If you score another 1,722 points, you will surpass Jordan! If Durant hadn t had a serious injury, could he have surpassed James?

Last season, although the Suns didn't even make the playoffs, Durant also reached an important milestone, that is, his career total score exceeded 30,000 points and entered the 30,000-point club. This is also a belated milestone for Durant. If he had not suffered a major injury, it might have been achieved two or three years ago. The milestone of

30,000 points is far from the end of Durant. Next season, Durant is expected to surpass Chamberlain, Nowitzki and Jordan to rise to fifth in the historical scoring list. Durant is still 1,721 points away from Jordan. As long as he scores 1,722 points next season, he will complete his surpassing Jordan.

Although Durant is 37 soon, he still averaged 26.6 points per game last season. If he can maintain such a scoring level in the Rockets next season, he will only need 65 games to surpass Jordan. So as long as you stay healthy, Durant has great hope of surpassing Jordan next season.

Although Jordan's total career score is not the highest in history, Jordan averaged more than 30 points in his career and scored 10 scoring champions, which can be said to be the greatest super scorer in history. Therefore, it is also very symbolic to surpass Durant's total career score.

In fact, Durant had hope to compete for the historical scoring champion, but he suffered two major injuries and was directly reimbursed for one season. In addition, he missed many games due to injury in several seasons at the Nets, so he not only failed to become a contender for the historical scoring champion, but he only reached a milestone of 30,000 points last season.

It is worth mentioning that Durant is not only the youngest scoring champion in history, but also won 4 scoring champions in 5 years. From 2,000 points to 20,000 points, Durant is also the second youngest in history, second only to James. At that time, most people looked better, Durant had more hope to surpass Jabbar and become the new historical scoring champion.

However, James has become the historical scoring champion, with a total score of more than 40,000 points, but Durant is left behind. Durant currently scores more than 10,000 points less than James. Even after playing until the age of 40 like James, it is difficult for him to break through 40,000 points in his career, and it is even less likely to surpass James.

With Durant's strength, it should not be a big deal to score more than 35,000 points before retirement, but it is hard to say whether he can surpass Carl Malone and enter the top three in history. However, even if he failed to become the historical scoring champion, Durant is also a recognized super scorer.
