Luka Doncic becomes 6th-youngest and 7th-fastest to score 10000 ...
Luka Doncic knocks down a 34-foot 3-pointer in the 1st quarter to surpass 10,000 career points.
Luka Doncic’s latest gift to Dallas Mavericks fans was deep 3-pointer on Christmas night that pushed him past 10,000 career points.
Doncic reached the milestone against the Phoenix Suns in his 358th career game, which ties Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo for the seventh-fewest games to reach 10,000 points.
Wilt Chamberlain is the fastest to score 10,000 — in 236 games, followed by Michael Jordan (303), Elgin Baylor (315), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (319), Oscar Robertson (334), George Gervin (355).
Doncic entered the game 11 points shy of 10,000. He needed only 7 minutes to get there, passing the milestone on a 34-foot 3-pointer.
At 24 years, 300 days old, Doncic is the sixth-youngest player to reach 10,000 points behind LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Tracy McGrady.
Doncic finished with 50 points on 15-for-25 shooting in the Mavs’ 128-114 victory. He’s the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 in a game on Christmas Day, joining Bernard King (60 in 1984), Wilt Chamberlain (59 in 1961) and Rick Barry (50 in 1966).
