CHICAGO, Ill. (Chambana Today) — Ayo Dosunmu needed just one shot to secure his place in basketball history — and, as it turns out, the NBA’s as well.

The Chicago Bulls guard – and former Illini star – reached 3,000 career points with a made basket this week, a personal milestone that came with an unexpected distinction. The same shot also registered as the 14,000,000th point in NBA history, according to league tracking.

The moment tied Dosunmu’s achievement to one of the league’s largest statistical benchmarks, linking his individual progress to a collective record nearly eight decades in the making.
