- Karl_Tilleman abstract "Karl Michael Tilleman (born November 1, 1960) is a Canadian basketball player whose respected Olympic-team coach, Jack Donohue, called "the best three-point shooter in the world." Tilleman currently holds the Olympic record for the most three-point baskets in a single game, hitting ten of sixteen three-point shots, and scoring 21 points in a row for Canada, in a game against Spain in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Tilleman's Olympic three-point record has never been broken, but has been tied twice, initially by Oscar Schmidt of Brazil, in 1996, and then by Carmelo Anthony of the USA, in 2012.Tilleman had some of his best performances against the United States. For example, in the 1983 Pan American Games, Tilleman scored 28 points in a head-to-head showdown with Michael Jordan; Tilleman's "excellent shooting" kept Canada in that tight game, which was tied 15 times. In the 1987 World University Games, where "Canada challenged the U.S. men all the way," Tilleman again led Canada (and all players) scoring 21 points against a talented U.S. team led by future NBA stars B.J. Armstrong (Chicago Bulls) and Mitch Richmond (Golden State), and coached by the iconic Mike Krzyzewski.Tilleman had an unprecedented athletic career at the University of Calgary in Canada. He was voted the University's all-time greatest athlete receiving an astonishing five times more votes than the closest runner-up. Tilleman was drafted by the Denver Nuggets as their second draft pick and the 79th overall in 1984, the only player for the University of Calgary Dinos ever to be drafted by a NBA franchise; Tilleman was the fourth-highest NBA draft pick of any Canadian University (CIAU) basketball player in history. Tilleman has been inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. He also has been inducted into the University of Calgary's Hall of Fame and had his jersey retired by the University.Tilleman was internationally recognized for his "superb shooting" skills with "ballistic range," which allowed him to take games "into his own hands," as he did when he scored 22 points in the second half against Puerto Rico in the 1983 Pan American Games, and when he drained 23 points in a single ten-minute quarter in the 1988 Utah Summer Games. Tilleman's personal record for three-pointers appears to have been set in 1986 against a NCAA Division I team, the Montana State Bobcats, which won the Big Sky conference and never lost a regular-season home game that year. Playing for a senior men's team from Calgary, Tilleman scored 50 points, hitting an amazing 13 three pointers, which set a record for the most points scored in a men's basketball game at Montana State's Worthington Arena in Bozeman, Montana.Tilleman represented Canada and had strong performances in both the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games, where Canada finished fourth, and in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where Canada finished sixth, and Tilleman set the Olympic three-point record. In 1984, in Canada's initial game against the United States (led again by Michael Jordan), Tilleman scored 10 points, one point less than the team high, while only playing 7 minutes. Tilleman had an especially strong game, and was Canada's second-leading scorer with 13 points, in a hard-fought 88-82 loss to Yugoslavia in the 1984 bronze-medal game.Tilleman and his teammates shocked the world in 1983 when they captured the men's basketball gold medal at the World Student Games held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Canada's 1983 gold-medal performance was arguably Canada's finest moment in its rich basketball history (the only other possibility being Canada's silver medal in men's basketball at the 1936 Berlin Olympics). In winning the 1983 Universiade gold medal, Canada solidly defeated powerhouse teams from the United States and Yugoslavia, both of which were laden with future NBA stars such as Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, and Drazen Petrovic. Canada's 1983 Universiade gold medal, the only gold medal Canada has ever won in international men's basketball competition, has been described as the "Miracle on Wood."Tilleman is at the top of the Canadian University basketball record books. He hit every free throw he attempted during the entire 1983-84 Canada West regular season, except one, resulting in a record-setting 98% free throw percentage that has never been broken; he broke the Canadian basketball points-per-game scoring record with a 32.9 points-per-game average; he was named the most outstanding Canadian University male basketball player two years consecutively, the first to accomplish that feat; he was the Canadian University scoring champion in 1982 and 1983; he was voted a first team All-Canadian 4 consecutive years; he broke the University of Calgary's all-time point-per-game record, and became Calgary's leading all-time scorer, when he graduated with an average of 25.9 point-per-game (before the three-point shot); and he was a Canada-West Conference Allstar five years in a row, the final four as a unanimous first-team allstar.In addition to his respected athletic career, Tilleman has distinguished himself as an attorney and in his charitable service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). As a young attorney, he clerked for former Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Clarence Thomas, at the United States Supreme Court in 1992-93. Tilleman appears to be the only Canadian Olympian to clerk for a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, with Tilleman clerking for two of them. Later in his career, Tilleman became the managing partner of Steptoe & Johnson's Phoenix office, and has held many leadership positions with his firm, while also representing many high-profile companies and entities, including the Harlem Globetrotters, the University of Southern California, AIG, and Metlife, Inc. In the LDS Church, where there is no paid local clergy, Tilleman has served as a bishop and stake president in Phoenix, Arizona, and as mission president of the Canada Vancouver Mission. Tilleman currently serves as an Area Seventy for the church in its North America Southwest Area.".
