Kevin Durant continued his climb up the NBA’s all-time scoring leaderboard on Saturday, and passed a legend in the process.
In scoring his 26th (and 27th) point against the Heat on Saturday night, Durant officially passed Michael Jordan for fifth on the all-time scoring list; the player many see as the GOAT finished his tremendous career with 32,292 points scored despite missing a large chunk of games in the middle of his career. Durant scored the go-ahead bucket with a corner three off of a Reed Sheppard assist to push the Rockets’ lead to 117–109, and push past Jordan in the record books.
