Kevin Durant moved up once more in the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the 7th spot.

The Rockets superstar overtook Chamberlain with a left wing three pointer in the 3rd quarter of their game vs the Portland Trailblazers. 

Durant now has 31,435 points, and next to surpass on the list is Dirk Nowitzki at 6th place with 31,560 points. 

Durant, a two-time NBA champion with the Warriors, also made history earlier in the season by being only the 8th player in NBA history to score 31,000 points.
