With his first 3-pointer on Wednesday night, Kevin Durant passed Vince Carter for 10th on the all-time 3-pointers made list.
Kevin Durant’s ascent through the NBA’s record book took another turn Wednesday night when he passed Vince Carter for 10th place with 2,291 3-pointers made.
Durant’s historic 3 — which elevated him from a tie with Carter — came in the first quarter against the San Antonio Spurs. Durant finished with 24 points (8-for-17 overall, 2-for-4 on 3-pointers) in the Rockets’ 111-99 loss.
Durant, an 11-time All-Star, reached the milestone in 1,166 games. Carter nailed 2,290 3-pointers over his 22 NBA seasons over 1,541 career games.
Durant will have a long way to go before he reaches his next milestone, as the Philadelphia 76ers’ Paul George (2,414 3-pointers) lies ahead and, like Durant, is still active.
Kevin Durant moves to No 10 on the all-time 3-pointers made list, passing Vince Carter.
Durant’s next game will be Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks (8 ET, NBA League Pass).
