Kevin Durant
January 2026
Durant scored 18 points to move past Nowitzki into sixth on the NBA all-time scoring list, now sitting just behind Michael Jordan. Durant entered needing 17 points, reached the mark, and sealed the milestone with late free throws in a 119-110 win, then credited Nowitzki as a personal idol and rival from earlier in his career.
Kevin Durant, James Harden
December 2025
Kevin Durant and James Harden face each other in Houston for the first time as simultaneous top-10 all-time scorers, days after Durant passed 31,000 points and Harden climbed above Carmelo Anthony into 10th on the NBA’s career list. Harden’s late-career scoring surge after his Houston explosion years now has him chasing Shaquille O’Neal for ninth, while Durant’s sustained efficiency gives him a realistic shot at moving past Wilt Chamberlain, Dirk Nowitzki and even Michael Jordan if he maintains his current output.
Tyrese Haliburton
December 2025
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, rehabbing an Achilles tear from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, will join “NBA on Prime” as a player contributor, sharing behind the scenes content on his recovery and offering analysis across the season, starting with Tuesday’s NBA Nightcap broadcast. Haliburton says he wants to counter overly negative, narrative driven talk shows by joining Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Udonis Haslem and host Taylor Rooks to highlight modern players positively, explain tactics more clearly for casual fans and add a current locker room perspective to Prime’s studio coverage.
