Another game, another record for Portland Trail Blazers’ forward Carmelo Anthony: 27,000 career points. He is the 11th player in NBA history to mark that achievement.
Anthony is no. 11 on the NBA’s All-Time Scoring list, and it is expected that he will get into the top ten this season. If he continues to score at the clip he has been, Anthony will pass Elvin Hayes for the tenth slot on the list in late April. Anthony passed Hakeem Olajuwon during a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 13th.
