    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!

    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.

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

    • @TXhydroponix
      @TXhydroponix Před 6 lety +54

      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.
