Kevin Durant is on the verge of selling his 20,000th. point of his career. He would be the second youngest player ever to succeed. He talked to ESPN about this. He never dared to dream of it.
After surviving injury, KD will probably return to Thursday night when his team meets the Clippers. He still needs 25 points to reach the 20,000 career-point mark. At the age of 29, after LeBron James, he would be the second youngest player ever to do so.
Moreover, he would only be one of five players to reach this barrier before their 30th birthday. Birthday break. The other four are James, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
“These are incredible names,”KD said to ESPN,”and they are names I would never have dreamed of being associated with. But knowing that you belong to this group of players, because the numbers say it in black and white, is a very special feeling.”
Durant emphasized at the same time, however, that he had never set himself the goal of scoring a particularly high number of points,”That’s why I don’t play basketball.”
