Anat Draigor

Anat Draigor (born 22 March 1960 in Beersheba, Israel) is a former professional basketball player who in 2006 set the Guinness world record for the most points scored in a single game by a female.

The record occurred during a game between Draigor's Mate Yehuda and Elitzur Givat Shmuel in the third basketball league.

[citation needed] Until the early nineties, the female Israeli basketball primary league was closed to foreign players; and when the league officials allowed foreign players to participate, it was Draigor's big challenge to test her abilities against American and Eastern Europe professionals.

[citation needed] In the European championship in the summer of 1991, AD scored 31 against Czechoslovakia, leading Israel to an historical win.

[citation needed] This performance was "caught" by representatives of French club Racing Paris, and at the age of 31, Draigor was the first Israeli player – male or female – to be signed to a contract to play overseas professionally.
