AD reached the mark 10 days before his 24th birthday, joining an elite group that includes Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant. He accomplished the feat in just 317 games, having missed time in each of the previous four seasons due to injuries.
Davis carried the team with fellow All-Star DeMarcus Cousins serving a suspension, finishing with 33 points on just 17 shots to go along with 14 rebounds, three dimes, and a block in the Pelicans' 109-86 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
