Carmelo has been playing for 17 seasons now, and this has added to his greatness in the NBA. He is now with 26,398 career points behind San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan in the all-time scorers. Blazer’s main man crossed the mark on the free-throw line in a 124-121 victory over Philadelphia 76ers last night. He added 20 points alongside Damian Lillard‘s 50-point game.

It is definitely a star mark on Anthony’s career, and we are yet to see what else he can do with that talent.

What is the Trail Blazers up to in the season ahead?

The fight for the eighth spot in the Western standings has created dramatic turns over the games. There were some unexpected results in several matches and the Blazers are holding a 4-2 winning record in the bubble. The race for that last seed to reach the playoffs has numerous contenders; the likes of Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, and Pheonix Suns.

It is becoming interesting as teams are toppling up and down the table with each match passing by. Lillard has been in good form in Orlando and has consistently made a winning effort.

Trail Blazers will be taking over Luka Doncic‘s army, Dallas Mavericks, in their next fixture on the 12th of August.
