Durant passes Jordan
Kevin Durant moved past Michael Jordan into 5th on the NBA all-time scoring list in the last 48 hours — a major milestone in a prolific scoring run. (x.com).
Durant sank a right‑corner 3 with 3:23 remaining in the fourth quarter of Houston’s 123–122 win over Miami on March 21, 2026, a basket that put his career total past Michael Jordan’s mark. (nba.com) That shot pushed Durant’s career points to 32,294, two more than Jordan’s 32,292 as recorded on the league leaderboard. (nba.com) Durant finished the night with 27 points and has climbed the list this season after earlier passing Dirk Nowitzki (31,560) and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419). (nba.com) With Kobe Bryant sitting fourth at 33,643 points, Durant stated on the court that he has “four more to go,” signaling the next named target on the all‑time list. (nba.com) The milestone came in Durant’s 19th NBA season; he’s a two‑time NBA champion who was the No. 2 pick in the 2007 draft and missed the entire 2019–20 season with injury. (nba.com) Houston celebrated the moment before the game’s final possession, and after Durant missed a last‑second potential game‑winner, teammate Amen Thompson tipped in the rebound for the 123–122 victory.
