Mike Laughna (born Frederick Michael Laughna) is a former
basketball player for
Georgetown University.
Laughna, who attended
Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in
Newark, New Jersey, remains one of the top scorers in Georgetown history, ranked above
NBA star
Dikembe Mutombo. At the time of his graduation, Laughna held most of Georgetown's scoring records, but the advent of the
three-point shot and the
slam dunk made it possible for future players to accumulate points more rapidly.
Laughna is a member of the Georgetown University Basketball Hall of Fame, and is ranked 15th on Georgetown's "Top 100 Players" list. He was also included as an honorable mention on the All Century Team.
On February 11, 1971, in a game against NYU, Laughna scored a career high 35 points. Fellow Georgetown alumnus
Patrick Ewing also scored 35 points as his career high.
Laughna has played professional
basketball for a number of European teams.
