This one in particular was of note:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On that shot, Johnson passed Marco Belinelli for Spurs franchise bench scoring. Belinelli scored 2,238 off the bench during his time with the Silver &amp; Black.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Keldon is currently fifth overall just under 200 points from catching Matt Bonner who scored 2,626 while he was in San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Keldon is still a thousand points behind Malik Rose who played off the bench for the Spurs for eight seasons. He\u2019s also 3,300 points off from Patty Mills during his decade in the Alamo City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And of course, Manu Ginobili tops the Spurs bench scoring with 8,278 over his sixteen spectacular seasons with the only NBA team he ever suited up for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Keldon has only come off the bench in 173 of his 405 games. He\u2019s averaging just under 13 points per game off the bench for his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He definitely has the ability to move up the ladder if he retains longevity with the Spurs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Welcome to the Thread.
