KD passes Jordan
Kevin Durant has jumped Michael Jordan to become 5th on the NBA all-time scoring list — a major milestone in his Hall of Fame chase. (x.com)
Durant scored 27 points in Houston’s 123–122 home victory over the Miami Heat on March 21, 2026, and a fourth‑quarter corner three pushed his official career total to 32,294 points. (nba.com) That corner triple came with roughly 3:23 remaining and completed a 9‑for‑17 night from the field with five made 3‑pointers, according to the game box score. (espn.com) The Toyota Center staged an in‑arena video tribute before the final possession, and Amen Thompson’s buzzer‑tip after Durant missed a potential game‑winner sealed the 123‑122 finish for Houston. (nba.com) Durant had already passed Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) and Dirk Nowitzki (31,560) earlier this season, and the players currently ahead of him on the career list are Kobe Bryant (33,643), Karl Malone (36,928), Kareem Abdul‑Jabbar (38,387) and LeBron James (43,276) per the updated all‑time leaderboard. (nba.com) Now 37 and in his 19th NBA season, Durant sat out the entire 2019–20 campaign with an injury and is playing his first season in Houston after a multi‑team trade from Phoenix last summer. (nba.com) The ESPN game log lists Durant’s 2025–26 averages at roughly 25.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists, figures that have kept Houston near the top of the Western Conference as the regular season approaches its finish.
