Carmelo Anthony Passes 26,000-Point Mark, Second-Most Among Active Players
Carmelo Anthony passed the 26,000-point mark on Friday night in Portland's matchup against the Mavericks, becoming only the 18th player in NBA history to accomplish such a feat.
Anthony will likely pass Kevin Garnett for 17th on the all-time scoring list over the Trail Blazers' next few games. A number of other players are also within immediate striking distance, including John Havlicek (26,395), Paul Pierce (26,397) and Tim Duncan (26,496).
Anthony has the second-most points scored among active players, trailing only fellow 2003 NBA draft class member LeBron James.
