Kevin Durant passes Michael Jordan on NBA all-time scoring list

Houston Rockets star forward Kevin Durant made some major NBA history on Saturday night.

With his point production during Houston’s 123-122 victory over the Miami Heat, Durant passed the legendary Michael Jordan to move into the No. 5 spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Jordan scored 32,292 points over the course of his illustrious career.

Now, the only players who have scored more points in the NBA than Durant are Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James.
