I'm trying my hardest, to figure out how this could be viewed as negative. He is constantly being asked, picked and proded into giving a reply when asked what his nickname should be. Numerous times, he has declined to give an answer.


"Servent" is someone who works hard for others, not for themselves. It couldn't be a better description of the selfless way Durant carries himself in not just basketball, but life as well.


Once again, I cant imagine how this could be spun into a negative light...but obviously you've once again misinterpreted the English language.

I'm not getting into a LeBron/Durant/Jordan/Player X debate.

But I will agree that this nickname is awful

I would rather have a player call himself the Servant than King "Last Name". Ones humble and the other is arrogant.

There you are! Only a matter of time til you would show up with a negative opinion on Lebron. King James was given to him. He didn't make that up himself.

This...

I think if Westbrook continues to take more field goal attempts then KD, they will never win.

Not a catchy nickname but I think Durant does have the killer instinct, if he can win some titles it'll be ok... although I'm calling him KD.

Very weird name.

That interview was interesting. If Lebron said some of the things durant did in that interview we'd have 500 threads about it. Haha

Enjoyed the Simmons interviews with the players.

Geez man, no one posting in that other Lebron thread to argue with, so you're coming in here to try now?


Oh how I heart you!

This is getting creepy.

I'm not even saying anything argumentative. I bet you didn't even listen to the podcast. Just trying to start another fight. Please move along. If you want to keep posting to me please just pm me. Thanks.

In fairness he's right.

If LeBron said some of the things that Durant said we'd have 20 threads about how he lacks the killer mentality that Jordan or Kobe had.

Thank you.

It was a very odd interview in my opinion. I'm not saying anything negative about durant for it but it was very interesting a little awkward. I cant even think of words really haha. And I think I'm right that if Lebron had said those same things people would be all up in arms.

I'm still guessing he hasn't listened to the interview yet so he doesn't know what we are talking about.

He very well might be right, but other than some competitive banter involving lebron, this thread had nothing to do with it. It's obsessive.

You're right, I didn't, but I don't need to.

Making that Lebron comment had nothing to do with anything other than your obsessive nature over Lebron and lebron haters.

Again - in fairness - he wasn't the one that brought up LeBron.

Others did when they wanted to make LeBron look arrogant for being called "King" and Durant seem humble for the "Servant"

You can't have it both ways.

Either a thread is "LeBron free" or it isn't - and once LeBron's nickname was brought up than it's fair game to assess the interview as the question does come up whether people would be critical of LeBron if he had answered some of the questions the way Durant did - and the answer is probably yes they would have been.

Let Durant be a servant of God and all great things will come to him. He is humble and let's his actions do the talking

How can you comment on a topic when you haven't even listened to the source?

My comments on right on topic.
