On Saturday night, the Dallas Mavericks are playing the Milwaukee Bucks (at home).

Kyrie Irving had 16 points, one rebound and three assists while shooting 5/11 from the field and 2/6 from the three-point range in his first 17 minutes of playing time.

He also made NBA history by moving ahead of Hall of Famer Rick Barry (18,395) for 76th on the all-time scoring list.

Following Barry, the next player for Irving to pass will be Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes (18,438).

At nearly 33, the All-Star guard is still among the best players in the league.
