Only 848 points away! Durant ushered in a god-level milestone, and it is difficult for Jordan to keep his record

After the NBA Media Day, 30 teams officially entered the training camp to prepare for the new season. The league pattern changes rapidly, and one move will affect the whole body. Any movement will disrupt the team's deployment and can invisibly affect the team's prospects! But then again, on the road to success, wind and rain are the norm, and the real strong people never complain about the environment! Houston Rockets defender Van Jordan is likely to be reimbursed for the season due to ACL repair surgery, and the difficulty of competing for the championship has increased sharply, but for Durant, he has no turning back when he draws the shot. No matter how hard or difficult it is, he has to lead the way!

Durant's career is more or less tragic, but his honor is full of controversy. In his 17th career, Durant won 4 scoring champions + 1 MVP + 2 All-Star MVP + 2 Championship + 2 FMVPs. He was selected into the All-Star lineup 15 times and was selected into the Best Team of the Year 11 times. He is also one of the 75 superstars in NBA history! Compared with Curry, who is one person, one city and one legend, Durant runs around but cannot escape the closed loop of Green's formula; compared with the "NBA's strongest developer" James who runs around and represents three teams to win championships + FMVP, Durant failed in the Nets and Suns' two big players and ended up as a negative textbook.

Take last season for example. The Suns were suffering from injuries. Durant played 62 games, averaging 26.6 points + 6 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 1.2 blocks + 2.6 three-pointers, with shooting percentages of 52.7%, 43% and 83.9% respectively in the three events. Durant missed the Best Team of the Year because he played less than 65 games; the Suns only achieved a record of 36 wins and 46 losses, ranking 11th in the West, and didn't even touch the playoff floor. When stars of the same age, such as James, Curry, Harden, Westbrook burned out their own age in the playoffs, and when new generation stars such as Alexander, Edwards, Halliburton, and Brunson shone in the playoffs, Durant should have mixed feelings: the waves have come, and I really don’t have much time left.

This year's offseason, when Durant was put on the shelves by the Suns, the Rockets took action quickly and steadily, using Jaylen Green + Dillon + 2025 No. 10 signing as the main bargaining chips to bring Durant's talent to the Aerospace City! Rockets coach Uduka pointed out incisively: Durant is very suitable for our team, he just can solve our problems, he has historical scoring ability, and we can no longer rely on defense. Durant himself also made the statement in an interview: What attracted me most to join the Rockets is Uduka. He will give me space to be himself and do what I am best at! Uduka and Durant met with each other too late, and the Rockets had a long way to go to the championship. Before that, Durant is about to usher in a god-level milestone.

According to statistics from the NBA official website, as of now, Durant's total score in his regular season career is 30,571 points, ranking 8th in NBA history and second in active service, second only to NBA historical scoring champion James (42,184 points). Durant is only 848 points away from Chamberlain (31,419 points), who is ranked 7th in the historical scoring list. In other words, Durant only needs to score another 849 points to surpass Chamberlain and rank 7th. Looking at Durant's career, except for the 2014-15 season (27 games, 686 points), the minimum score record in other seasons was 943 points in the 2020-21 season, and the highest was 2593 points in the 2013-14 season. In other words, according to Durant's explosiveness and stability in scoring, as long as he can attend healthily, he will be able to complete the milestone that surpasses Chamberlain in the new season.

It is worth mentioning that Durant is only 989 points away from Dirk (31,560 points), who is ranked 6th in the historical scoring list, and Durant also has the opportunity to surpass in the new season; Durant is still 1,721 points away from Jordan (32,292 points), who is ranked 5th in the historical scoring list, and it is difficult to keep Jordan's record. Durant can enter the top 5 of the historical scoring list as fast as the new season and the slowest next season. When talking about the possibility of overtaking Jordan in total scores, Durant said bluntly: This is crazy, but if I play more games, I will rank higher on this list! This is Durant, you can question his leadership temperament, but he never doubts his scoring ability. In the words of fans, as long as Durant still maintains his love for basketball, he can still score a lot of points, and he will continue to follow the footsteps of the NBA historical scoring king James! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
