Another game, another milestone for these former league MVPs.

Superstars Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets hit new NBA milestones in their team’s respective games on Sunday, December 27 (Monday, December 28, Manila time).

In Chicago, Curry became the third player in NBA history to hit 2,500 career three-pointers.

Curry joined Hall of Famers Ray Allen and Reggie Miller as the only players in NBA history with 2,500 career regular season threes.

The two-time league MVP Curry shot 5-of-15 from deep and finished with a game-high 36 points in the Warriors’ 129-128 victory over the Bulls.

Meanwhile in Charlotte, Durant became the 9th-fastest player in NBA history to reach 23,000 points.

The 32-year-old Durant, who has been very impressive in his comeback from an Achilles injury, only needed 852 games to hit 23,000 career points.

Durant dropped 29 points but the Nets fell to the Hornets, 106-104. –Rappler.com
