Kevin Durant passes Shaquille O’Neal for 8th all-time in league scoring

In a season in which the Phoenix Suns have had their ups and downs, there has been one constant: the scoring of Kevin Wayne Durant. He entered Wednesday night's game in 9th place all-time in scoring in NBA history. 28,588. Next up on the scoring list? None other than Hall of Fame center and former Sun Shaquille O’Neal.

Durant as 4-of-9 in the first half against the Atlanta Hawks, giving him 8 points at the break. That sent him to the locker room tied with the Shaqtus in 8th place all-time.

In the third quarter, it didn’t take long.
