“It’s been a long journey to get to this point and be mentioned with the greats. It took a lot of work, a lot of preparation, a lot of people helped me get here. It’s a huge privilege to be standing with legends like this and I’m really happy,” Kevin Durant said.

Topping the NBA's all-time scoring list is LeBron James, who has scored 39,124 points to date. The Los Angeles Lakers star was also one of the first colleagues to post on social media to congratulate Durant.

If he continues to maintain his form and avoid injuries, Durant will likely continue to climb the ranks of the NBA's all-time leading scorers. Above Durant on this list are Carmelo Anthony with 28,289 points and Shaquille O'Neal with 28,596 points.

The 35-year-old star still hopes to continue improving his achievements.

Over his 16-year career, Durant has been selected to the All-Star team 13 times, the All-NBA team 12 times, won the championship twice and won 2 NBA Finals MVP titles. In addition to the above titles and achievements, Durant also became the "scoring king" of the NBA 4 times in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. In 2022, Durant was honored in the NBA's 75th Anniversary All-Star team.

Since arriving in the NBA in 2007, Durant has played for five different clubs including the Seattle Supersonics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and now the Phoenix Suns.
