Born
Brazil's Oscar Schmidt, who died in 2026, is one of the highest scorers in basketball history and never played in the NBA. His 46 points in the 1987 Pan American Games final beat the United States on home soil, largely from long range, and he scored freely across five Olympics. International coaches built game plans around denying him the ball while the NBA still treated the three-pointer as a novelty.
