June 29th, the NBA official website today wrote an article counting various data from Durant, indicating that the 36-year-old veteran who has been selected as the All-Star 15 times is still one of the best and efficient scorers in the league. Here is all.

scorer at the historical level

1. Durant ranked eighth in the historical scoring list with 30,571 points. He ranked fourth in the field of 27.2 points per game among players who have played at least 500 games.

2. In the past 52 years, he is the only player to average 25 points + 1 steal + 1 block while playing at least 500 games.

3. Among the 52 players who scored at least 20,000 points, Durant's true shooting percentage (62%) was second only to Stephen Curry. He is also the only player among these players to shoot at least 50% from the field and at least 37% from three-point shooting.

Note: Real career hit rate = score/[2×(number of shots + 0.44×number of free throw shots)]

4. Durant has 13 seasons (including five consecutive seasons since the Achilles tendon tear in 2019) averaged more than 25 points per game, and has a real hit rate of 60% in at least 35 games. No other player has had such performances in more than nine seasons, with James, Curry, Letters and Harden behind him.

Mid-range Master

5. Over the past 29 years, Durant is the only player to shoot at least 200 midranges in five seasons and hit 50%. He has done this in the last four seasons.

6. Durant has shot 52.1% from mid-range shots over the past ten seasons, while he has shot just 41.9% from the first seven seasons of his career.

7. This season, Durant's three-point attempts are 1.3 times his mid-range shots, the highest proportion in his career. This is also his sixth three-point attempt in 17 seasons than mid-range shots, last time in the 2020-21 season.

Tactical role changes: more bottom corners, fewer lows and less balls (also hold less balls)

8. Durant hit 44 bottom corner three-pointers in the 2024-25 season, more than 12 more than any other season he has and more shots than his single season in the first 15 seasons of his career. He is one of nine players who have made at least 75 corner three-pointers and hit 50% of the field.

9. In the five seasons since the Achilles tendon injury, Durant has shot 50.9% on bottom corner three-pointers (108/212).

10. He shot 79.4% from the restricted area, ranking fourth among 234 players with at least 100 shots. But that only accounts for 11% of his total shooting attempts, the lowest percentage of his career, ranking 14th lowest among 181 players with at least 500 shots.

11. According to SecondSpectrum, Durant averaged 2.5 low-post singles per game, the least in his 11 seasons. Overall, he has only 9.6% of the ball-holding time per minute, the lowest percentage in his past seven seasons (since joining the Warriors).

12. His assist-and-turnover ratio was 1.38, the lowest in his past 11 seasons.

Adventure and defense are helpful

13. The Suns' record of Durant was 33 wins and 29 losses when he was absent, while the record was only 3 wins and 17 losses when he was absent. The biggest difference is the defensive end. When he is on the court, the team loses 6.8 points less points per 100 rounds than when he is not on the court (116.1 vs. 122.8).

14. Over the past 11 seasons, the opponent has been shooting below expectations on his defense. This season, the opponent hit 41.1% on his defense, while the expected shooting percentage is 46.8%. This difference ranks fifth among the 229 players who have made at least 500 shots in defense.

15. He has achieved 50+ steals and 50+ blocks in 13 seasons, with the most active players.
