1 Minute of Glory in the Fourth! Durant Ties and Surpasses—Is Nowitzki’s Record History?
In the NBA regular-season game between the Rockets and Pelicans on January 19th, the Rockets secured a 119-110 victory, with Kevin Durant etching his name into history. In the final minute, Durant tied Dirk Nowitzki for the 6th spot on the all-time scoring list, fittingly using Nowitzki’s signature one-legged fadeaway—a move Durant has openly acknowledged learning from the German legend. He later surpassed Nowitzki to claim the 6th place outright via free throws after drawing a foul in the closing moments. This milestone is a testament to Durant’s status as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, boasting four scoring titles and elite shooting efficiency. It also symbolizes the passing of the torch, as a student of Nowitzki’s game now joins and surpasses his idol in the record books.
