When Paul Pierce retires, he will be remembered as a Boston Celtic, the 34 will be retired most likely, he’s a future Hall Of Famer. Obviously in recent years he’s been sort of a hired gun, trying to hold up Brooklyn, attempting to take Washington to the promise land, and now he’s with the coach that helped give him Hall Of Fame status. Doc Rivers. With Rivers being in Los Angeles and Pierce being California born, it was an easy choice for The Truth.
But according to Doc Rivers, Pierce was thinking about ending his career in Boston, but picked the Clips instead.
“I think he wanted to go one of two places,” said Rivers. Standing inside the TD Garden, the Clippers head coach continued, “He wanted to come back here or he wanted to finish his career at home where he grew up, and I think it’s really cool for me that I can be a part of that.”
I think it’s very poetic, ending your career where you first learned to play. Well, near to where you learned. He was born in Oakland. Let’s not split hairs.
Despite my eternal distrust for the Clippers getting it done, this is Pierce’s best chance of winning another ring since he left Boston. Go get it Truth.
