Not being in the Top 20 players list in the all time scoring chart when the season began, Durant started his journey by surpassing Vince Carter in the month of November. Averaging more than 28 points per game even in his 15th season, it hasn’t taken the Slim Reaper much time to even leave behind Duncan in the all time scoring list.
