Paul you deserved it congragulations man next comes the hall of fame
It’s basically officially first ballot too
He’s in now but the actual induction will come later
He is the definition of a under dog coming out on top, the comments saying he over rated but the first half of his career he played on bad celtic teams with no help and still ended up with a ring
IT is an underdog not this guy
EXPOSING BRONSEXUALS SINCE 3-5 it cant play defense
Troll God he is bc he wasnt projected to win a title let alone bring one back to the Celtics, history will tell u that if your not a millennial
People forget that Pierce outplayed LeBron in 2008 and 2010 when they played in the playoffs
lyndon chastain most def he the reason LeBron even got two rings if it wasnt for celtics superteam lebron prolly wouldnt had joined heat
Beyond skills, what makes Paul so great was the heart that he put into this team and this city. Paul gave everything he had for the Celtics, including his heart to the city and the fans. That is rare. It will be returned by the Celtics faithful forever.
Legend 💯💯💪🏽🏀
ChiKiD G Icon.
Didn't know so many ppl hated on Pierce. That's crazy.
Thanks for all the blood sweat and tears you’ve contributed to the TD Garden! P Double you are definitely THE TRUTH sir! Seeing your Jersey retired is bittersweet! Best regards to you and your family as you begin the next chapter! Love you forever!! #champ #celticbranded #alwaysaceltic
Look, I'm a Knicks fan so no reason for me to like this guy, but goddamn can yal shut up with all these 'you ain't Kobe hurr durr' comments? Dude just got his jersey retired in a storied franchise that is the Celtics. This not about love or hate, it's about respect. One of the most clutch players ever. Congrats and best of luck moving forward.
JC No reason for you to like him? Get a life bro. That organization and players don't give a damn of your existence, you're just gonna go by life hating on athletes because of the team they play for lol. Coward. I'm glad you're having a much harder time enjoying the game with all that pointless hatred. I'll just enjoy any great player even if they kill my team every year. Some day we won't watch them and you wouldn't be ass tickled over some petty shit
All I had to read was the damn first sentence to know you little bitch. Lol I'm not even surprised it's coming from a Knicks fan, go burry your head in your Knicks pillow and dm KP your thoughts. I'm sure he'd love to let you in on everything since you such a faithful fan
Great player, shooter and scorer. Honor him, he is one of the greatest Celtics ever.
Congratulations bro you was a beast player on the court 💯
The TRUTH shall set us free ✌️🙂 thank you Paul.
paul pierce will forever GO DOWN as a celtic legend
...for being traded to the nets for that glorious bunch of picks
Dann man it's crazy people say he's overrated. Dude was playing for bad teams for the first half of his career. Yea he got help but who hasent. LeBron got wade bosh. Same situation only difference is pierce got his help late in his career.
Roby Fernandez fr bro people love to hate on greatness
Roby Fernandez Lebron got helped during his 8th season in the NBA bro
This is his 15th season...
Don’t pull that card
I'm not going to lie LeBron is the better overall player. But man watching pierce drop 40 on his head and drive him to miami was priceless.
Lenny Mitchell just to remind you kid pierce went to the ecf as the only all star. Same thing bron did with no all stars come on man.
Vize I'm glad real celtics fan respect love yall
Hes not over rated at all the comment section be trolling
mans are comparing him to kobe gtfoh he won one championship hes a good player and allstar but hes no kobe
Dancehall fuhlife where in my statement did u see me mention kobe this is about paul not kobe .. Duh hes not kobe kobe is my fav player ever but nobody said shit bout him lmao
Thx for what you have done with Celtic #34!😎🍀✌️🤟
Every LeBron and Kobe Fan mad at Paul Pierce for playing with other Great Players 🤔. Kobe played with Shaq that was unfair to the whole league. LeBron went and teamed up with the Dwade and CB . MJ played with Pippen and Rodman. Larry Bird played with MCHALE & Parish. So I don't know why the LeBron James and Kobe Bryant coalition are saying Pierce's championship didn't mean nothing because he played with other great players.
only bronsexuals are mad for some reason. I'm a Kobe fan and I have huge respect for the Truth! I don't even mind the "wheelchair" moment. That shit was fun lol
Who the fucks says that? Someone With no basketball knowledge.
Salute To The Truth #34 👏
to the false lol
@@kupalkapre4636 Good one lol
The Truth💪
the false lol
Icon. Legend. Watch his highlights from 99-07 he was the smoothest scorer of all time.
Yo Yall Forgetting Paul Is The Greatest CLOSER Of All Times Right? Most Of The Shade In This Comment Section Are Coming From Die Hard Fans From Teams Paul Has Single Handedly Beaten With Great Footwork, Shooting & Ability To Read Opposing Defences & Make His Move At The Right Time. He Iz The DON Of The Step Back Jumper.
Somewhere in Boston, a pizzeria is missing a tablecloth 😜
Julie Anne Fan this comment deserves more likes.
Genius !!
Congrats paul godbless
For all the haters y'all fav player must be curry😂 Paul was an old fashioned player with great footwork who was loyal to his franchise then got blessed with kg and ray and won it their first Tim together. Paul is top 5 all time threes and one of the best closers all time if not the best but y'all say he average tf he beat Kobe bryant
Jalen Jones ALL 100000 PERCENT FACTS. GO LOOK UP PAUL PIERCE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 99-2007 HE WAS DISGUSTING. CROSSOVERS. DUNKS. BEAUTIFUL JUMPSHOT. ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME. THE GREATEST NBA CLOSER EVER THE FUCKIN TRUTH!
Its crazy I’m 26 years old & Paul Pierce was one of the greatest superstars our league had at the time & for that matter that we’ll ever have I mean he is the only player to get his number retired since those epic Bird teams...So to now see the trolling & disrespect all these years later shows me how sad and upsetting the world is today. Social media has effected all of our sports, music, & just culture/society. Its sickening, dawg this is Paul Pierce. He’s the only reason I even watched the C’s, I hated still hate Boston sports but PDub is the man & killed your favorite player on any given night. I’ll get killed for this comment but its ok, I just had to get this out there. Congrats Paul Pierce!! THE TRUTH!
All facts bro, Celtics always been my team and he was my favorite player growing up. My father even used to buy me his sneakers back in 06 and 07. Paul was the truth and trolling/media did dim his light. It's sad when u realize we're become older and the players we grew up on become forgotten.
Good memories..
Great video. #Salute #CelticPride
i was at this game it was really fun to watch and had a great time
Truth
I miss pp in the court..congratulations idol PP#34
Paul pierce! Paul pierce! Paul pierce!
Danny Ainge is a really good GM.
Ray allen went golfing instead of attending this 😂😂😂
They were gonna jump his ass in the parking lot
KG said he not coming if ray comes and plus rondo said it too
@@lintlickers andriana chechik
Really. 🤣🤣🤣
Karma Rx better
@@ItsNod And now Rondo teamed up with Lebron.
Very underrated superstar. One of the very few people to make kobe and lebron quit. #THETRUTH
people who say hes overrated didnt watch the games. they just watched highlights
Paul was my fav player after Kobe from 07-11 still one of my favorite players ppl say he overrated but how because Draymond Green say so but he not on Paul level at all period
As much as the Lakers Celtics rivalry back in 08-10 made me dislike Paul Pierce, the man had game and I enjoyed watchin him and he gave us a hell of a fight those finals. Congratulations Paul
Yesir
Robert Parrish needs to stay off the weed saying Paul Pierce was a better offensive player than Larry Bird
Because Bird didn't hook him up with a coaching job and he envied Bird. Parish also didn't manage his money well after his basketball career.
Pierce was nowhere close offensively compared to Bird
The retirement jersey speech was special compare to Kobe . One reason is because he included his Mom. Guessing Kobe forgot how he started to love the game. ( Maybe do to his father )
People for get that the Celtics were contenders in the early 2000s like 2001 2002 i remember them playing the nets in the eastern conference finals Paul pierce was a all star and to me being a lebron fan was he’s biggest rival in pierces prime for sure don’t let them sleep on you 34 ☘️
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.
Lies

#Respect #TheTruth #TownBiz
The Truth!!!
Paul is the GOAT in my eyes!
Bruh😭
Real winner of the IT trade right here...
AdolphSaxOfficial lmao! Facts!
Some of you sound mad ignorant and have no clue of the era Pierce played in. Y'all act like saying he's not Kobe is some kind of insult. Nobody was Kobe in that era. Nobody. Pierce was close though and that's enough to be recognized as a Celtics legend. Same way Nowitzki was Dallas and D Wade was to Miami. The last of a dying breed.
Am I tripping why w asnt this televised?? I watched the whole game and never saw this on ABC channel 7 after the game they just went right in to the news
My favorite player of AALLLLL TIMMMMMEEEE NUMBER 34 PAAUUUUULLL PIIEEERCCCCCCEEEE
You guys missed the segment during the game where the reporter asked Doc a question and he replied somewhere along the lines of how Paul wished to always to stay with the team he started with and how that's a something special every player dreams of. BRO.... You promised Blake the same thing and they traded him LMAOOOO. You can't trust anyone when it comes to business man.
Ryu he's not the GM anymore, moron.
Moron, he was with the new GM when he made that promise to Blake.
But paul pierce is my MJ he worked hard like MJ and deserves that credit in the hall of fam like lerry bird bill Russel
GOAT ... GREATNESS AT ITS PUREST FORM PAUL PEIRCE
#34👏👏👏
So we gunna act like doc and rondo ain’t got a job to do ??
Oscar Romero 🤣😂
word I was thinkin the same thing
meanwhile ray allen is golfing 😂
Boston Leltics
Cedi osman is the goat
Shaq next to Kg? Jk its Antoine Walker😊
Bro wanted his night to be as specials as kobe 😂😂.
FelipeActAFooly he ain't no where close to Kobe or LeBron status lmao
Kevin Garnett gotta be next
2 KOZZY rondo is next
Indeed
IT is that you? 19:02 😂😂
They should’ve won in 2010. Rigged by the lakeshow
Giggity 96 I mean I wanted the Celtics to win but IDK if it was rigged. I probably gotta watch it over again.
Nope world peace rekt them
People forget how cold he was Fr his competition knew tho
Why was this 30 mins long???!!!!
2-way player
Legend( 34) the truth
Ray Allen should have been there
Who was the ESPN reporter that said it was "Their 17th and FINAL championship"?
Why is there multiple numbers on his banner?
Hate this guy but when he was asked did u call bank? Nah I called game! That was some G shit
Damn! Where is Ray Allen? He hasn't buried the hatchet with his former celtics? This is some stubborn and petty shit!
Somehow Flight took an L.
20:32 Alliser Thorne next to that chick 😂😂😂
ESPS cmon put those ads away 😹
No Ray? Dayumn thats salty lol. But gratz bro well deserved! You know Rondo getting his retired when hes finished!!
@11:34 Paulstar tshissp eech
Cameraman's hand was so shaky!
Where Ray at tho? 🤔
Not for nothing but the guy speaking at the end had better watch his mouth he says" 17th and final banner " this I say to you the Boston Celtics never have a final banner .... Most recent would have been a better way to put that much better 18 is coming mark my words...
where is ray allen?
I was a young buck back watching tht 96 draft*...to see Antoine walker old & fat*lol*Walter McCarty*damn we getting old*
Where is Ray Allen?
Golfing
He's bad friend.
KG and rondo were not gonna attend if ray was invited. They are the clowns. Even though is my fav. Power frwd
How dare you try and share this night with the truth I.T , have fun playing for our rivals bro
Funny how lebron fans talking shit when bron wasnt able to ever to own Pierce till he left to Miami so took him over 6-10yrs to dethrone Celtics from ever being in the playoff & I respect #34 he keeps it 💯 dnt sugarr coat like other players n ppl on how he feels bout mfs
He took 8-10 million less in 2010 to win a championship down the road? Lmfao my guy we won in 2008
Pierces greatest moment?? Getting traded to the nets for 3 first rounders 😂
Next Jersey number to retired in Garden is Zero (0)
MY EAR ITS DEAD😔😔😔
YOU ANT NO KOBE THO, THEY DONT LOVE YOU LIKE THAT LMAOOOO
LMAOOO you clearly dont know shit If kobe needed shaq then WHY THE FUCK DID HE WIN NOT ONE BUT TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS WITHOUT HIM PUSSHOLE EXPLAIN THAT?. Pierce needed allen gtfo! even when pierce went to Brooklyn with garnett and terry they were shit. THIS BITCH IS NOWHERE NEAR KOBE IN TERMS OF ANY STAT OR CHAMPIONSHIPS. EVEN KYRIE WILL BE A BETTER CELTIC THAN THIS NIGGA
hes not even close to the best Celtics that ever played even on 2k Celtics all time players team do you see this nigga - no why do you think that is STFU GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT
Draymond not even Pierce
Cause of Pau you stupid ass bitch?
Why hasn't Doc been fired yet
You trolls dont know basketball. Think of it like this.. Lebron took same amount of seasons to win 1 championship with Cavs. Do you know how bad the teams where prior to pierce having help. Did you know this man was a nightmare to guard by the top small forwards in the league for 15 straight years (including a young lebron). He was so clutch he never jacked up shots that where not needed only shot those key baskets when his teammates could not make them. Crunch time. He deserves more admiration from you haters who obviously have an attention span of a 5 year old.
ESPN going broke using all em ads
7:34 left
"Basketball nearly died in Boston. And a Lakers fan from Inglewood saved its life..."
Check out the rest of this emotional tribute letter to The Truth
www.tommypoint.com/2018/02/heres-truth.html
Why is he a free agent on 2k
For y’all that say that KG next, y’all tripping! Only franchise should retire his # is Minnesota!
Bellmane .45 I don’t understand how 5-6 years he played in Boston. In my opinion that’s not enough to get your number retired. Sorry.
Bron owns this guy
ZayLOGICAL LeBron switched to a super team just to beat him.
General Magoo because they were a superteam themselves
ZayLOGICAL no they weren’t, they were all past their primes and none of them were on good teams and none of them were mvp top 5 players anymore. Lbj and wade were like top 3 when they teamed up LMFAO
Sandeep Sikerwar so wade was better than KD. D.rose. kobe. During that time?
ZayLOGICAL Paul Made Lebron change his career lmfao
Just for being a Role player in the Championship
Mc Lovin
He was finals MVP, ya bum... how many role players have won finals mvp or had several seasons averaging 20+ points a game. Hes not a top 50 player of all time, but he aint a role player.
Sandernista he's top 50 kiddo, he's the best Celtic ever. It's not even debatable,
LeChoke James
No he isnt mate, hes barely a top 10 celtics. I could name 50 players better than Pierce. Hes probably top 60 or 70. He'd be another scorer if Ray Allen and KG didnt land on his lap. He needs to thank Danny Ainge for getting him into the hall, he was an overrated scrub
LeChoke James
Damn if he is the best Celtic Ever. I can just imagine the rest of the Players, even worst than him
Sandernista actually according to NBA ranker, he is 50th All Time for now
'You thought you was Kobe?'
He don't need to be Kobe hes Paul pierce
You ain't no Klobe Paul Pierce.
There need to be a store to teach nba players how to dress with the money they make they should be sharp, G Q magazine needs to help the men dress , LeBron ,Carmelo, can dress, Westbrook in GQ, are there clothes that high?
I hate the fact they ignore ray allen in every gathering.. they were about to trade him before he went to heat, now they act like allen betrayed the franchise..
The fans are amazing? They booed their own team that's top of the eastern conference standings. Smh
Hey is Ray Allen invited?
