Jeremy Pargo, the 40-year-old veteran guard, led the Boston Ball Hogs to the BIG3 league championship with a dramatic buzzer-beater 4-point shot on the night between Saturday and Sunday. The BIG3 league features a unique 4-point shot from beyond the three-point line, which Pargo expertly utilized to score all eight of his team's final points against Dallas Power. The game-winning shot came after Greg Monroe, a former Maccabi Rishon LeZion player, missed a free throw, allowing Pargo to clinch a 51-49 victory.
Pargo finished the game with 21 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds, earning the Finals MVP award. He was also named the season MVP about a week earlier, having led the league in points (166) and assists (31) throughout the season. His team included former Maccabi Tel Aviv player Quincy Miller. On the opposing side, notable players included Monroe (14 points), Elijah Stewart (19 points, formerly of Bnei Herzliya), TJ Klein (5 points), and Glen Rice Jr. (11 points), a former star of Hapoel Holon.
Following the championship celebration, Pargo responded to a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan's Instagram comment claiming he had "Maccabi Tel Aviv DNA," replying emphatically, "No, absolutely not, hell no!" This surprising response drew attention after his MVP post shared with the league. Pargo’s performance and candid interaction highlight his enduring impact in professional basketball beyond traditional leagues.
