Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has climbed to 70th on the NBA All-Time Scoring List, after overtaking Mark Aguirre against the Philadelphia 76ers this evening.
The six-time All Star who started the night on 18,448 points, passed the 1989 and 1990 championship Detroit Pistons forward — who finished his career with 18,458 points — in the later stages of the third quarter.
Aguirre spent time with the Dallas Mavericks, Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers between 1981 and 1994. The 6’6 Aguirre was a member of the Pistons’ 1989 and 1990 NBA championships and earned All Star nods in 1984, 1987 and 1988.
