Kevin Durant Passes Wilt Chamberlain to Reach No. 7 on NBA All-Time Scoring List

The 37-year-old Rockets star now targets Dirk Nowitzki’s sixth place as his current scoring pace keeps another leap within reach.

Overview

  • Durant moved past Chamberlain with a 25-foot 3-pointer at the 7:57 mark of the third quarter at Portland’s Moda Center.
  • He finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds in a 111-105 loss to the Trail Blazers and also eclipsed 8,000 career rebounds.
  • The milestone followed a first-half tie with Chamberlain’s total before Durant took sole possession early in the third.
  • Fans applauded the announcement in-arena and Blazers acting head coach Tiago Splitter embraced Durant courtside.
  • Dirk Nowitzki’s 31,560 points are next on the list, and multiple outlets say Durant could pass him later this month if healthy.
