Carmelo Anthony scores his 20,000th point

Tonight in a game between the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets history was made as Carmelo Anthony becomes only the 40th player in NBA history to score over 20,000 points. Carmelo Anthony is the 6th youngest player to pass the 20,000 mark and 3 of those 6 players are still playing in the league today. Surprisingly the two mainly known as prolific scorers, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, actually reached the 20,000 plateau later than LeBron James who has the reputation of being an MVP candidate every year because of his skills on the defensive and offensive end. Few people see James as a prolific scorer and many forget he has the potential to finish among the top 10 scorers in NBA history. Still nobody can deny that Kobe, LeBron, and Carmelo are all straight up ballers.
