Durant's milestone achievement was celebrated during a Suns game, with a video message from O'Neal congratulating him.

Kevin Durant surpasses Shaquille O'Neal to become the eighth-leading scorer in NBA history, now with 28,610 career points.
Durant's achievement was celebrated with a video message from O'Neal during a Suns' game, praising his accomplishment.
The Phoenix Suns' recent victory over the Philadelphia 76ers highlighted Durant's milestone, with teammate Grayson Allen also shining by matching the franchise record of nine 3-pointers.
Durant, at 35, continues to perform at a high level, not ruling out further achievements in his career as he eyes the seventh spot on the scoring list, currently held by Wilt Chamberlain.
The Suns are in a tight race for a playoff position in the Western Conference, currently not in a top-six spot but close to the Sacramento Kings.
