During the Dallas Mavericks game against the Phoenix Suns on Christmas day, star player Luka Doncic reached a big individual milestone. 

With a deep three-pointer, Doncic now has 10,000 career points. He achieved this in his 358th career game, tying Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo for the seventh-fewest games to reach 10,000. 

Doncic, who was only 11 points away from 10,000 career points, got the milestone during the first quarter. Doncic ended the game with 50 points, making him the fourth NBA player to score half a hundred on Christmas day – he joined Bernand King, Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry. 

Doncic’s teammate, Dereck Lively II, also had a strong game with 20 points and ten rebounds.
