Durant has no hope! Apart from James, who else is expected to score 40,000 points in the current service?

After the end of the 22nd season of his career, James' total score in his career has exceeded 42,000 points, reaching 42,184 points, continuing to set a new record of historical total score. Although Durant successfully reached a milestone of 30,000 points last season, he was still more than 10,000 points less than James.

Durant is the youngest scoring leader in history and has also won four scoring leaders in five years. At that time, he was considered the most promising to surpass Jabbar, become the historical scoring leader, and become the first player to score 40,000 points. However, due to injuries, Durant has just exceeded 30,000 points, and James has become the historical scoring leader and the first 40,000 points.

Although Durant is about 4 years younger than James, it is almost impossible for him to surpass James before retirement. He is neither likely to score more than 40,000 points, nor is it likely to steal James' historical scoring throne. Not only Durant, except for James, it is unlikely that any other player can get more than 40,000 points in active service.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to score 2,000 points in a season. Even if you can average 25 points per game, you have to play 80 games. If you want to score 40,000 points, you must play for the entire 20 seasons and score 2,000 points for 20 consecutive seasons. This is how James did it.

Therefore, if a player wants to become a 40,000-point man, in addition to having excellent scoring skills, he must also play for 20 seasons while maintaining a healthy life. Durant's scoring ability is hard to say. The reason why he is unlikely to score 4,000 points is mainly because he missed many games due to injury and was directly reimbursed for one season, otherwise he would have hope.

Among the active players, there are also many outstanding scorers. Among them, Harden, Westbrook, Curry and DeRozan have scored more than 25,000 points in their careers, but they have all entered the end of their careers. It is hard to say whether they can break through 30,000 points before retirement. Antetokounmpo is in his year of playing, and his total career score has exceeded 20,000 points, but he still has to score nearly 20,000 points to become a 40,000 point teacher. Even if he plays for another 10 years, it will be difficult.

There are also some young players who are active in the scoring ability, such as Booker, Tatum, Mitchell, Doncic, Trae Young, Alexander, Edwards, etc. Their current career total scores are also among the top among players of the same age group. Although these players have a long future career, it is also very difficult to achieve a 40,000-point milestone.

Overall, Doncic, who has become James' teammate, should have the greatest hope. Doncic's scoring ability is top-notch in history, and he is still very young. He is less than 27 years old and has scored 12,878 points. But Doncic must play healthy for at least 20 seasons before it can be possible.
