Amen Thompson, on Durant's latest milestone: "He is one of the best in history"

The latest victory for the Houston Rockets came with a moment for the history books: Kevin Durant surpassed the 31,000 points mark in the NBA, overtaking Shaquille O’Neal and now standing on the doorstep of Wilt Chamberlain in the all-time scoring leaderboard.

The achievement did not go unnoticed by his young teammate Amen Thompson, who was impressed by the privilege of witnessing the milestone from within.

"I never thought I'd be sharing the court with him," Thompson acknowledged after the game. "He's one of the greatest players of all time. Watching him continue to score at this level is incredible."

Durant thus becomes only the 8th player to reach 31,000 points, a record that further solidifies his legacy in a career that seems to defy the passage of time. His offensive production remains a constant for a Rockets team that has found in him the cornerstone guiding their competitive maturity.

An Unprecedented Opportunity with the Rockets

For Thompson, the experience holds immeasurable formative value. The opportunity to coexist with a superstar who continues to expand his legacy serves as a daily reference, and in Houston, they are convinced that this influence will accelerate the development of the young core.

As Durant climbs the historical ranks, he also raises the aspirations of a team transitioning towards the elite. If his statistical impact continues to be accompanied by victories, the Rockets could be witnessing the beginning of a new era marked by the blend of youth and a legendary scorer still in action.
