Timeline
Arvydas Macijauskas (born 19 January 1980) is a Lithuanian former professional basketball player.
Standing at 1.93m tall, he played at the shooting guard position.
Macijauskas made his pro debut in 1997, during the 1996–97 season, with the Lithuanian League club Neptūnas.
He only played in 3 games in his rookie season, and spent most of the season with the Klaipėda University-Irvinga team.
He spent three seasons with Neptūnas, and averaged 12.7 points per game, on 53 percent field goal shooting, in the Lithuanian League.
He played at the 1998 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship and at the 2000 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship.
Widely considered one of the greatest Lithuanian players of the 2000s, he won numerous individual awards, as well as club and national team titles.
After starting his professional career with Neptūnas, he later played for some top EuroLeague teams, such as Tau Ceramica and Olympiacos.
He also played with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets for one season in the NBA.
He also represented the senior Lithuanian national basketball team.
He played the next four seasons with the Lithuanian club Lietuvos rytas, and he led them to two Lithuanian League titles, in 2000 and 2002, and to a Northern European League title in 2003.
He was named the Lithuanian League Finals MVP in 2002 and 2003.
He averaged 15.3 points per game, on 61 percent field goal shooting, in 143 games played with Rytas.
On 17 December 2003 he scored a career-high 40 points, in a EuroLeague 2003–04 season game against the French League club ASVEL Lyon.
Macijauskas led the senior Lithuania national team in scoring, at the EuroBasket 2003, with an average of 15.8 points per game.
The Lithuanians prevailed to win the gold medals at the tournament.
Macijauskas joined the Spanish League club Tau Ceramica, for the next two seasons and he helped them win a Spanish Cup title in 2004.
Macijauskas was selected to the All-EuroLeague First Team of the 2004–05 season.
In two seasons with Tau, he played in 42 EuroLeague games, in which he averaged 18.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
With Tau Ceramica, he also reached the EuroLeague's Final in 2005, where his team lost to the Israeli Super League club Maccabi Tel Aviv; which was also led by a Lithuanian player, and EuroLeague Final Four MVP, Šarūnas Jasikevičius.
Macijauskas signed with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in 2005.
He was rarely used in his only season in the NBA, as he totaled 135 minutes of playing time, and 44 points scored, in 19 games played.
He was bought out by the Hornets after the season ended.
After returning to Europe, he criticized the Hornets and the NBA through the press.
When asked if he had put the previous season behind him, Macijauskas responded: "I want to forget that year. Everything went wrong. A really bad coach, a bad franchise. At the end of the season, I didn't even think of returning to New Orleans next season. From the third game on, I was already sentenced to zero minutes for the rest of the year. The NBA is not a fun experience. Teams are (not) teams. There's no true commitment between the teammates."
On 20 July 2006 Macijauskas signed with the Greek League club Olympiacos.
The deal was worth €9 million euros net income over four years.
However, he suffered a devastating Achilles' tendon injury in September 2006, and he only played in two games during the EuroLeague 2006–07 season.
Macijauskas was healthy for the following EuroLeague 2007–08 season, and he was named the EuroLeague MVP of the Month for November 2007, after shooting a staggering 72.5 percent overall from the field (84.6 percent on 2 point field goal attempts, and 50 percent on 3 point field goal attempts).
Olympiacos lost to the eventual EuroLeague champions CSKA Moscow, in the league's quarterfinals.
Ironically, one of that team's leaders was also a Lithuanian player, Ramūnas Šiškauskas.
Later that year, Olympiacos sued Macijauskas for violating his contract terms (he injured his ankle during a holiday).
The club wanted to cancel his contract, without paying him anymore compensation.
A court later made a decision in Macijauskas' favor.
However, Olympiacos appealed it, and eventually won the case in November 2009.
In two seasons with Olympiacos, he played in 14 EuroLeague games, in which he averaged 13.8 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
He announced his retirement from playing professional basketball in 2010, two years after his last club, Olympiacos, had released him following a prolonged judicial litigation.
Early in his career, Macijauskas was a member of the Neptūnas junior team.
In June 2010, he announced his retirement from his basketball playing career, because of health reasons.
Macijauskas was a member of the Lithuanian Under-18 and Under-20 junior national teams.
