Former Arizona State Sun Devils and current Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden continues to climb up on the all-time scoring list. Harden passed fellow legend Vince Carter and now has the 20th most regular-season points in NBA history.

The future hall-of-famer accomplished this during the Clippers’ 110-93 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

In 60 games played with his new team this season, the Arizona State alumnus is averaging 17.3 points, 8.3 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game. He is doing this on efficient 44/40/88 shooting splits.

The Clippers are currently 42-25 and stand as the Western Conference’s No. 4 seed. Harden has had a legendary career but still desires that championship ring and is looking to secure it this season.

Harden is widely considered one of the greatest scorers in NBA history and is only further proving that at 34 years old.
