26 May
Summary
- Durant named to All-NBA Second Team at age 37.
- He surpassed Chamberlain, Nowitzki, and Jordan in scoring.
- Durant maintained high efficiency in points and shooting percentages.
Kevin Durant has been named to the All-NBA Second Team, adding another accolade to his illustrious career at 37 years old. He was the sole representative from the Houston Rockets on any All-NBA team this season. Durant's performance was marked by impressive efficiency, averaging 26 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 52% from the field, 41% from three-point range, and 87% from the free-throw line.
This season also saw Durant etch his name further in the record books by surpassing Wilt Chamberlain, Dirk Nowitzki, and Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, accumulating 32,597 career points. Despite the Rockets' challenges, including the absence of Fred VanVleet and ball-handling deficiencies that led to a 27th-ranked turnover percentage, Durant consistently provided offensive relief and demonstrated his ability to operate as a floor general when needed.
Durant's contract with the Rockets includes a player option for the following season, with potential earnings of $46 million in 2028 if exercised. His continued elite play in his 18th year solidifies his status as one of the game's greatest offensive talents.
