Kevin Durant is slaying opponents and pulling out secrets. The “Slim Reaper” is letting us know a lot about him, though just a 30-second video. Social media is helping us learn the most about NBA players and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There is something great about using the power of TikTok to extract insights on NBA players. Thanks to the Boardroom’s 30-second clip, we now know a lot about KD.
While we can get overly critical of the short format video, if used correctly it can be quite entertaining and help fans get closer to players.
“I’m ashy”: Kevin Durant is faced with the most absurd questions from the internet
Kevin was asked a few questions, including ones about his nickname, The Slim Reaper. The reason behind this is that he is skinny and he does his work at night.
We also learned the reason behind his Twitter profile picture. The picture is from the Disney movie Tangled and Durant has a great reason behind using it.
He says, “I think a lot of people got their knives aimed at me and I’m just back, (just) chillin’ with a smirk on my face“, exactly how Flynn Rider is.

He also hates questions about his height. This is quite natural, given that there is a massive discrepancy between what we can see and what is on the record. If you google Kevin Durant’s height, you will get the answer as 6ft 10in. However, most eyewitnesses swear he is more than 7ft tall.
“I’m ashy”, is the funniest thing about him on the internet according to him. We won’t hold him against it although there is some truth to that.
The “Slim Reaper” is back to collecting awards and wins
KD is averaging a cool 29.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game. You can pretty much rest assured he will start the all-star game. And he is also comfortably leading the Nets to a good record.
Just this last week, he was named Eastern player of the week. For his highly efficient performances.

As the Nets continue to build momentum, it will be interesting to see how far they can go. Durant is still as unguardable as ever. And that should be enough to at least put them in the playoffs. To go further, he will need to channel his inner “God”. A feat we think he can comfortably do.
