    NBA fans are making good use of the opportunity presented by the Houston Rockets socials when they asked for a nickname for the Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun duo. Both KD and Sengun have been on fire this season so far, placing the Rockets third in the West as of now.

    Fans did not hold back when they compared the incredible dual threat to different favorite combos. Of course, a number of food combos had to come into the picture, making the post super-engaging already.

    “what are y’all calling this duo? asking the important questions here (smiling face emoji, up down arrow emoji)” Houston Rockets official asked.

    “Turkey & Cheese (rolling on the floor laughing emoji)” one fan commented.

    “The ‘Almost as good as the Spurs if they had better talent on their team, but they don’t and are not ever beating them in any healthy matchup’ duo.” another fan joked.

    “Easy Money Goon !!! Yin & Yang Gang !!! The KEV & ALPE Show !!! The Skilled Towers !!!! Flight 728 !!! …still brainstorming.” One more fan listed.

    NBA Fans Continue To List Out Hilarious Nicknames For KD & Sengun Duo

    NBA fans are clearly having a field day in coming up with nicknames for Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun as a duo. Many fans did refer to the respective ethnicities of the players but also churned out names in regards to the skillsets they bring to the court.

    “Turkish Coffee the only real answer here. Got high energy coffee that got us feeling like we can run through a wall” one fan cleverly pointed out.

    “The Silk and Skilled Duo. KD is the silky scorer and Alperen Sengun is the ultra skilled big. Both can literally play all 5 spots in different lineups.” Another fan said.

    “Eurostep & Easy Money, The Silk Road, Space Jam, Money & Motion, Slim & Screw, Slow Loud & BANGIN, Easy Alps” still another fan went on.

    Rockets fans clearly love this superb KD and Sengun combo, especially since the players have been killing it on court for the team this season. In the most recent matchup against the Magic, KD and Sengun managed to be lead scorers with 35 and 30 points respectively. This dual-threat has put Houston third in the West, just two spots below the reigning OKC.
