Luka Doncic Joins Michael Jordan For Insane Record

Breaking Records on Christmas Night

On a magical Christmas night clash against the Phoenix Suns, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks not only shattered the 10,000-point milestone but did so with flair. The 24-year-old star needed just 11 points to reach the milestone but outdid himself, dropping an impressive 50 points on the Suns. The stats speak for themselves: 15-25 field goals, 8-16 three-pointers, and a perfect 12 for 12 from the free-throw line.


Joining Elite Company on Christmas


Luka Doncic's performance on Christmas night wasn't just record-breaking; it also earned him a place alongside legends. Joining Bernard King, Wilt Chamberlain, and Rick Barry, Doncic became one of the select few to score 50 or more points on Christmas. At just 24 years and 300 days old, he's now the sixth youngest player to surpass 10,000 career points, sharing this accomplishment with the likes of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and Tracy McGrady.


Climbing the All-Time Scorer Ranks

With 10,000 career points under his belt, Luka Doncic now stakes his claim on the all-time points per game leaderboard. Currently ranked 3rd, he finds himself in the esteemed company of basketball icons Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. From being a third overall pick to achieving this milestone, Doncic has evolved into a bona fide star in what feels like the blink of an eye.

The Accomplished Young Star

Despite his youth, Luka Doncic boasts an impressive resume: a four-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Teamer, and NBA Rookie of the Year. As he races towards an MVP Award, Doncic stands as the third-highest average scorer of all time, with only Elgin Baylor and Jerry West on the top ten list lacking an MVP Award. The stage is set for Doncic to etch his name in basketball history, whether by clinching a championship or further elevating his greatness.
