Kevin Durant becomes 8th player in NBA history to score 29,000 points or more

Kevin Durant joined an exclusive list of NBA legends on Saturday night as he became one of 8 players to score 29,000 total career points or more, in the Phoenix Suns’ 114-102 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

The Suns’ superstar reached the mark in the 4th quarter of the game off a pass from Tyus Jones for a pull-up transition three.

Durant, in turn, is now in elite company together with LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, and Wilt Chamberlain.

Durant, a 14-time NBA All-Star, now has a total of 29,010 points after tallying 31 markers against the Mavericks. He has a career scoring average of 27.3 points per game in 1,064 games played over his 17-year NBA career.

“I’ve got to give credit to the people who have helped me since I was a kid,” Durant said post-game about the accomplishment. “Teammates who passed me the ball, set screens for me, coaches who drew up plays for me. I’m glad to be able to do this in front of these guys and this crowd, but I have more to do.”

Durant is now 10th on the all-time NBA scoring list, and with the way he’s still scoring the ball, he will likely climb up more ladders in the scoring history list for the remainder of his career.

Other than Durant, LeBron James continued racking up NBA history by having his 8th triple-double after being 35 years or older when racked up 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists in the Lakers’ 131-127 win over the Kings.

LeBron at one time had 14 straight for the Lakers in the 4th quarter, and scored 16 overall as he led LA’s comeback from down 10 late in the 3rd quarter. 

Even at their age, KD and LeBron are at the peak of their games with each and every stellar outing they produce night after night.
