When the Boston Celtics brought NFL quarterback Tom Brady to their meeting with free agent Kevin Durant, some were confused. Yes, he is an icon of Boston sports, but he certainly isn't a basketball player.

So what exactly was he doing there? According to reports, Brady was simply there to explain “how special it is” to play in Benton.

As a four-time Super Bowl winner, Brady certainly knows how to win in Boston. Baseball's David Ortiz, who couldn't make the meeting but apparently was slated to, reiterated the same championship New England mentality to Durant on Twitter.

The Thunder star will announce his free agency decision in the coming hours.
