According to David Brandt of The Associated Press, the Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant has made history by becoming the eighth player ever to score 29,000 points in his NBA career.

Now at the age of 36, Durant is having a remarkable start to the season, averaging an impressive 28.7 points per game over the first three games.

In reflecting on his achievement, Durant emphasized the importance of those who have supported him throughout his journey, stating, “I’ve got to give credit to the people who have helped me since I was a kid. Teammates who passed me the ball, set screens for me, coaches who drew up plays for me.”

His acknowledgment of teammates and coaches highlights the collaborative nature of basketball and the crucial roles that others play in an individual’s success.
