James Harden has crossed the 20,000 career point line

This past Saturday in Houston, James Harden became the 45th player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points.

Harden said in an interview after the game in an interview:

“It’s a great accomplishment obviously, but I have a bigger picture and bigger goals but it’s pretty cool.”

The former NBA MVP is the seventh-youngest player to hit the mark. Harden entered the game 10 points away and reached the milestone in a very fitting way, on a step-back 3-pointer midway through the second quarter.

The Rockets’ announcer only yelled out “20,000!” after Harden hit the shot.

Then during the next timeout they played a video to mark the occasion.

The video showed the former MVP making his first points in the NBA while with the Thunder, then making a free throw that gave him 10,000 points and a replay of the 3 that got him to 20,000.

Here’s his highlight reel from the game
