 1968) is an American former professional basketball player. A 6-foot-6 guard/forward, he played his first two years of college basketball at Sullivan College in the junior college circuit before transferring to Marshall (where he never played a game) and then to Tennessee State. After going undrafted in the 1991 NBA draft he started his professional career in the World Basketball League where he won the Rookie of the Year award. He had his first experience in Europe with Italian club Basket Rimini. On October 9, 1994, he scored 101 points during an Israeli league game between Maccabi Ramat Gan and Beitar Ramat Gan, setting a single-game scoring record for the league and becoming one of the players to score 100 or more points in a game. He was the top scorer in the 1994–95 Israel Basketball Premier League. In his career he played in Italy, Canada, Greece, Israel, Japan, Venezuela, Argentina and Cyprus, establishing himself as a prolific scorer: he won three scoring titles (one in Israel and two in Argentina) and set single-game scoring records in Israel (101 points) and Cyprus (84 points).
