On March 7, Beijing time, in the NBA regular season, the Nets lost 120-126 to the Celtics away from home, suffering four consecutive losses. In this game, Durant's individual play was very good. He played 39 minutes, shooting 12-of-21, 4-of-9 from three-point range and 9-of-10 from the free throw line, and had 37 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
It is worth mentioning that Durant ushered in the milestone moment of his career in this game. In the fourth quarter of the game, Durant won his career 250 million with a signature mid-range jumper. KD has been in the NBA for 15 seasons since entering the league in 2007 and has finally accomplished that goal today. He also became the 23rd player in the NBA to achieve this feat.
Throughout the 75-year history of the NBA, there are only 23 players who can complete 250 million achievements. Among active players, this number is even rarer. In addition to KD, who has just made the list, only James and Anthony are left in active service to meet the standard.
On the NBA's all-time scoring list, Anthony is temporarily in 9th place with 28,120 points, just 476 points away from O'Neal, who ranks no. 8. With Anthony averaging 13.6 points per game, he won't be able to surpass O'Neal until at least next season.
James ranks third in the all-time scoring list with 36,720 points, behind Jabbar and Malone. With 56 points in a single game against the Warriors, James is only 208 points away from Malone. Before the end of the season, James will definitely rush to the second place in the all-time scoring list. Next season, James will hit The First Place in Abdul-Jabbar's history.
Aside from KD, James and Anthony, who else in the remaining active duty is expected to achieve a 25,000-point achievement? Harden (23142 points), Westbrook (22982 points) and Curry (19957 points) have greater hopes.
