... for sticking it out here for 10 years, playing for some pretty bad teams... showing some frustration at times but generally remaining a professional team player...
... never getting the respect he deserved as a player, getting passed over for the all star team because he played for such a bad team....
Coming into the playoffs in the shadow of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant (even Kevin Garnett) - and completely outplaying them all on both sides of the court...
This is a sweet and well deserved Championship for him - and one he can proudly say that he really sucked it up and played the consumate role that a team captain should.
They might as well retire his number tonight as well, as far as I'm concerned.
Congratulations to all the Celtics - but especially Paul Pierce!
Thanks for bringing #17 back to Boston (and preserving Red's record too!)
