His first field goals dates back to the night of Novembre 27, 2010, in Charleroi, Belgium. His team, Real Madrid, lost unexpectedly that night, 67-49. However, Nikola Mirotic, who has had two scoreless appearances early in the season, accumulated four points during the game. The first four of his career. In Madrid, last night, he surpassed 4,000 points scored. Not bad for a wanna-be football striker, who gave up his dream to be the best footballer ever at his height because in fact nobody that tall has ever made it big on the field.

On April 23, 2014, in Athens, on the road again, he scored the 1,000^th point of his EuroLeague career. Real Madrid lost Game 4 of a five-games playoffs series that ultimately won, 71-62 against Olympiacos. Mirotic entered that game with 996 points scored. He made a two-pointer early in the game and got over 1,000 in the third period off a three-point play converted.

The 2.000-point threshold dates back to the second parte of his European career, on March 30, 2021, in Tel Aviv, when he scored 23 points for Barcelona. He entered into the game 17 points shy of 2.000. With 6:07 left in the game, he made the three-pointer that pushed him at 2.002.

At the start of the 2022/23 season, Mirotic counted 2.736 points, but he had to miss the first ten games because of an injury. The 3.000 points were surpassed on March 10, 2023, in Istanbul. He began the game vs Fenerbahce seven points away from the threshold. During the first period, he converted a three-point play, added a three and a little bit later from the line he had his seventh point.

The 4.000-point basket was actually two free throws, scored in the first quarter of the game. He entered the game with Real Madrid two points away from the threshold and reached the round figure from the free throw line. During his career, Nikola Mirotic scored 876 two-pointers, 430 three-point field goals and 970 free throws. He has 1.752 points coming from two-pointers, 1.290 from three-pointers and 970 have been accumulated from the free-throw line. The total now is 4.012. Overall, he scored 1.046 for Real Madrid, 2.136 for Barcelona and 830 for Olimpia.

Mirotic is the seventh EuroLeague player to score at least 4.000 points. So far, Mike James is the only one who got over 5.000. Nando De Colo has the chance to join him in the company soon. Vassilis Spanoulis, Juan Carlos Navarro, Sergio Llull and Jan Vesely are the other ones over 4.000.
