What’s My Name?

Kevin Durant needs one.

Kevin DurantWe asked Kevin Durant himself if he has any nicknames, and all he could come up with is “KSmoove.” It’s absurdities like that which got us into the nickname business in the first place. Here’s a player with as much pure offensive talent as anyone to come into the League this millennium, as he showed most recently in the Rookie-Sophomore Game. Obviously, this guy needs a nickname that honors his abilities—and he’s on record as asking us for one. Kevin needs your help.

Whoever has the best nickname will win a dope prize from the SLAM vault and get their name in Trash Talk next month.

    Explain DURANTULA please. Is it a reference to the spider? If so, how so. I still like Baby Ice even though I’ve never seen him do as real finger roll. (He’s just thin like Gervin) I also like ThunderCat.

    Hey T the Bear…keep throw’n em out there man, something will stick. lol

    I like Kid Delicious.

    But Durantula makes sense because of his incredibly long arms and because it sounds like tarantula.

  • Bear Killer

    Deo-durant is good, but the Thunder aren’t always gonna stink, so it’s more of a situational nickname, not really one that can be stuck on him. I’m gonna just say K-Slay. Slays defenses, and his name starts with K and it’s also a pretty dope name.

  • Jack

    KeySlay. Oh yeah.

  • Jack

    Comment above; The “Key” with more of a “ay” sound, just used E cos thats in his name. lol.
