Texas alum Kevin Durant is the 8th player in NBA history to score 30,000 career points

Durant is now in the company of Michael Jordan and more

Last night, Texas Longhorns alum Kevin Durant became the eighth player in NBA history to reach the threshold of scoring 30,000 career points. Durant, now 36 years old, is currently a forward for the Phoenix Suns. He broke the record during a game versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Durant now finds himself in the company of the likes of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, and more — to name just a few of the 30,000-point club’s elite members.

“It’s a true honor to be in the same category as those players who helped shape the game and pushed the game forward,” Durant said, according to the New York Post. “That’s always been my goal to get the most out of myself every day, get the most out of my career. To be mentioned with those guys, I must be doing something right.”

Durant, a four-time NBA champion, played for Texas from 2006 to 2007.
