LeBron, Durant reach milestones, sparking debates on NBA greatness

Posted : 22 November 2023
In a night of basketball milestones, LeBron James and Kevin Durant further solidified their places in NBA history. Durant, in Phoenix's 120-107 victory over Portland, not only scored 31 points but also climbed to the 11th spot on the league's all-time scoring chart, surpassing Alvin Hayes.
 
This significant achievement coincided with Durant's 1,000th career game, where he showcased his prowess with a flawless 6-of-6 from the field, emphasizing his journey toward the top 10. With an impressive season average of 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists per game on 53.5% shooting, Durant, at 35, continues to captivate the league and shows no signs of slowing down.
 
Meanwhile, LeBron James, at 38, added another historic feat to his illustrious career by becoming the first player to reach 39,000 career points. Despite settling for 17 points in the Lakers' win over Utah, James, the all-time scoring leader, demonstrated his enduring impact on the game. Averaging 26.4 points per night, the highest ever for a player in their 21st season, LeBron remains a force on the court. Reflecting on the achievement, James expressed humility, acknowledging the significance of leading the league in all-time scoring.
 
As Durant and James celebrate their individual accomplishments, debates and comparisons emerge in the U.S. basketball community. Former player Rashad McCants, appearing on Gilbert Arenas' podcast, stirred the conversation by asserting that Durant will ultimately be remembered as a better player than LeBron.
 
Paul Pierce added to the discourse, proclaiming Jayson Tatum as the current best American player in the NBA, surpassing both LeBron and Durant in his view. These statements from basketball figures sparked discussions among fans, reigniting the perennial debate over the hierarchy of NBA greatness.
 
While Durant and James continue to etch their names in the record books, the conversations around their legacies and the emergence of new talents like Tatum add layers to the ongoing narrative of basketball excellence in the United States.
