Vytautas Budriūnas (Americanized his first name as Walter "Whitey", last name as Budrunas[1][2] or Budrun; born December 19, 1908; died June 28, 2003[3]) was a Lithuanian basketball player. He won gold medal at EuroBasket 1939 with Lithuania national basketball team. He was notable for his one-handed jumpshot (he used it because of a left arm that never straightened after being broken)[4][5] and is one of the hookshot founders.

Biography

In 1934 he graduated from Marquette University. He played for the college stars team (Marquette University team). In 1938 he arrived in Lithuania and competed for the Lithuania national basketball team during EuroBasket 1939.[6] During EuroBasket 1939 he scored 73 points combined.

Later he returned to the United States and worked as a coach and school sports director (1940–1959).

In 2007, he ranked fourth in a listing of the best-known Lithuanian basketball players.
