A tribute to Paul Pierce, 'a true Celtic' | NBA Countdown | ESPN

[@ironmaidenproduction]

How are y’all gonna hate on this man he brought my team to the finals in 08’ and back in 2010 so what we didn’t win in 2010 but we still got it done in 2008. All y’all haters saying Lebron dismantled the big three so what they were all old and out they’re prime!

[@NikoLeon]

Officially legendary status. Paul Pierce, thank you for everything. You are the reason I am a fan of basketball and more importantly the reason I love the Celtics. You are my favourite player of all time and nothing will change that. You are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Nothing but respect and love man. Thank you for EVERYTHING! Forever the Captain and forever the Truth.

[@SILMANTV]

Paul pierce is LEGEND he doesn’t need Kobe to validate that

[@victor_ylap]

[@le3-5ronjames34]

Pierce made me run to Miami And play on Wade team

[@Fr0stxfit]

Le3-5ron James ok.

[@heablubablu3906]

And ruined his night

[@NK-iw6rq]

Just like the Celtics had to create a big 3 to win the title in 08.

[@ChinazaX7471]

Hold this L for portraying a profile of a person you don't like and being fanboy at the same time.

[@sandernista6499]

You made the big 3 in Boston break up and now they dont even talk to Ray Allen 😂😂

[@rufaromanjalanz8219]

Boston have had so many good players, at this rate we gonna see the first player with a three digit number in a celtics shirt.

[@jugheadk]

Will forever be a champion 💯💯🏆🏆🏆🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@lachietaylor3310]

Would have never won without Allen or KG looooool!

[@ikbaldurdu3060]

Joy of tears, foreverrrr celticssssss

[@tylito4764]

Those celtics lakers series were fun as hell.

[@rgwak]

0:23 - I like how they start with a clip of Paul scoring on Jalen.

[@sirac37]

Legend

[@charlespitter1848]

Well deserved

[@JamesJones-nj8np]

paul is a celtic legend

[@elai3147]

love how ray wasn't invited, respect

[@xavierhenke7230]

elai314 All that beef is over with. Pierce and Ray have been cool for awhile. Ray just wasn't there

[@gamestitties7077]

elai314 or maybe ray was ashamed of himself for being the original snake and stood his ground and not decided to come

[@TXhydroponix]

lol are you fucking stupid? Boston staff treated him like shit! Plus they started playing Avery Bradley over him. Ray did what was best for himself.. Boston didn't even give him a decent offer. They basically told him he was worthless, so he took his worth somewhere else and got a ring. That's the only reason why they're salty because he has another ring without him and at that with the "enemy". But blame Boston for treating him like shit.

[@RokeorDie]

lol, love how celts got waxed on wheelchair's night, respect

[@Barak144]

TXhydroponix facts bro

[@mightym0uzzz348]

The truth baby

[@MrEtherShot]

congrats TRUTH!

[@jrsx5826]

The days when real ballers play with passion, heart, loyal to the fans. Now is all about money and hoping to teams to teams.

[@brodrick51]

Still Shocking They Even Had A Debate To Make IT & Him Share A Day , Disrespect At It’s Finest .

[@barrymccollum2056]

His jersey retirement was on ESPN app 💀💀💀

[@anbuuchihax]

[@karsenhippolyte8721]

Arthur Flauzindo depending on the class cause he'd be second for me

[@butta6167]

Thank You #theTruth🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@Kingzuala]

why is Kelly Olynyk painting Paul's picture XD

[@shablamalama1]

My dads generation had Larry Legend, the current generation has Tatum and Brown, but my generation had The Truth. God i love my Celtics

[@midwestent.7010]

Paul pierce really about to be hating on lebron after the cavs blow out win on his jersey retirement night

[@beeruwu]

[@dariadesandis5639]

**For real tho 😂

[@adidasboy3207]

Blown out is alright but by lebron? Lol that will haunt him for a bit

[@curryisthuhgoat4542]

MidWest Ent. I know right fuck the cavs

[@SubtleHawk]

Pierce ran LeBron out of Cleveland in 2010 lol.

[@CdotRey15]

Welcome to the association, Boston Celtics

[@FireAngelChris]

Not super fast,not super athletic,not super strong,was crafty though,smooth,agile enough to get where ever he want simply put his game was the truth

[@javorislittle312]

My all time favorite player I'm so glad he didnt have to share this day with Isaiah.

[@alexpierce9709]

How dafaq are some of Y'ALL disrespecting Paul Pierce?

[@marquisdaniels9657]

[@Freshb0y1231]

#TRUTH OUT

[@AlexanderTheGiftmusic]

Salute to the truth! #34

[@P21-j3s]

When Paul hated the Celtics growing up and now...

[@connorfinnerty1366]

This is not the first time I've heard ESPN use LoL eSports music in their videos LOL

[@deebxtch2368]

lol LeBron dismantled this big 3 team and blew out the new Celtics team on his jersey retirement night #TheKing

[@thamir21]

+FuqDaDeadOppsGdk Yeah but would it kill you to show respect on a man's retirement night?

[@basketballenlightenment2863]

Klay Thompson he not kobe

[@ayyyyal8237]

FuqDaDeadOppsGdk LeBron had to make a big 3 to dismantle his big 3 because LeBron couldn’t do it all by himself

[@zawarudozahandozadusto9626]

Fatal duh 1 doesn't equal 3 ofcourse he had, jordan wouldn't won either by himself.

[@NK-iw6rq]

Hail the King.

[@kushweed4838]

Isaiah was a true Celtic Danny Ainge, but you weren’t grateful for him, were you?

[@highlifebreezy5827]

What if dude painted him leavin the locker room in a wheelchair

[@JR-lg9yb]

Jaylen Brown has a similar game to paul. Hopefully he can develop into a player of Pierces caliber.

[@Karma-hy6ki]

They needed a fucking superteam to get ONE ring. Just ONE FUCKING RING.

[@AnthonyDobrin]

Is that painting for sale or auction?

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

Now everyone's giving Lebron all of the credit. Once the Cavs lose a game, its going to be "everyone elses fault."

[@wkatc007]

Damn Tippy Toes said screw the gym lol

[@alphatrusbensiii8381]

Pierce is like Melo fr fr Melo just moved around while Pierce stayed in one place

[@10ORFIVE]

u kidding right? pierce is a defender fam bad comparison

[@alphatrusbensiii8381]

Dex booking pierce defended in clutch situations just like Melo would if he was in them

[@edwinnieves6134]

Pierce was more of a team player than melo

[@alphatrusbensiii8381]

Edwin Nieves yea you right

[@WitnessDeeEZ]

Pierce way better than Melo try again.

[@ATLPrince85]

Forget all-time far as NBA history where does Paul Pierce rank as far as all-time Celtics.

[@hashihersi7897]

Ray Allen is going to be Hall of Fame

[@efrainsZ71]

Brian Scali is a true Celtic

[@zacharynelton7679]

Paul pierce is way smarter then LeBron and way better .....The Truth !

[@herehere3184]

Celtics waited 2 long 2 get the truth legit help for 2 many years .. They shoulda came outa the east a lot more than they did back then

[@ivanaranda6081]

Pierce was a killer why y'all think shaq who at that time was the mvp gave him the nick name the truth

[@sephsorrosa]

Paul pierce is Kobe's twin. Its like yin and yang

[@JGilbert11]

Seph Sorrosa no

[@hashihersi7897]

Ray Allen had a protest season in 2008 you shouldn't wonder Mvp

[@lilbibby8147]

[@Projectpat0589]

What the fuck 4:30. Dude musta really wanted to be apart of the hug

[@dwayeduke9599]

If Paul didn't win that one ring he's a Melo 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@xgeltigre5377]

Dwaye Duke nigga melo was way better . Sucks that he doesnt have a time

[@daddydeadpool9871]
