Overview
- NBA coaches selected Durant as a 2026 All-Star reserve, making him the oldest All-Star in Rockets history and marking his 16th career selection, fourth-most all-time.
- Durant sits sixth on the all-time scoring list at roughly 31,700-plus points after passing Dirk Nowitzki and is about 540 points from Michael Jordan for fifth.
- Presented with a projection of 25 points per game over about 268–270 games to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points, Durant said he wasn’t sure he could sustain that pace.
- Durant called LeBron James essentially out of reach on the scoring list, with estimates placing the climb at more than 400 additional games at his career scoring rate.
- This season Durant is averaging 26-plus points with 51% shooting from the field and 40.5% from three, and observers note that future availability will shape how far he rises.
