It was on the floor of Spurs, where he spent part of his career, that DeMar DeRozan reached the milestone of 24,000 career points, and there are only thirty to have achieved this in history! Author of 23 points against his former team, the All-Star guard/winger finds it hard to believe it.
“It’s always amazing to reach any kind of threshold,” reacts DeMar DeRozan. “When you think about the history of the league, it's extremely gratifying to be in the Top 30 all-time in points scored and still have the opportunity to do so. I never imagined this coming into the league: finding myself among some of the greatest players in history. For me, it's truly humbling, and it says a lot about my career. »
Allen Iverson in the viewfinder!
For his coach, this milestone of 24,000 career points is “an insane number”!
“But by being around him, we understand how he got there” continues Mike Brown. “He has that ability to find his 'spot,' and I think every player on this list had one or two 'spots' where it was in the pocket if they hit them. Being around DeMar, in the short time I've been here, it makes sense that he would be on the roster. But that’s just an absurd number of points for anyone to score.”
Currently 30th best scorer in the NBA, DeMar DeRozan should climb a few more places by the end of the year, and overtake Allen Iverson (24,368 points), Ray Allen (24,505 points), even Pat Ewing (24,815 points). ). But he will not be the only one since Stephen Curry (24,029 points) also has them in his sights.
