:facepalm

dont like it, but to each his own

[sd3035]

I don't know about that one, I guess it could be worse. He could be Kevin "do you even lift bro?" Durant

[CelticBaller]

[Alan Ogg]

Killer player, but he needs to stop with the fake humble, fake tough guy stuff.

[mr.big35]

slim reaper is the perfect nickname for him. why durant why/

[Ancient Legend]

Too Dark for his beliefs.

The servant? ... dumb

[Jailblazers7]

Jesus, that was the worst ****ing interview.

[tpols]

:facepalm

[Illuminati]

He's a servant to the King. Makes sense.

[JohnMax]

Should've served the ball to Blake Griffin

[NumberSix]

This is why you don't get to make up your own nickname. Idiots come with dumbass names like the servant.


Maybe "soft-serve" would be a better fit.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Is this a jab at the owners? Or is he really just this bad at making nick names?

[heavensdevil]

unrelated, but did you guys see the KD interview during the rising stars game?, he said his mount rushmore was Vince Carter, Tmac and two other players... think another was KG, Ive been trying to look for the clip or a story on it, but have had no luck.

[fpliii]

This isn't more religious shit, is it?

I see right through this phony. Durant is the type of guy who will slit your throat while you sleep. Closet scumbag piece of shit

Just when I thought he couldn't be anymore beta. Why not nickname himself "Lebron's b*tch" or "Second to Lebron every time"?

[lpublic_enemyl]

I like it.

The Servant beneath The King.
first thing that came to mind lmao come on durant think of a better nickname

[KyrieTheFuture]

Do we know who his dad is? Dude's name is probably also Kevin Durant so since birth KD was literally always "The Second".

[Cold soul]

Stupid nickname. :facepalm

[dunksby]

I'm a Durant fan but that is a stupid nickname.

[sd3035]

The way he stated his nickname was very humble, but one could look at it from another angle; you just got served by the servant, bltch

[KyrieTheFuture]

The way he stated his nickname was very humble, but one could look at it from another angle; you just got served by the servant, bltch
So it should have been "The Server"

[hahaitme]

Lmao, shots fired at Durant.. By himself.

I love all you funny people saying "you got served" and shit. If you don't think The Servant is a terrible name I'm afraid you might have some sort of mental disability.

[MavsSuperFan]

Players he looked up to while growing up.. not his Mt Rushmore or whatever.

[Angel Face]

The heir, MJ's successor is so humble willing to go down with the servants. He thinks everyone is equal. He doesn't isolate himself with his people and he views himself and them as equal. That makes a true leader, a great leader. :applause:

Edit:

But that was a shitty nickname.

[WWRWestbrookDo?]

What the flip is KD doing. He's trying way to hard to maintain that nice guy image. Yet in games he's yelling at the other bench and making throat slashes. I like his new found aggressiveness this year but then he comes out and says he wants to be called the servant...smdh.

The Slim Reaper is the best nickname ever

Durant is an even bigger dork than Westbrook.

I wouldnt have believed it if I didnt see the video

[SamuraiSWISH]

Dumbest shit I've EVER heard. He plays mean, but why so fake humble? The Servant? Kukoc was "The Waiter" ... Slim Reaper is by far one of the coolest, most original nicknames in existence. It's also not egotistically made up by himself, or given to himself by himself in corny fashion ala Kobe's Kill Bill rip off "Black Mamba" nickname.

i think he meant "The Servant of God" since he is a very spiritual and religious person but this just comes off as painfully corny considering the sport he is partaking in.

WTF is wrong w/ the dude?

Slim Reaper actually sounds badass and its fitting. And it was given to him by the fans. Why would he reject it?

The Servant??? :oldlol: Utterly horrendous. Not only is it lame that he's giving himself a name and not only does that name sound absolutely corny but he's unintentionally punking himself considering that LBJ's moniker is King James.

Not a good look, especially w/ the whole "tired of being 2nd" mantra KD's been going off about. Well... Mr Durant, your new moniker fits in perfectly w/ the concept of LeBron superiority (the king and the servant).

[BoutPractice]

It's too late, everyone is already calling him Slim Reaper anyway.

[AMERVET]

What a submissive nickname choice.Might as well call himself "the Slave", picking defenses like cotton, how bout just call him slim django.

[NumberSix]

Fcuk it. Let's just call him KD2.

[TheReal Kendall]

What's wrong with KD? Since when do players pick their own nickname?

too late for what?

when he comes on grantland and gives himself "the servant" nick name, that'll gain way more traction.

"Slim Reaper" must have some kind of mockery potential that we haven't thought of that he did think of. Something like "Slim Weeper" but more worse.

[andremiller07]

Slim Reaper is one of the sickest/most fitting nicknames I have ever heard, the servant is beyond gay tbh that's a name for Royal Ivey or someone like that.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

See now if he keeps wrecking the league people are gonna say the nickname is dope and sick

Servant is appropriate though. He is Westbrooks help.

On a personal note, I've always hated your posts, but during the past couple of months I've come to realize you're not that bad of a poster, just a little TOO enthusiastic about Lebron.

Durant hyping LeBron again. So it would be the servant destroying the king. How embarrassing for a king would that be. I mean who would watch their 3rd meeting if hes already the topdog

I think he'd always been religious, but it really came to the forefront with this:

Here's more from his interview with Simmons:

http://deadspin.com/no-kevin-durant-you-are-not-the-servant-1524400666

I don't have a problem with people who are religious, as long as it's not forced upon us. He's approaching the point though where it becomes an issue.
Yea but it all comes across so fake humble / religious. That article raises a great point. This is the guy who was cussing at benches, starting fights with Bosh, calling people fake tough guys ... and the real kicker

Was critiqued for doing the slash of the throat kill 'em sign after dunking on people. He went on tv explaining his actions, then the very next season he's some born again? It's terrible.

Him shunning the persona and the coolest nickname I've heard in ages is pure stupidity. He can still be likable with an on court personality of being someone who takes basketball souls.

It isn't literal. He isn't literally a mercenary for real life darkness. It's just gamesman persona. And it's cool. The Grim Reaper isn't darkness anyway, he's a nonjudgemental taker of lives. Equal opportunity killer, just like Durant.

Hell, the nickname goes hand in hand with his previous slash 'em throat gesture. Why would you not stick it out with this? Fans will still like you. People don't like the LeBron type cause he's arrogant, self serving, cowardly and lacks loyalty. Durant could be the opposite, while still embracing a cool basketball persona that is in line with out he acts, and plays.

Him acting all awkwardly humble, religious, and nice off the court or interviews as if he isn't merciless on the court is more alarmingly fake and contrived. Making him less likable. Just own it Durant. Slime Reaper is so cool.

This nigguh said "The Servant" ... SMH

maybe his performance has been so spectacular this season with all the game-winners that he truly believes a divine being has possessed him and to pay back his "god" he wants to be known as the servant in hopes of said god continuing to bless him with game winners?

I think he'd always been religious, but it really came to the forefront with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqwifGKrdnk



He was asked for the reason for his recent play and he gave the answer he believes in. IMO, (as a fellow Christian) he's correct in his belief that his talent doesn't come from him, and it can all be taken away in an instant. That attitude will keep him humble - can you imagine the bubble he and Lebron must be in with the constant praise. Anything with the word "reaper" is too dark for a Christian. The following verses are probably why he wants to be called the servant.

Matthew 20:25-26
25Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Matthew 20:27-28
27and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- 28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

In a league where a superstar and your main rival is nicknamed the King, how oblivious do you have to be to not understand the Servant isn't exactly the greatest name ever? This is some spoof comedy level shit.

Y'all are STILL getting trolled.

KD trolled the fck outta y'all.

So Durant is somehow trolling everyone by emasculating himself not once, but twice.

OK.

He is a religious person. Servants are looked upon positively in the bible. he was probably thinking a servant of god.

[fpliii]

He was asked for the reason for his recent play and he gave the answer he believes in. IMO, (as a fellow Christian) he's correct in his belief that his talent doesn't come from him, and it can all be taken away in an instant. That attitude will keep him humble - can you imagine the bubble he and Lebron must be in with the constant praise. Anything with the word "reaper" is too dark for a Christian. The following verses are probably why he wants to be called the servant.

Matthew 20:25-26
25Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Matthew 20:27-28
27and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- 28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
I can respect that you're religious and if KD is as well, that's definitely cool in my book.

Swish raised a good point though. It seems sudden and contrived.

No, I just think he's incredibly phony with this whole humble gimmick, when his on court personality is clearly not that at all.

He has an alarming lack of self awareness ... and this self given nick name was unintentionally hilarious. Did you actually watch the interview with Bill Simmons? He was mortified by the stupidity.

He has the greatest nickname staring him in the face, he shuns it in favor of some metaphor for slavery. While his most important obstacle is a dude nicknamed "The King" ... Slim Reaper was too dark for him, yet last year he's slashing his neck and praying for them after dunks.

Upset? I think this is beyond hilarious.

My girlfriend and I have been laughing about it since the incredibly socially awkward interview he had w/ Simmons. All the following internet articles, ISH threads. It's hilarious. He's so stupid. Durant has made himself look totally stupid all through out the web. He contradicts himself all the time.

"I'm here to shine a bright light, I'm not here to be a guy to bring death."

You're not literally bringing darkness, or death Kevin. It's fun gamesmanship, and a cool really marketable nickname. He's literally talked about "having to rip people's heads off before someone does it to him first" in the same damn interview.

Then the kill 'em and pray for 'em gesture. It's a contradiction. You have your nose so far up his ass you can't see the stupidity in that?

First off, resize the image or something. Secondly, I like how you ignore all context. All it says is how many points each player has scored off of FTs. Surprise, surprise, there's going to be a fairly big gap when one player shoots nearly 90% from the line and the other shoots closer to 70%. And :roll: at you acting like Durant is cheesing the rip through move several times a game. I think I've seen him use it when the other team was in the bonus maybe two or three times over the last several weeks.
