00:00The story here is Kevin Durant in the loss.

00:04He becomes the eighth player in NBA history

00:08to reach 30,000 points.

00:10Look at these names, Scotty, that he joins.

00:11LeBron, Kareem, Karl Malone, Kobe, Jordan,

00:15Dirk Nowitzki, and Will Chamberlain.

00:18Kevin Durant now sitting among those legends

00:21on the NBA leaderboard.

00:23I mean, it's really impressive.

00:26It's just as simple as that.

00:28He can flat out score from anywhere.

00:30I've always thought his two favorite shots

00:33were the wing, dagger, and the elbow.

00:37He loves to get to the wing, shoot a three.

00:40He loves to shoot from that elbow,

00:43either side, step back.

00:45And he's seven foot tall.

00:47It's impossible to block his shot

00:49because he jumps up and then he releases backwards.

00:55His hand is like this when he lets it fly.

00:58He shoots up and over anything,

00:59and he's already taller than everyone else to begin with.

01:02He's had it going since high school in Maryland, you know,

01:07in D.C.

01:10And I think that he obviously had it going in Austin,

01:15and he's had it going his entire career.

01:17I find it strange, to be honest,

01:20because I think he's, you know, firmly, you know,

01:25a guy that is mature now in his comments about basketball.

01:30When they talk about, the other day,

01:32someone was saying that their locker room's broken.

01:35And he said, I understand your job.

01:38I get it.

01:39I completely respect what you have to do

01:42is come into this room

01:43and think you can figure everything out

01:45because you have stories you have to tell

01:47and a job to do.

01:48I get it.

01:49He said, but we, you know, you walk in here,

01:50we're all doing our own thing

01:52and getting ready for a game and stretching

01:54or getting organized or putting tape on or whatever it is.

01:56And you're just wrong.

01:59You don't know what you're talking about,

02:01but I appreciate that you think you do

02:03when you come in once for four minutes

02:05and we're in here every single day,

02:07every single night, every single game,

02:09and you show up once a season for four minutes

02:11and you have us all figured out.

02:13But good luck to you anyway for trying.

02:15I think he's mature now.

02:16He talks about business in the NBA maturely.

02:19I think he talks about trades maturely.

02:22When people ask him, you're going to be traded?

02:24He's like, not now.

02:26You know, I'm just trying to make the playoffs.

02:29You know, can we not, can we table that for now?

02:32Honestly, and then he laughs like,

02:33I mean, this really isn't the time, is it?

02:35He's like, I just went 30,000.

02:37You want to talk about this?

02:38Like, really?

02:39So I think he's gotten older and wiser

02:42and I know he misses a lot,

02:45takes a lot of vacations, whatever you want to call it,

02:48but there's no denying his greatness as a scorer.

02:51I mean, this guy's a pure scorer.
