[@allanreager3306]

He doesn't miss those that's his signature pull up

[@CandyCaneArms]

Respect to Isaiah Thomas for letting him shoot it, but putting a hand up to make it respectable.

[@UnplayedGaming]

He was just playing his normal defense

[@amjan]

Isiah couldn't block it, come on.

[@cjnour]

boy, Isaiah gave him the shot out of pure respect, the fans wanted Pierce to hit a shot for the last time in the Garden. always respect the legends. pure sportsmanship from IT

[@y2shuproblem]

Kryogen I love competition, but to give a beloved figure in his hometown a final shot like that out of respect is fine.

[@josephpeat]

Was just coming to post this comment

[@kntfhvn]

When you listen really closely the moment he made the shot, the announcer said "Paul piece for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" making it sound like he's from the home team. Kinda subtle but it gave me goosebumps. What a career.

[@pattythrills2766]

Even if he tried defending it wont bother pierces shot

[@alexandercharles6236]

Yeah I know because the way Isiah just leaps and rejects jump shots on a regular basis in the NBA makes me think he let Paul shoot, I mean Isiah averaged how many blocks in he NBA?. You guys are clowns.

[@3rdeye931]

Well to be fair even if he did try it wouldn’t be much of a difference

[@Rodrigolf28]

not a Celtics fan, but I love Paul Pierce, what a player

[@razkable]

Pierce was a good dude for sticking with Boston 15 long seasons and even during a 24-58 nightmare...

[@zeaferjones1404]

@@razkable People forget about the Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce Celtics. One year they both averaged 25 points per game. They also had this point guard name Anderson who was underrated. I remember they beat my Pacers in the first round of 2003 and Pierce played like Jordan.
