Luka Donicic is a veteran Slovenian basketball player for the National Basketball Association’s Dallas Mavericks.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, and Tracy McGrady have previously reached this feat, and now Luca Donici has also joined the list.
Yesterday’s matchup was played by Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns, where Luka Doncic gifted Dallas Mavericks fans 50 points; a deep 3-pointer on Christmas night pushed him past 10,000 career points.
He completed milestones against the Phoenix Suns in his 358th career game.
Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo praises Luka Doncic, the seventh-fastest player to reach 10,000 points.
Here is the list of the players who have achieved the goal: Wilt Chamberlain scored 10,000 points in 236 games, Michael Jordan (303), Elgin Baylor (315), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (319), Oscar Robertson (334), George Gervin (355).
Luka Donicic is the sixth-youngest player in NBA history to surpass 10,000 points, trailing only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, and Tracy McGrady.
He joins Bernard King (60 in 1984), Wilt Chamberlain (59 in 1961), and Rick Barry (50 in 1966) as the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points on Christmas Day.
