Michael Jordan is one of the seven players to ever reach the mark of 30,000 points in a career
It was today, January 4th, 2001 when Bulls star, Michael Jordan completed his milestone of 30,000 point mark with the Washington Wizards. He was in his 30’s and he still managed to have averaged 22.9 points per game during that season. He played for the Wizards for another two years where finally he ended his career with 32,282 points which was among some of the best scorers in the league.
The time Michael Jordan completed this great achievement he became the second-fastest basketball player to do so being one step behind Wilt Chamberlain who completed this record in just 941 games. Michael Jordan is not alone in this list for cracking 30,000 points in a career. He shares this space with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Dirk Nowitzki and Wilt Chamberlain.
