Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns is on pace to have one of the finest shooting seasons in NBA history, having just passed the halfway point of the 2023-2024 season.
Durant averages 30.6 points per game while shooting 51.4% from the field and 47.1% from three. If he continues at this rate for the rest of the season, he will become the only player in NBA history to average 30 points per game on 50+% field shooting and 45+% three-point shooting.
Curry accomplished this incredible achievement in 2015-2016. That year, he led the league in scoring and was voted MVP.
While Durant is not presently ranked among the top five in MVP odds, if he maintains his current pace, he has a good chance of being voted MVP for the second time in his career.
Durant has averaging approximately 30 points per game since joining the Suns less than a year ago, shooting 53% from the field and 49% from three.
That implies, at 35 years old, KD is performing at his highest level since his MVP season in 2013.
