Vince Carter becomes 24th player to join 24,000-point club
Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
The oldest player in the league is still chugging along, and he's still setting records.
Vince Carter became the 24th player in NBA history to score 24,000 career points in the Memphis Grizzlies' lopsided loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old came off the bench for the Grizzlies to score five points. Carter's tally now sits at exactly 24,000 points.
Carter's next milestone would be to surpass Allen Iverson for 23rd in all-time scoring. At his current average of 7.8 points per game, Carter would need roughly 50 games to equal The Answer.
