Kevin Durant passes Oakland's Gary Payton on NBA all-time scoring list

Share

For the second straight game, Kevin Durant has passed a Hall of Famer on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

With two free throws at the 4:52 mark in the second quarter on Wednesday night in Utah, Durant dropped in his 21,813th and 21,814th points, tying and passing Oakland native Gary Payton for 32nd place on the all-time list.

Payton was born in Oakland and attended Skyline High School.

On Monday against Memphis, Durant passed Celtics icon Larry Bird.

Next up on the list? Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, who sits at 22,195 career points.

Considering that Durant has a soft spot in his heart for all things Seattle, passing Payton surely means a lot to him.
