Re: Celtics
[ QUOTE ]
Pierce got stabbed in Boston and stuck with the team. He's a C for life as far as I'm concerned.

You mean you think he'll stay a Celtic or you'd support him even if he moves on to greener passages (no pun intended)?
I think Pierce is really conflicted. It's clear he cares about his legacy. That's a major part of him still being with the Celtics. That's why he signed the extension. He's a great player, and he wants to be the guy who returns the Celtics to greatness. He wants 34 up in the rafters. He wants people, 20 years from now, to look back at the Celtics and talk about how Pierce saved them from the post-Bird era.
On the other hand, you've got what's in that article. He's a hell of a ball player, but he's not nationally recognized like some of his peers. He's losing endorsement money, and he's sick and tired of losing year in and year out.
