With all the attention on Kobe Bryant surpassing Michael Jordan’s career scoring mark, it’s worth noting there are younger men also setting a torrid scoring pace.
One of those is Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, the reigning league MVP who has become the second youngest player to reach the 15,000-point milestone, thanks to this early basket against the Sacramento Kings.
