Welcome to the 30,000-Point Club, Kevin Durant — Or Can We Say the 30,000-Joint Club?
KD: The NBA’s Highest Scorer… Kevin Durant just joined one of the most elite clubs in basketball—the 30,000-point club. With that milestone, he now shares a place in history with legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, and Dirk Nowitzki. But while the basketball world celebrates his scoring greatness, another accomplishment comes to mind—an honorary title that involves KD’s relationship with cannabis.
Wiz Khalifa, rapper and outspoken cannabis advocate, recently called Durant the “biggest stoner in the NBA.” And while there’s a lot of competition, he might not be wrong. Durant has been vocal about his cannabis use and was instrumental, alongside Chris Paul, in pushing the NBA to remove its testing policy for marijuana. The league no longer penalizes players for cannabis use, which is a game-changer for those who rely on it for recovery, relaxation, and overall wellness.
It’s no longer a secret that many athletes, from the NBA to the NFL, use cannabis to manage pain, inflammation, and mental stress. KD, known for his smooth game and effortless scoring, has been moving differently—Whether his movement is due to his natural talent or a little herbal inspiration, we may never know for sure.
While some might wait for KD to confirm or deny Wiz’s claim, the truth is, he doesn’t need to. He’s already played a major role in normalizing cannabis in professional sports, proving that you can be one of the greatest scorers of all time while still advocating for the plant.
So, congrats to Kevin Durant on hitting 30K Joints AND Points. He’s at the highest level of the game—both on and off the court.
