Some people may not know this but KD is actually the nickname of the Brooklyn Nets superstar forward Kevin Durant
Many fans wonder what KD stands for and which NBA player goes by that nickname. It’s been known for a few years that KD is the nickname for Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant. Durant has gone by the nickname KD for several years now and most people have called him that since he was drafted.
The nickname KD is simple and refers to the initials of Durant’s first name and surname. K for Kevin and D for Durant, a simple yet effective nickname that sounds pretty cool too.
Durant has been in the news lately for his unhappiness with the Brooklyn Nets and their front office. He even asked for a trade. When that did not work, he asked Nets owner Joseph Tsai to fire Sean Marks and Steve Nash. Durant discussed with the Nets front office and all parties involved smoothed things over for the time being.
Kevin Durant is a fantastic player and has a good supporting cast with the Brooklyn Nets but it’ll be difficult for him to win the title. The biggest problem is that although Durant and Kyrie Irving are both fantastic players, they have a history of injuries.
Besides that, neither of them are getting any younger. This’ll make it difficult for them to make it far in a young and talented Eastern Conference.
