Rockets’ Kevin Durant moved into historic top-10 in NBA stats record

Kevin Durant is one of the greatest scorers in NBA history, already sixth all-time on the career scoring charts.

The Houston Rockets superstar moved into the top-10 on another all-time leaderboard on Wednesday night.

KD now ranks 10th in league history in 3-pointers made.

He moved past Vince Carter, who is now in 11th.

Durant has made 2,292 3-pointers.

It'll take him a while to move up another spot. Ninth place is held by the still-active Paul George, who has made 2,414 3-pointers and counting.

Eighth place is Kyle Korver, at 2,450.

Reggie Miller was once the league's leader, but now he's seventh with 2,560.

The top-six looks like this:

Steph Curry - 4,229

James Harden - 3,306

Ray Allen - 2,973

Klay Thompson - 2,823

Damian Lillard - 2,804

LeBron James - 2,602

Obviously, this list is always going to skew toward the most modern players in this pace-and-space era.

Some of the game's early legends never had a 3-point line, and even once it came around, it wasn't immediately embraced.

It's still an impressive place for Durant to reside, given that he does a lot of his best scoring inside the arc.

He'll certainly go down as one of the best ever at simply putting the ball in the basket.
