03:51 PM ET 10.15 | Kevin Durant was recently asked which NBA legend would he have wanted to play with the most. Here is what he said: "Larry Bird because I just respect him so much, how humble he is, how he was just all about playing the game of basketball above nothing else. Just how hard he played and how skilled he was." Before we analyze Durant's pick in Bird, just think for a moment how insane a Durant-Bird would be. It's an interesting pick though for Durant. He was kind of on the spot it appears with the question but he didn't hesitate in saying Bird's name. What isn't surprising is that one of the things Durant admires about Bird is what he embodies himself. He says he loves how humble Bird was and we all know just how humble Durant is.

In 4-5 years, I'd love to see him join the Lakers when his contract is up. Durant and Howard would be awesome.

In 4-5 years Howard will be 90......

That would be a great one on one battle, very similar style of play. Durant just gets up a little more and is slightly taller.

Excellent choice! Still, I don't think Durant got the message that Larry Bird was a major trash talker. X^D *laughs* Ask Xavier McDaniel. X^D *HAHAHAHA!*
