Career High Points For Active All Star NBA Players

DeMar DeRozan made history a month ago when he reached the 20,000-point career high mark in his illustrious NBA career.

DeRozan became the 50th player in the league to reach this milestone, joining a list of Hall of Famers.

Since the date changed to 2023, it seems like someone in the NBA sets a new career high for scoring every night.

Stars seem to outdo one another every time they are on the court, as evidenced by Luka Doncic’s famous 60-20-10 performance, Donovan Mitchell’s record 71-point outburst, and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career-high 55-point performance.
