Kevin Durant becomes NBA’s sixth all-time scorer, chasing Michael Jordan

With just fifteen seconds remaining, Kevin Durant hit free throws to officially surpass Dirk Nowitzki on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Immediately receiving a roaring standing ovation, KD now solely occupies the sixth spot with 31,562 points. This milestone demanded immediate tribute, delivered by the legend of rival Dallas. On the big screen, Nowitzki praised Durant’s transformation into an absolute offensive reference.

"I’m not exactly happy he passed me!" the German joked, adding, "He is one of the purest, smoothest shooters this sport has ever seen. A seven-footer playing like a guard. Off the dribble, off-balance, or in motion, there is not much you can do to stop him one-on-one. He is the most natural scorer basketball has ever had. Congrats KD, keep climbing!"

A torch is passed, and now, he has the great Michael Jordan next in his sights.
