Change Notably, with 2.2 seconds left in the first overtime, he grabbed a rebound and called for a timeout with time running out, resulting in boos from the crowd at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
To Notably, with 2.2 seconds left in the first overtime, he grabbed a rebound and called for a timeout with time running out. The timeout signal by Durant was not acknowledged by the officials resulting in boos from the crowd at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Houston had no timeouts remaining and the signal by Durant would have resulted in a technical foul had it been recognized by officials. ~2025-37529-79 (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Introduction
Kevin Durant is considered as one of the greatest Olympic male basketball players. He holds the record for the most consecutive four gold medals. Enigye (talk) 14:08, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
Nickname
I believe we should have KD’s iconic nickname as the “Slim Reaper” stated in the lead section of the page in the second sentence, similar to LeBron James or Stephen Curry. I added it temporarily with a source but it was removed, so I’m bringing the issue here. Similar to Kobe or Jason Williams, KD’s nickname is iconic and beloved by fans. A version of the KD18’s are even called the Slim Reapers. I don’t think we can really talk about KD without mentioning the nickname. Thoughts? Wcamp9 (talk) 03:45, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
