At 37 years old, Durant became the oldest player in NBA history to score 2,000 points in a season, ranking second to Amen Thompson in total minutes played. He averaged at least 25.0 points per game in each of his past 17 seasons played, which is the second-most all-time, behind LeBron James with 20.

What comes next?

Durant moved from eighth to fifth place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Wilt Chamberlain, Dirk Nowitzki, and Michael Jordan during the 2025-26 campaign. He is now tied for the seventh-most All-NBA selections in league history, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James, and Karl Malone being the only other players with at least 28,000 career points, 8,000 rebounds, and 5,000 assists. Durant had the fourth-best defensive field goal percentage (42.2%) among players who defended an average of 10 shot attempts per game. The All-NBA first-, second-, and third-team selections were determined by a global media panel of 100 voters. Durant is the 10th different Rocket to have earned the All-NBA distinction, and he is the first since his former Oklahoma City teammates James Harden and Russell Westbrook did so in the 2019-20 season.
