I guess #35 will be exclusively available for Durant if he ever want to use it as a celtic.

If Jaylen Brown is the reincarnation of Bias as some posters said, then Durant is the reincarnation of late Reggie Lewis. Lewis and Durant are both lanky forwards with deadly scoring abilities. Both are also the silent types and nice person off the court.

I wonder what Donna's say on this.

Some interesting off-topic numbers:

Durant might sign at the age of 27
Reggie died at the age of 27

Those numbers doesn't really imply anything but its worth mentioning.

Number 35 is also important in Durant's life as it is a tribute to his late coach. I can see why Reggie's family would give Durant Reggie's numbers
