Clippers' Paul Pierce Braces Himself For What Figures To Be An Emotional Final Game In Boston

... His 24,021 points are behind leader John Havlicek (26,395) and ahead of Bird (21,791). “I think that was probably the highlight of his life, when he was able to beat the Lakers in the NBA Finals and it was a championship with the Celtics,” Danny Ainge, Boston’s president of basketball operations, said in a telephone interview. “Listen, I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and I grew up a Lakers fan too and was drafted by the Celtics.

"I'll be an adviser helping kids understand the game of basketball," said Pierce, who spent most of his 19-year NBA career with the Boston Celtics. "I'll make regular trips to China, do clinics, talk about the game and get people excited about the game of basketball and how the game can change you as a person. I want them [to] understand that the game is fun. You learn teamwork, confidence and how to get through adversity.". Wu is a longtime basketball fan who loves the game now as much as ever. He played in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game last Friday and fondly remembers participating in Jr. NBA as a 15-year-old in Guangzhou, where his team won a regional championship and earned a trip to the national tournament ...

Westbrook, Cousins Only Players With 'competitive Fire' Gene

... & Mike  on Wednesday morning, the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer said that the league is far from what it used to be. "I don't think the league is as competitive as it was, let's say like, 10 years ago, where you've got the superstars going at one another, talking smack, creating rivalries," Pierce said. "We don't have rivalries anymore. The closest thing to it is Golden State and Cleveland, which could end up being a great rivalry, but outside of that, you don't have any individual rivalries, a Kobe vs. Le Bron. Individual rivalries are just not there anymore.". MORE NBA. Durant: Media trying to make Westbrook drama 'bigger than what it is'.

The Celtics Robbed The Nets In An Infamous Blockbuster Trade 4 Years Ago, And It's Still Paying Off Today

... the 2017 draft. The Celtics are 37-20, second in the East, with assets to ship off. The right to swap picks may be their best chip. On Tuesday, ESPN's Zach Lowe said on "The Lowe Post" podcast that he thought the Celtics would be willing to give up that pick in a trade for a superstar. "When it's time to get serious, I think Boston will put the Nets' pick in, this year's Nets pick," Lowe said. "This year's is the most valuable. I think when push comes to shove and it's go time, Boston will put that pick in." Lowe added that the Celtics could put top-one or top-two protections on it, meaning if the pick were the first or second in the draft, it wouldn't transfer to another team.
