The Official Kevin Durant Nickname Extravaganza


Yesterday's Kevin Durant nickname drive produced a wealth of great suggestions. You'll see on the right a poll to coronate Mr. Kevin Durant with a shiny, new nickname that will catapult him to great fame. So please, go vote. If there is anything that is particularly egregious, I'll add it as a choice.

  3. I only voted for "Kid Delicious" because "The Baby-Faced Assassin" is off the table.

    I've been calling him "The Savior" in hope he'll live up to it and keep the Sonics where they belong.

    I also like Durantula

  6. Unfortunately I can't add anything without messing up the results. Choices are set. Hope there is something you like.

    Wow. Kid Delicious was my suggestion and it's doing well. I think it's versatile, I can picture Durant shooting from three and the announcer going "Kid...." and then screaming "...DELICIOUS!" when it goes in. I also picture fun on the TNT set with with Kenny telling Charles not to eat Durant just because he's Delicious. I also like that it's 4-syllables each for Kid Delicious to Kevin Durant. I also like the KD/KD symmetry. These are some of the many things I like about Kid Delicious*.

    *I like Daggers too but I think that is a nickname you grow into as you hit more game winning shots in your career.

    maybe if he shot more than 38% overall or played more than 10 games in his career should we give him a nick name

    As already mentioned, "Durantula" is popular in Seattle. "Crazy Legs" is another possibility.

    I didn't know it when I suggested it but apparently there is also a pool player nicknamed 'Kid Delicious'. I guess if LaDainian Tomlinson can call himself LT nicknames can be used twice as well. Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard for example.

    we don't give someone a nickname, it's bestowed on them by fellow ballplayers, broadcasters, or people working inside the nba. and besides it'll probably end up being something stupid like K-Dur or KDizzle like every other freakin name these days

  23. How about "Da Rain"?

    I'm not sure if it's problematic because it ties him to Kemp. But all the other names just don't ring dynamically. I just like the sound of "Durant brings Da Rain!"

    ReplyDelete
  24. There is a Sugar Shane Mosley, but Sugar Ray Leonard has to be the most famous Sugar.

    Except of course, actual sugar.

  27. I am the grass roots lobby for Sonic Youth as the official nickname, but Durantula rocks hard. Fuck you, anonymous hater.

    I'd like to call him The Anomaly:
    1. a deviation from the common rule, type, arrangement, or form.
    2. someone or something anomalous: With his quiet nature, he was an anomaly in his exuberant family.
    3. an odd, peculiar, or strange condition, situation, quality, etc.
    4. an incongruity or inconsistency.
    5. Astronomy. a quantity measured in degrees, defining the position of an orbiting body with respect to the point at which it is nearest to or farthest from its primary.
    6. Meteorology. the amount of deviation of a meteorological quantity from the accepted normal value of that quantity.
    He's like nothing else.

    Saleh...like from The Air Up There. With those skinny arms he looks like he's been out surviving the Serengeti on nothing but zebra shit and basketball.

  36. An homage to boxing legend Roberto Duran:

    Kevin "Brick Hands" Durant

    (Duran's nickname was "Hands of Stone" or "Stone Hands")

    Seriously tho: Durantula ...or if someone's not already got it, Spiderman or Spidey. Kid Delicious is okay.

    how about "The 278th coming" after the 277 other athletes who have been dubbed the second coming but instead were just the first coming of whoever they are.
