Kevin Durant and Nicknames...

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant has had many nicknames over his illustrious NBA career.  He's been known as "KD" (obviously), "The Second Coming", "The Durantula", "K-Smoove", and "The Slim Reaper" (my personal favorite).  Well now he's decided he doesn't want to go by any of those names.  He prefers to go by "The Servant".

"I like to serve everybody. My teammates. Ushers at the game. The fans...I know it's kinda weird to make your own nickname, but I like that one better,"

Well it's a good thing you're not allowed to make up your own nickname (ask George Costanza), because this might be one of the worst nicknames of all-time; for obvious reasons.  Sure, I'm positive if announcers start referring to him as "The Servant" during broadcasts, Thunder ratings will go up in the Deep South, but it's just wrong on all kinds of levels.

I know there are some clowns out there who can't wait to refer Durant as "The Servant".  Don't do it.  Nothing good will come from it and you'll probably get your ass kicked if taken out of context (or not taken out of context).

As poor of a choice as "The Servant" is, it has me thinking.  I need a nickname (aside from asshole, dipshit, and dickweed).  From now on I'd prefer to go by "The Obnoxious Whitie".  If "The Slim Reaper" can do it, why can't I?  I think this has legs.
