An airport pickup from Brad Stevens, trip to Fenway Park and meeting with Isaiah Thomas all featured prominently in Gordon Hayward's free-agent visit to Boston, where the Celtics delivered a basketball-centric pitch about why they're the best fit for him.
Boston Celtics brass, including Danny Ainge, and Isaiah Thomas accompanied Gordon Hayward and his wife, Robyn, to Fenway Park on Sunday morning. A three-minute video aired on the Jumbotron that included players like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant talking about playing in Boston then culminated with a personalized message from David Ortiz.

The first person to welcome Gordon Hayward to Boston for his free-agent visit? It appears Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who coached Hayward for two years at Butler, picked him up at Boston's Logan airport. A Twitter user traveling from Miami to Boston posted this picture late Saturday night.
