Kevin Durant spoke frankly about the legendary status of his initials being his nickname, claiming it's more iconic than Michael Jordan's MJ or Allen Iverson's AI.
NBA players are often given unique nicknames that fans refer to them as, but some simply choose to go by their initials.
Chris Paul became CP, Paul George became PG, and most memorably, Kevin Durant became KD. Durant would even bet that no player-initial combo comes close to him in terms of a nickname.
Durant spoke to Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts on his podcast, where he explained why he, as KD, is more memorable than Jordan as MJ or Iverson as AI, primarily because there is no other famous KD.
"But AI is in hard competition with A.I. I don't have a competitor. Mine is just like standalone; MJ is also Michael Jackson. KG would be up there, but I edge him out because I am just… Better." "
