In yet another important moment of his career at the Suns match at the Lakers home, he arrived Kevin Durant.
His team may have lost to the “lake men”, but he produced an excellent display offensively, scoring 39 points. In doing so, he reached a total of 26,949, surpassing the two-time NBA champion, Hakeem Olazuwon and rose to 12th place among the league’s all-time leading scorers!
Elvin Hayes is now above him, but KD’s next target, at least for this season, seems to be the 8th spot, which is held by Shaquille O’Neal with 28,596 points, 1,647 more than the Suns star. It is certain that if he manages to stay healthy, he will have reached this milestone by the end of the current season.
