Kevin Durant has been virtually unstoppable lately. And by lately we pretty much mean since he entered the league in 2007.

How hot is he right now? He's averaging just over 37 points a game in the last 10 games.

His torrid play has earned him a new nickname, courtesy of the Internet. That nickname? The "Slim Reaper."

So, does he like the new nickname? Not really. He had this to say Thursday during an impromptu Q&A with fans on Twitter:

OK, so KD it is. But Slim Reaper is pretty cool.

I like KD better RT @BuatsRovert: @KDTrey5 thoughts on slim reaper as a nickname?
