Kevin Durant's all-time favorite player is Larry Bird. If he could have dinner with any five players, one would be Bill Russell. Durant even said, "the tradition of being a Boston Celtic is second to none." KD gets it. The Celtics don't need to sell him on the stories of the banners and numbers hanging in the rafters.
When they give their pitch this weekend, the Celtics need to sell Durant on is his own potential Celtics legacy as the sage and centerpiece of a decade of dominance, similar to Tim Duncan's career with the Spurs.
