Jeremy Pargo Wins BIG3 League MVP at Age 40, Leads Boston Bulls to Finals

Jeremy Pargo, the former Israeli Premier League basketball star, was named MVP of the BIG3 league on August 15, 2026. At 40 years old, Pargo led the Boston Bulls, coached by Gary Payton, to their first-ever playoff appearance. The highlight came when Pargo hit a decisive three-pointer from the corner to secure a 50-47 victory over the Chicago Triplets, sending his team to the league finals. In that game, Pargo scored 14 points.

BIG3 commissioner Clyde Drexler praised Pargo's outstanding season, saying, "Mr. Pargo deserves it, he had a great season." Coach Gary Payton, who was named Coach of the Year, expressed confidence in Pargo, recalling telling him before the winning shot, "This is your show, you are the MVP and you owe me a basket." Pargo responded confidently, "I will make it."

Pargo led the BIG3 league in both points (166) and assists (31) this season. His Boston Bulls roster also includes former Maccabi Tel Aviv player Quincy Miller. Notably, three months earlier, Pargo was named MVP of the Icelandic league finals after an exceptional performance scoring 48 points, including 10 of 16 three-pointers, along with 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
