On February 12, 2025, Kevin Durant reached the legendary milestone of 30,000 points during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This mark was achieved with two perfect free throws, after which the forward quietly returned to defense without any fanfare.

Durant became only the eighth player in league history to reach such heights. On his memorable day, he demonstrated his characteristic humility, not requesting any stoppage of play or tribute video. His career, which began in 2007 with the Seattle SuperSonics, has transformed him into one of the most versatile and consistent snipers in basketball history.

At 36 years old, Durant continues to showcase incredible efficiency at all levels of attack, remaining a role model for young players in the league. Despite a challenging journey through criticism and transfers to different teams, from Oklahoma City to his current Phoenix Suns, his passion for the game remains unchanged.

This milestone in Durant’s career is not only about achieving a personal benchmark but also confirms his place among the greatest basketball players of all time, whose influence on the game will be felt for many years after his retirement.
