Kevin Durant passes Hakeem Olajuwon for 12th on scoring list

 he future Hall of Famer has a chance to ascend into the top 10 by the end of the season.



Kevin Durant scored a game-high 39 focuses in a 100-95 misfortune to the Lakers on Thursday night. Simultaneously, the future Corridor of Famer passed Lobby of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon for twelfth on the record-breaking scoring list.


Late in the final quarter, Durant drove hard to the crate while crashing into Austin Reaves. Durant figured out how to make the extreme container to outperform Olajuwon.

Last season, Durant amassed 1,366 focuses in 47 games, which was pretty much on pace with his past season (1,643 focuses in 55 games in '21-22).


What's straightaway: Assuming that Durant scores around 1,600 focuses this season, he'd have to the point of passing Carmelo Anthony (28,289) for No. 9 on the scoring list. A solid season with at least 2,000 focuses would give him all that could possibly be needed to pass Shaquille O'Neal (28,596) for the No. 8 spot.


In conclusion, Durant needs 3,108 additional focuses to turn into the eighth individual from the 30,000-point club.
