Durant's milestone: Four teams with more than 3,000 career points, the fourth person in NBA history

On January 18, Kevin Durant achieved a brilliant achievement. According to CrazyStats, his career total score with the Suns exceeded 3,000 points, making him the fourth player in NBA history to score more than 3,000 points with four different teams. Previously, only Walter Free, Bernard King and Moses Malone had accomplished this feat. Durant once again wrote his own legendary chapter with his outstanding scoring ability and long-lasting career .

 

Durant's career spans four teams, and each stop has demonstrated his extraordinary offensive talent and adaptability:

1. Thunder : 17,566 points

2. Warriors : 5,374 points

3. Brooklyn Nets : 3,744 points

4. Suns : 3,053 points

 

Since entering the league in 2007, Durant has been a nightmare for opposing defenses with his smooth mid-range shooting, accurate three-pointers and comprehensive scoring methods. In the Thunder, he became one of the most threatening scorers in the league, winning four scoring titles; in the Warriors, he was an indispensable part of the championship puzzle; in the Nets, he maintained efficient scoring; now, Durant continues to consolidate his Hall of Fame status in the Suns.

Durant's achievement of scoring more than 3,000 points on four teams puts him among the elite in basketball history. His predecessors include:

1. Walter Free : A smart shooting guard known for his breakthroughs and jump shots.

2. Bernard King : A top scoring machine who shocked the NBA with his 60- point performance in a single game .

3. Moses Malone : Three-time MVP winner, with unparalleled dominance under the basket.

 

Durant not only matched the scoring achievements of these predecessors, but also carved out a unique historical position with his shooting range and flexibility that were far ahead of his time.

Although injuries have affected his career many times, Durant is still one of the most threatening scorers in the league. At present, his career total score is approaching the top ten in history, and is expected to climb further. Every scoring breakthrough is a crowning of his personal glory, and it also makes people rethink the definition of "the best scorer in history."

Durant's legend is still being written. With his accurate shooting and outstanding scoring performance, he continues to add a touch of color to basketball history.
