Since winning his first NBA title, Golden State Warriors guard Kevin Durant has gone back to "I don't care what you think" mode, something that was quite evident with his most recent Twitter activity. Sunday, Durant was back to handing out Ls, pondering out loud why the young Philadelphia 76ers core has already come up with a nickname for themselves.
In case you missed it, Sixers star Joel Embiid tweeted out a nickname (as chosen by the fans) for the team's youthful lineup following the NBA Draft.
As far as nicknames go, FEDS has a pretty good ring to it, so we would definitely give it a thumbs up. However, the only thing Durant was wondering when he heard about the name is why they even have one in the first place.
In Durant's own words, he pondered aloud "how they got a nickname and ain't played no games together?" A valid question, but in our experience, it's not when a nickname is chose that determines whether or not it sticks, it's the quality of it. We think it's going to stick, KD. Provided that they actually manage to stay on the court and off the injury reserve list...
