    I thought Boris Diaw was the Slim Reaper. For other reasons though.

    Surprised at the lack of love for Durantula. The guys is long and agile like a Tarantula, so it's perfect. Plus, somebody tried to sue him over the nickname, so I think its already been set.

    Slim Reaper is sorta cool, but it is not better than Kobe's new nickname:

    The Slim Raper.

    I kid, though, personally, I like Darantula.

    That picture is rad. But the nickname is not.

    Durantula all the way.

    If the man doesn't like it.

    Can't have it. Goes against my good guy image. Keep the lame ol' initials.

    I like it. It's edgy, and sounds like a 2-bit rapper.

    Of course, as JR mentioned, it contradicts Durant's image as a clean, wholesome young man and further contradicts the NBA's decade long quest to make the league as vanilla, stale, and mass appealed as possible.

    Call me crazy, but I miss the days of real nicknames and players with actual personality.

    Given the timing of this, my first thought was that it's Beverley.
