On NBA night i Phoenix Suns they fought within the friendly walls of the Footprint Center i Philadelphia 76ers with the final result of 115-102. He was undoubtedly the man of the match among the hosts’ ranks Grayson Allenauthor of a 32-point performance with 9/15 from behind the three-point arc.
But it is the one who takes the cover of the race Kevin Durant who entered the game with 28,588 career points scored, just 8 from Shaquille O’Neal. The basket that allows “Durable” reaching eighth place in the all-time scorers list in NBA history occurred at the beginning of the third quarter with a jumper from the free throw line. At the final siren KD closes the match with 22 points, reaching the quota 28.610 and commenting in this way on yet another career record:
“Like I said, I’m grateful to be in the greatest category. We all know what Shaq meant to basketball and being there with him is a great honor for me. He was one of the greatest of all time in the history of sport. I know basketball isn’t just about scoring, it’s about winning championships, it’s about doing other things, but it’s nice to be up there with these names.”
Now he has Durant in his sights Wilt Chamberlain with 31,419 points and Dirk Nowitzki with 31,560, but it will probably take more than one season. Meanwhile KD enjoys the compliments of Shaq:
“Kevin Durant, congratulations on passing me to eighth place in the All-Time Top Scorers. I know that for you the journey doesn’t stop here and that we will probably see each other first. Say hello to your lovely mother, you deserve it!”
