HOUSTON (AP) — When Kevin Durant began his NBA career he looked at some of the league's greats as the standard that he hoped to one day reach.

On Friday night against the Phoenix Suns he continued to etch him name among those greats when he joined one of the NBA's elite groups by becoming the eighth player in league history to reach 31,000 career points.

“As you’re coming up into the league you look at these guys as heroes and put them on pedestals, and you look at their accomplishments as sometimes unreachable,” he said. “But then you get on that road to do your thing … and since 2009, 2008 I’ve been focused on being the best player I can be. And they set a standard for each player when they left the league and I try to live up to that standard.”
