Milwaukee Bucks superstar point guard Damian Lillard made NBA history on Tuesday. In the first quarter of Milwaukee’s 132-119 win over the San Antonio Spurs, the seven-time All-Star converted on a layup to reach 20,000 career points.
Per ESPN, Lillard is the 51st player and eighth active player to hit the milestone. He joins fellow stars LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul in the accomplishment.
It took Lillard 794 games to reach the 20,000-point mark, making him the 17th-fastest player to do so.
“I don’t want to fake downplay it like it’s nothing,” Lillard said. “I know it’s a big deal. It’s a great accomplishment. It’s a rare space to be in.”
Additionally, Lillard became just the fourth player to record at least 20,000 points, 5,000 assists and 2,000 made 3-pointers. On that note, here are the only players to reach those three statistical milestones:
