Kevin Durant surpasses Dirk Nowitzki for 17th all-time in 3-pointers made

Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant moved up another all-time list in tonight’s win against the Denver Nuggets, surpassing Dirk Nowitzki for 17th all-time in 3-pointers made.

Durant entered tonight needing to make three 3-pointers to pass Nowitzki, and he did exactly that. He now has 1,983 3-pointers compared to Nowitzki’s 1,982. Jason Kidd sits only five 3-pointers ahead of Durant, so he could surpass Kidd for the 16th spots in the next couple games. Once he passes Kidd, he will be behind Suns’ teammate Eric Gordon, who reached 2,000 career triples just last game.

Congrats to @KDTrey5 of the @Suns for moving to 17th all-time in 3-pointers made!
