Kevin Durant stands as one of the NBA's most prolific scorers, ranking eighth on the all-time scoring list. Since entering the league in 2007, his scoring prowess has remained consistent, averaging over 25 points per game each season. What sets Durant apart is his remarkable efficiency; he has not dipped below 50% shooting since 2011-12. LeBron James, during a podcast, praised Durant's ability to score efficiently across three levels—three-point range, mid-range, and at the rim, stating that he is uniquely equipped as a scorer in the league.

In his illustrious career, Durant maintains averages of 27.2 points on 50.2% shooting, showcasing his ability to deliver even at the age of 36, where he averaged 26.6 points in 2024-25 with impressive shooting splits. After overcoming a torn Achilles, Durant has not only returned to form but has actually improved his scoring efficiency post-injury, a testament to his resilience and skill.
