Markus Hallgrimson (born May 31, 1975 in Germany) is a German-American professional basketball player, most notable for his NCAA D2 record for 16-three-point field goals in a single game.
During the 1996/97 season, he spent time at Hiwassee College before playing for USC Heidelberg in Germany’s second-tier Basketball Bundesliga.
In his final year with the university team, during the 1999/2000 season, he attracted attention by setting a record for hitting 16 three-pointers in a single game.
However, after just one year, he moved to Hamburg in the second-tier league, where his team won the 2nd Basketball Bundesliga North championship.
After a brief stint with Ithri Rif Nador in Morocco, Hallgrimson joined Pro B team SC Rasta Vechta in December 2009.
A few weeks into the 2010/11 season, he moved to another Pro B team, Wiha Panthers Schwenningen, where he became the highest-scoring German player in the league.
