Brynjar Þór Björnsson (born 11 July 1988) is an Icelandic basketball player and a former member of the Icelandic national team.[1] He has won the Icelandic championship eight times and the Icelandic Basketball Cup three times with KR[2][3] and is the club's all-time leader in scoring and games played.[4][5]

Playing career

Early career

In the fifth and deciding game of the 2007 Úrvalsdeild Finals against Snæfell, Brynjar made a three-point shot with 3 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 68–68 and send it to overtime. KR prevailed in overtime, winning the game 76–74 and its tenth national championship.[6]

College

Brynjar played for Francis Marion University from 2008 to 2009. He left the school in January 2009.[7]

Sweden

In 2011, Brynjar joined Jämtland Basket of the Swedish Basketligan and for the season he averaged 10.4 points per game and made 40.8 percent of his three point shots.[8]

Return to KR

He rejoined KR in 2012 and helped the club win the national championship four times in a row, from 2014 to 2017.[3] He resigned with KR in 2017 after contemplating a move to Þór Akureyri.[9]

On November 10, 2017, Brynjar became KR's all-time leading scorer in the Úrvalsdeild, surpassing Guðni Ólafur Guðnason who scored 3144 points for KR.[10] On March 12, 2018, Brynjar broke a finger on practice and was expected to miss KR's first round playoff series against Njarðvík.[11]

On April 25, 2018, Brynjar scored a buzzer beater to give KR a 75–77 victory against Tindastóll and a 2–1 lead in the Úrvalsdeild finals series.[12] On April 28, he won his eight Icelandic championship after KR defeated Tindastóll in the fourth game of the series.[13][14]

Tindastóll

On June 8, 2018, Brynjar left KR and signed with rivals Tindastóll.[15][16] On 30 September, he won the Icelandic Super Cup after Tindastóll beat KR, 103–72.[17] On December 9, Brynjar set the Úrvalsdeild record for most three-pointers made in a game when he made 16 of 31 three-point shots, on his way to 48 points, in a victory against Breiðablik, breaking Frank Booker's 27-year-old record.[18][19] In April 2019, Tindastóll agreed to release him from his contract following the team's first round exit in the Úrvalsdeild playoffs.[20]

Third stint with KR

On 29 June 2019, Brynjar returned to KR.[21] On 5 March 2020 he announced he would not play in KR's upcoming game against Stjarnan due to the coronavirus pandemic in Iceland[22] without consulting the team first.[23] Shortly later, on 13 March 2020 with each team having one game left, the season was postponed,[24] and later canceled due to the pandemic.[25]

In August 2022, Brynjar announced his retirement from top-tier basketball.[26]

Icelandic national team

From 2007 to 2017, Brynjar played 68 games for the Icelandic national team.[27] He retired from the national team in February 2018.[1][28]
