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.
