Kevin Durant Becomes First Player Since Michael Jordan To Begin NBA Season With 13 Consecutive 25-Point Games
Cementing his place as one of the best sharpshooters in the league.
Kevin Durant is uncontestedly one of the best shooters in the NBA. Known for his sniper-scoring ability and three-pointers, the Brooklyn Nets superstar recently hit a milestone very few have been able to accomplish.
ESPN Stats have indicated that KD’s shooting so far during the 2022-23 season has garnered him a feat only Michael Jordan has achieved in the ’80s. Durant is now the first player since Jordan to score 13 consecutive 25-point games to kick off the season. In the 1988-89 season, Michael Jordan began with 16 straight games scoring 25 or above.
KD has made sure that despite Kyrie Irving‘s absence, he is still able to lead the team with success. As of writing, the Nets are 6-7 and are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference. Tonight, KD and the Brooklyn Nets face-off against the Los Angeles Lakers.
