Pusan Kia Enterprise yielded to the SK Knights in Korean Pro Basketball League play Sunday, but Kia small forward Kim Young-Man still managed to break the 3,000-point mark, becoming only the second player in league history to do so.
Kia, which won the championship in the league¡¯s inaugural year, was confident earlier in the season of returning to the winner's circle when it signed 2.08-meter tall Duane Spencer, the tallest player in the league.
Kim scored 20 points to reach a career total of 3,002 points, second only to Johnnie McDowell of the Hyundai Gullivers.
