Anthony Davis crossed the 10,000-point plateau on an alley-oop from Jrue Holiday with 3:10 remaining in the second quarter of the Pelicans-Sixers game.
At 25 years and 255 days, Davis becomes the eighth-youngest player in NBA history to reach the milestone.
Only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard and Bob McAdoo reached 10,000 career points at a younger age.
Davis’ college coach, Kentucky’s John Calipari, was among the first to offer congratulations.
Anthony Davis just scored his 10,000th career point in the NBA.
My brain:

Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say itMe: “He took the fourth-most shots on our team!”
Congrats @AntDavis23!! Love you, kid!!
