Kevin Durant Just Finished His 18th Season Averaging 26 on 52/41/87. Ninety Percent Jump Shots.

Kevin Durant is 37 years old. He just played 78 games. He averaged 26 points per game on 52/41/87 shooting splits. And here's the wild part: 90% of his field goal attempts were jump shots. Not drives. Not dunks. Not free throw hunting. Just a 6'10" man pulling up from anywhere on the court and making it look effortless.

Most players decline by relying more on craft and less on athleticism. KD's game was always craft. He was a 7-footer who moved like a guard and shot like a sniper from day one. That's why the aging curve barely touches him — there's nothing to lose. The jumper doesn't age.

In an era obsessed with efficiency and three-point volume, Durant is a reminder that the midrange game isn't dead. It's just that only a handful of players in history could weaponize it like this. Durant might be the greatest jump shooter who ever lived, and his 18th season just proved it again.
