GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Now that the 2010-11 athletic and academic years have officially come to a close, GreenBayPhoenix.com looks back at the past year in the men's basketball program with the Top-5 Phoenix Flix videos. With the top four videos already announced this week, the top video is announced today.

The No. 1 men's basketball video feature from the 2010-11 season is Eric Valentin's Record-Breaking Performance, a feature in which junior Eric Valentin breaks the Guinness World Record for halfcourt shots made in a minute.
