The Golden State Warriors pitched Kevin Durant for about two hours mainly focused on winning titles together.

“We told him he didn’t have to change who he is. He doesn’t have to change how he plays. We will get him shots. If he shot 40 percent from 3-point line contested, how would he shoot wide open?” Draymond Green said. 

Stephen Curry followed up with a text a few hours after the meeting to reassure him about his commitment to the Warriors' "Strength In Numbers" mentality.

Jerry West also called Durant on Saturday.

When asked what was the key to landing Durant, one high-ranking Warriors executive said: “Jerry West … Everyone telling [Durant] he’d be on equal footing. No stars.”

Durant was also drawn to the Warriors' "fun and flamboyant" culture as "they're loose, they're confident."
