KD on the verge of of becoming second-youngest player in NBA, behind LeBron to score 20.000 points

Kevin Durant is on the verge of scoring 20.000 points in the NBA at less than 30 years old.
The Warriors superstar will join an exclusive club formed by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan. KD needs 25 more points.

Per ESPN, He is on the verge of becoming the second-youngest player in NBA history, behind LeBron James, to reach that milestone and one of just five to have scored that many points before turning 30, along with James, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan in that order.

"Man, that's some great company, and there's so many names I never thought I'd be in the same conversation with," Durant said. "But to know -- to have it in numbers, in black and white -- to know that you belong in that group is pretty special to me. I'm telling you, man, it's never been a goal of mine to count how many points I have. That's not why I play the game. To be under 30 and do it, that's special to me too. You play in this league for so long, and having an opportunity to do something like this at this age, you just can't take it for granted, because there's not too many players on that list."

He said he had only short-term objectives, and the first was to be the league's top rookie.
"I had one goal when I came into the league, and that was for me to win Rookie of the Year, and I just kept building after that," he said. "My second year, I wanted to average 25. Every year I had a goal, but I never envisioned me with 20,000 points, 30,000 points. I was just taking it a day at a time, just trying to lock in, stay in the moment, and here I am."
