KD passes Jordan
Kevin Durant moved past Michael Jordan for 5th on the NBA all‑time scoring list — he’s at 32,293 career points after the milestone during a Suns game. The same night produced drama elsewhere: Amen Thompson hit a game‑winner in a Rockets victory that capped a wild stretch of finishes. (x.com) (x.com)
March 21, 2026 in Houston — Durant scored 27 points and drilled a corner 3 with about 3:35 left in the fourth to pass Michael Jordan and register 32,294 career points, vaulting into fifth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. (nba.com) The Rockets beat the Miami Heat 123-122 after Durant’s late miss was cleaned up at the rim by Amen Thompson, whose buzzer-tip converted the game-winner. (espn.com) Houston played a video tribute to Durant’s milestone before the final possession, and Durant later shrugged, saying “Four more to go” when asked about climbing higher on the list. (nba.com) Durant cleared Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) and Dirk Nowitzki (31,560) earlier this season, and the next player ahead of him remains Kobe Bryant, who sits fourth with 33,643 career points. (nba.com) The 37‑year‑old is in his 19th NBA season, missed the 2019‑20 year due to injury, and is in his first season with the Houston Rockets after being traded from Phoenix last summer. (nba.com) Amen Thompson — who was four years old when Durant entered the league in 2007 — capped a chaotic night with the tip-in and called witnessing Durant’s record “legendary.” (nba.com)
