26-year-old Tatum scored 13,784 points. Do you know how many points did 26-year-old Durant get?

Since the 21st century, the NBA can be said to be a prosperous era of small forwards, especially in the 1910s, James, Durant and Leonard won 8 FMVPs, and were very strong. In addition, George and Butler are also superstars, both of which are both offense and defense. However, among young players, Tatum is the best, especially in recent years, he has surpassed several legendary strikers and became the recognized number one small forward. Tatum, 26, has already scored 13,784 points. Do you know how many points the 26-year-old Durant has scored?

Tatum is also a young player. He is 2.03 meters tall and has a strong physical talent. He also debuted at the 2017 draft. Since then, he has been the core player of the Celtics. He helped the team enter the Eastern Conference Finals during the rookie season, and James became famous by dunking. Since then, he has grown rapidly and averaged 23.4 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the third grade, becoming the leader of the Celtics. By 2022, Tatum averaged 27+8+4 per game, which was very versatile, and led the team to the finals, and eventually lost to the Warriors.

After that, Tatum has firmly taken the position of the league's number one small forward, and is a unique existence regardless of performance, team leadership or data. He has been selected for the First Team for four consecutive seasons, and led the Celtics to the championship last year. This season, Tatum also averaged 27 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and it was also a victory for leading the team to win 60+ for two consecutive years. Such a team-leading result is so dazzling. So far in his career, Tatum averaged 23.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, with a total score of 13,784 points, making him the top presence.

Look at Durant again, he is the target of Tatum's pursuit. Both of them are offensive kaleidoscopes and both have sharp scoring abilities. Durant was the second-tier show in 2007, and he came earlier than Tatum's peak. At the age of 21, he could already score 30.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, becoming the league's scoring leader. In the next five years, Durant won the scoring champion four times. In the 13-14 season, Durant averaged 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, successfully won the MVP, and led the team to the finals, and eventually won the runner-up. Before the age of 26, Durant played 569 games, and he averaged 27.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, with a total score of 15,537 points, which is still much ahead of Tatum. Tatum once had a tendency to catch up with Durant, after all, he had won the championship and was very young. But this year Tatum suffered a major injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and it will be reimbursed next season. The scoring gap will further widen, which is a pity.
