KD continues to climb the all-time scoring list.

Kevin Durant is easily one of the best players to ever step on a basketball court. When all is said and done, he will likely end up top 10 on the overall list of greatest players. Having said that, he is far from finished when it comes to blessing us with his immense talent.

Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are currently on a tear. This includes a ninth win in a row last night, against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Durant was sensational, yet again, and he even hit a huge milestone during the game. Simply, he passed Tim Duncan for 15th on the all-time scorer's list.

As one can imagine, Durant is very excited. However, he remained humble noting that this is something he wants to speak with his friends and family about.

“My career to be able to pass an all-time great, legend, somebody who changed the game, it’s something that I’ll call my folks tonight and talk over and just reminisce on how we got here,” Durant said.
