Durant is a natural scoring machine that has shown amazing scoring ability and skill from the moment he entered the league. He is more than two meters tall, but he can flexibly use all kinds of means to attack the basket, whether it is breakthroughs, jump shots, three-pointers or free throws. He was also very efficient in scoring, averaging 49.7 percent from the field, 38.4 percent from three-point range and 88.3 percent from the free throw line in his career. He has won the NBA scoring title seven times, four of them in a row. He is also the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, averaging 30.1 points per game in 2009-10 at the age of 21 years and 197 days. He also set an astonishing record in January 2014, scoring more than 30 points in 12 consecutive games, including more than 40 points in four games and more than 50 points in one game.
Passed: Durant's multiple halftime scores of more than 20 points in the regular season are not accidental, but the result of his continuous efforts and improvement. He not only possesses talent and technology, but also a strong desire to win and compete. He always looks for opportunities in the game, constantly puts pressure on his opponents and does not miss a single opportunity to score. He can also flexibly adjust his playing style according to the rhythm of the game and the defensive changes of his opponents, sometimes taking the initiative and sometimes cooperating wisely. He also has excellent leadership and team spirit, and is able to bring his teammates together to contribute more victories to the team. During his career, he led the Thunder to the Finals, won two championships with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, and won the Finals MVP twice.
Result: Durant scored 21 points in the first half of the preseason on October 20, 2023, the 221st halftime in his career to score more than 20 points in a half-time, the sixth highest in NBA history (single-quarter/half-time statistics since the NBA began in 1996-97). The top five on this list are: Kobe Bryant 397, James 353, Harden 280, Iverson 277, and Curry 232. These players are among the most legendary stars in NBA history and the most loved and respected by fans. Durant's ability to rank alongside them is a testament to his place and influence in NBA history. Durant also became the first player in Suns history to score more than 20 points and more than 200 times in the half.
Personal opinion: I think Durant is the most well-rounded and deadliest scorer in the NBA today and one of the greatest players in NBA history. He not only has an amazing scoring ability, but also has a well-rounded technical and team awareness. He is always full of passion and fighting spirit in the game, constantly challenging himself and his opponents, and bringing countless wonders and emotions to the fans. He is also a player with a strong sense of social responsibility and public welfare, and he has donated and participated in charity activities many times, helping many people in need. I admire and love Durant very much, and I hope he stays fit and in shape and continues to create more brilliance and wonder."
