Kevin Durant picks new nickname

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant insists that he prefers "The Servant" as his new nickname.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant has accepted "The Servant" as his new nickname as he continues his bid to win a first league MVP award.

The 25-year-old will return to league action this week after playing his part in the All-Star game, and he has explained the meaning behind his new moniker.

"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," he told Grantland.

Durant leads the NBA in scoring with 31.5 points per game as the Thunder lead the Western Conference with a 43-12 record so far this season.
