Luka Doncic has affirmed his position as the NBA’s top scorer and star with the milestone he just conquered, becoming one of the youngest players to do so.

With the score scored from a 3-point shot near the mid-court logo, Luka Doncic reached a special milestone in his career right in the 2023 NBA Christmas series.

Not stopping there, the Dallas Mavericks star also became one of the players who took the fewest matches to surpass the above mark, while also marking his most successful scoring from a long distance ever.

The Slovenian basketball superstar not only reached a special milestone that many people dream of, he is also one of the players who needs the fewest matches to reach it.

Statistics from ESPN Stats & Info show that Doncic only needs 358 games to reach 10,000 points in the NBA. This is the 7th fastest number in tournament history and the fastest since the 1990s.

In front of Luka are 6 NBA legends including George Gervin (355 games), Oscar Robertson (334 games), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (319 games), Elgin Baylor (315 games), Michael Jordan (303 games) and the leader Wilt Chamberlain with 236 games.

Luka Doncic needs 358 matches to reach 10,000 points in the NBA, averaging nearly 28 points per game.

Among NBA players still playing, Luka Doncic needs the least number of games to reach the 10,000 point mark, surpassing famous scoring stars like Stephen Curry, James Harden or LeBron James. LeBron alone took 368 games to reach the 10,000 mark, only 10 more than Luka.

But in terms of age when he had his 10,000th point, Doncic (24 years and 300 days) would rank 6th in NBA history. He ranked behind Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady and the youngest player to reach the above milestone is LeBron James (23 years and 59 days).

Another interesting statistic surrounding this special milestone is that in NBA history, only 6 players scored 10,000 points before turning 25.

These are all the top “scoring machines” in the NBA and are also the 6 players just mentioned above: Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Tracy McGrady.
