Article

Oscar Daniel Bezerra Schmidt (February 16, 1958 – April 17, 2026), nicknamed Mão Santa (Holy Hand), was a Brazilian professional basketball player. Schmidt primarily played the power forward and small forward position, was 2.06 m (6 ft 9 in) tall and weighed 109 kg (240 lbs). Along with his home country, Schmidt also played in Italy for JuveCaserta and Pavia, and Spain for Fórum Valladolid. He was born in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Schmidt was considered to be the all-time leading scorer in the history of basketball, with 49,973 career points scored (pro club league play, plus senior Brazilian national team play), until LeBron James broke this record on April 2, 2024. He is the record holder for the longest career span of a professional basketball player at 29 years. He is also the top scorer in the history of the Summer Olympic Games, and the top scorer in the history of the FIBA World Cup.
