Watch: The exact shot by Kevin Durant to pass Oscar Robertson for 13th spot on NBA All Time scoring list
Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns just passed one of the NBA's legends on the all-time scoring list early in the first quarter against the Chicago Bulls. Durant moved to 13th on the scoring list, taking Oscar Robertson's place after a pull-up jumpshot from mid-range.
Watch the exact moment KD knocked down a shot to take 13th place from Robertson.
Tonight marks his second game for the Suns after a victorious first game against the Charlotte Hornets. Durant scored 23 points to seal the win and his debut as the Suns' new All-Star. KD is averaging 29.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.2 assist this season.
How can the Lakers incorporate Kemba Walker to their system?
The Lakers are looking thin on facilitators this season as their newly acquired point guard, D'Angelo Russell, has met setbacks due to injuries. Additionally, LeBron James will be out of the lineup for multiple weeks. With that said, bringing in Kemba Walker to the team would help address their needs.
Los Angeles is trying to make a final push to save their 2022-23 campaign. With five weeks left in the season, the Lakers are trying everything to make it back to the postseason. Walker is a capable ballhandler and could fit well into their system if he gets to play alongside Anthony Davis.
Davis and Walker could play well together since Russell is still out of the lineup. Kemba could have more chances at getting his shots up since the defense will focus more on AD. With the defense more focused on the All-Star bigman, the former Charlotte Hornets star could elevate his game.
If the two injured stars get back into the lineup, keeping Walker could be a huge key to their lineup. He could come off the bench and do damage to his team with the second unit.
