The fact that he played all 82 games the following season is a testament to his strength and will. Paul Pierce was a stone cold killer in the clutch and one of the craftiest scorers of all time.
Lakres fan but I respected him a lot. I expcted the ball to go in whenever he got the ball in clutch time. The Celytics are abosolute trash for trading him and not allowing him to retire 100% a Celtic. He was their Kobe! The Lakers could have rebuilt faster by getting rid of Kobe when he was past his prime but they didn't. The fans generally were ok with it too.
He is smart and a natural on the mic. I didn't expect that from him watching his 'tough guy' act while he was a player. He is great at what he does, Jackson is solid too.
I'm 6'0" always had bounce.....when I was 5'7" in 8th grade I started dunking. About 6 yrs ago when I was 24 I got shot in the leg. I was so depressed and gave up on my athletic ability thinking how unfair it was that I couldn't jump like I used to. Watching this video makes me realize everybody goes through some type of shit and many can become even greater cuz of it....I need to get my ass back on the court. Def needed to see this video no more fucking excuses....
TayMusiq i feel what u saying doggy. I caught a staph infection on my leg. Was immobile for a month and Couldnt smash my tricks the way i use to. But that didnt stop me though.!! Best believe i still raise that leg when im gettin it in doggy ya feel. So pull ur skirt up and get back to the gym b, get ur nuts up.!!!
@@freeplays9610lmao that’s a good point. Dude still struggles to read the room today. Now it’s not the club that’s the room, the media is the room for him now. Publicly stabbing himself with his comments in podcast and posts
Say what you want about Paul Pierce, but to overcome this and still become an NBA great is a hell of a life. The Most High brought him through this situation...
Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah and showed him a sign with the kid who got stabbed twice and died. But in this interview he said he was lucky. He missed it!
Glad to hear him talk about his experience in depth. Always wondered how he overcane that. I remember that story and that was unbelievable at the time. The Truth was a beast and almost unguardable for some years.
Right , I was shocked as shit when I read about a few years back , I never knew An Shaq gave him the name because he didn't know that Paul could play like that 🍀
Men last knight i had a dream that i was only scratched with a knife on mine chest, ughh what a horrible dream man i wake up really upset. Cant imagine what was tou going through
God’s grace has kept Paul alive. I remember when that story broke out. It was shocking. He was actually wearing a thick leather jacket that night which in part saved his life. I’m glad he didn’t leave this world like that. What a story! Wow!
@@jordanflores5687 I’m guessing that the leather jacket was thick enough that it kept some of the blade from entering his body, thus making the wounds not as deep or wide since the thickest part of the blade is near the back.
Got robbed in 2008 and guy hit me in the head with his gun after it jammed. I have carried a Glock 23 .40 on me everyday since. I dont park far out in parking lots. If you walking behind me I stop and BS for a second until people pass me. I'm always looking behind me when people stand behind me in line. Things change for sure.
my girlfriend and i got attacked in our car by some dude with a metal pipe. the guy smashed the window and scared the shit out of us before i was able to drive away, but luckily we weren’t hurt. regardless, i definitely resonate with that paranoia man it’s tough being made to feel so powerless at a vulnerable and unexpected moment. i haven’t bought a gun and don’t think i will, but how have you managed that anxiety and paranoia?
@@colematthews4120 being confident in your means to defend yourself can definitely relieve some of that. Check out your local mma gyms or buy a gun get your conceal carry and some training. A little bit of paranoia can be good though.
What I remember about that incident was the media destroyed him in the news and newspapers. They didn't feel bad for him just blamed him about the incident. They treated him like garbage
Really? That's really fuck up if they did that. Instead of encouraging him to get well, they badmouthing him. Crazy. P.s STAY SAFE AND STRONG EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THE WORLD.
As someone who had a similar situation happen to me, the strength it take to get through this is insane. I hate boston, but i love that he made it out alive
This is crazy to see. Met Paul in a bar in Orlando and dude was super cool dapped me up (pre-corona) and everything. He was chilling by himself kinda in the background to where nobody even noticed he was there. Paid my respects to him and kept it moving. Explains why athletes have to move the way they move.

I don’t understand why people hate Pierce or the 08 Celtics, I’m not a fan but I understand the 08 Celtics were special and Pierce is one of the best SF to ever play. On top of that he’s one of the few players who played an ENTIRE season of 82 games, I don’t think people know how rare that is, especially in this day and age. On top of that, he played those 82 games on a bad Celtics team, lol they had nothing to play for, yet he played EVERY game completely committed.
Night life at the club, watch out for this: 1-Dudes get little alcohol gets disrespectful 2- Chicks try to get back at their dudes set you up 3- Always be ready for whatever Thank God for you, Truth!!🙌
This is why I hardly go out anymore, there is always that one dude that starts trouble, and if you're a minority you can get blamed and kicked out by a racist manager/owner. I am just so happy that Pierce was able to recover from this, play a whole 82 games and become one of the best players to ever play the game.

Paul pierce was legend until he retired, got on TV and started hypin himself up and saying dumb shit on ESPN. Nobody did it to him, he did it to himself.
@Chris Middleton Just on an individual level, Wade was a more productive offensive player and a much better defensive player and for several years was always in the MVP discussion. Paul was good but he was always a tier below those players. In other words, at their peaks Wade was a consistent All-NBA second teamer, while Pierce was more a third teamer.
I went to a game in spring of 2001 few months after this. He was playing by then. They played the cavs. We had nose bleeds but nobody was really there so we snuck down and sat behind the hoop near cs bench.

Earlier that yr in Cancun on Memorial Day wknd, Paul was about to get jumped/whooped by some dudes from Alabama in the same type scenario. Getting at a chick and some dude tripping behind her. Smh
@John Peaches yep. Cancun AllStar Fiesta wknd. Inside Bulldog Cafe on a Fri nite 2 guys about 6'0 tall. The one that was mad about the chic ended up straight up dropping Beyonce bodyguard named Tiny (about 6'9...300+ lbs) with a 2 piece. Then they got suplexed by another security guy. LOL All this happened literally 4 ft from me as me n my boy was at the bar with Paul, Gary Payton, Vince Carter, Garrison Hearst and a couple of the guys that started FUBU.
I think alcohol probably had something to do with him not remember how things got escalated so quickly and with him not feeling the pain of being stabbed lol not just adrenaline did that imo
I met double P in a club in Charlotte in 2001. Not thinking about it I just went up to say what's up. He had such a intense look on his face. I dapped him up said I respect your game man. Hr dapped me up said cool. It was like maybe 3 week's later it hit me. I was like dude was just on high alert after that club incident.
As a Lakers fan I couldn’t stand the Celtics but always had love for Paul Pierce and Antwoine Walker. Those dudes were beasts in their day. One thing about Paul was that he’s not athletic and hella slow, but boy could that man score! Nothing but respect for this man 💯
Showtime Mike he made it happen for sure. Always liked him. Never was an antwon walker fan though. Crazy that they were successful with two not very athletic dudes on the squad. Carmelo Anthony, he’s the most unathletic player I’ve ever seen. Can shoot the lights out though. But whenever he dunked you know he was going home hyped.
I never been stabbed but i got cut in my foot after stepping on a bottle. Got 2 stitches i know how he feel the streets unpredictable man 1 minute u running on the grass playing football next minute u passed out on the ground seeing the heavens open up and ur momas voice as blood comin out ur foot. I dont know who left that broken glass there but man it dont matter because we forgive that man for all he put me and my family thru because i turned to god and thats u do when u survive shit like this. Very humbling Paul Pierce
@@03bubbachuck lmao in all seriousness some fool left a broken glass bottle at the bottom of the pool and I got cut too should have sued the apt complex that happened in
I was out one night with friends in Newport RI where the Celtics had training camp that week, Pierce came into a bar we were at with his hood on super low key. He slithered through the crowd past me and I said what up and kept it moving, but I remember thinking to myself about the stabbing and how scared he must be of crowds like that. Any moment that shit could happen again. I know the crowd Pierce surrounded himself with back then was different, but he probably has still never fully shook that scared feeling and paranoia of being in a place surrounded by tons of people you don't know. Totally understandable how it changed his life and I'm glad it seemed to change him for the better and surround himself with better people and situations.
PP is the truth. I remember when he got stabbed, the media tried to destroy him. I think this was the best interview yet. The stories about Garnett and GP are always so funny.
I am a Boston guy and the media did try to destroy him. Pierce was just a Celtic two years before this incident and was 20-21 years old but already a 16 ppg player however he was painted as a trouble maker in a night club
Caballo Negro exactly both is needed . Players feel more comfortable talking to other players which benefits us the fans cause we get deeper interviews
I was working in the Clinical Research field for a company in Waltham (20 miles from Boston) in very early 2000's. Up the street was the Health Point Gym a new 70,000 sq ft facility that I used to go after work to shoot hoops and lift weights during commute hours before driving home. The Celtics used this as a training facility and I always saw the well known retired Celtics ML Carr that lived nearby playing hoops with local members on regular basis. I was no kid but in late 30's I could still military press a set of 8 of 200 lbs at 190 lb body weight. This tall young dude starting talking with me and said his brother played for the Celtics Tony Battie and he said he was Derrick (he was 6'9) and he was working out with Celtics in off season. Maybe once a week we ran into each other for about a month and worked out a little together and talked. I always knew about Paul Pierce getting stabbed at a Boston night club in a very serious incident with a couple of fellow ball players. I never realized that Tony Battie who played 1998-2005 for Celtics at Center was with his younger brother Derrick at that night club.. Time I met Derrick was shortly after the the Pierce incident but I never put two and two together until recently 20 years later. Derrick and his brother were from Dallas and he played college ball for Temple and around this time in 2000-2001 was playing CBA ball for Connecticut Pride that one year. I understand the two brothers helped save Pierce getting him to the hospital quickly. Mad respect for Paul Pierce after all this trauma months later he plays all 82 games. Pierce was a super class man and Celtics great.
This is by far the best athletes podcast 2 real niggaz who happen to have played in the NBA interviewing other real niggaz who also played in the NBA and asking the questions we all want to know the answers to they get the best stories out there from players 🔥🔥💯
I live in Miami. The night life is a great. When you’re in the club, you need to be attentive. Before you approach a woman, make sure you observe her to check to see if she’s with her friend , by herself , etc.. I’ve seen to many fight because dudes are drunk, acting like a fool , etc ..
im here too and you aint lying. no matter if its the beach, the bar, a lounge, or the club. if you find yourself interested in someone, watch her for a bit first. its crazy that you have to go through a process but thats how it be. it could save you the drama. thats why i barely go out nowadays, and when i do, i rarely interact with anyone. keep to myself, do my thing and go home. safe and alive.
People don't understand: Bigger guya are probably in MORE danger than an average sized person in a club or in the streets. The average person would feel relatively confident fighting a 5'9 male in a 1v1 street fight. But a 6'7 guy like Pierce? A lot of guys would be afraid to lose and wouldnt hesitate to pull out a weapon. A kid who played ball for LSU named Wayde Sims lost his life like that. Got into a fight at a Southern University homecoming party in 2018 and some dude ended up shooting him. Lesson is you cant ever take anything or anyone for granted. Pierce may have thought because he waa bigger than everyone and a millionaire that he could do whatever he wanted and stepped on whomever's toes he wanted. Some guys don't mind being reckless to do what they think is "defending their honor."
Love this fckn show!! Stack should deff talk more!!! He's knowledgeable n wise w his perspective. Matt Barnes is like literally a perfect host. Dope af
Sorry this happened to Paul. You’re in someone’s town so the best thing is to have respect. Guys go crazy over women in the clubs. If a guy says she’s with me apologize and move on. The girl was probably star struck. Paul probably carried a gun because he pointed someone out. These guys never forget.
Stack spoke that truth tho.. let someone make it out as an accountant or lawyer and never come back, no one bats an eye... but if he/she gets famous and don't wanna come back, then they're lame
6:00 - 6:15 its the same with non celebrity ppl too, except we still gotta get on public transportation. You feel weird or anxious & ppl pick up on your vibe then they look at you the same way. But anyways, glad he came out okay!
Its crazy how as humans we hate and try to kill each other. Instead of staying positive and trying to lift each other up for the better of mankind. Its reality and probably wont ever change, glad Paul Pierce survived this. just look how close he was to death...and all for what? Smh
Some professional athletes need to realize that they are not NORMAL people. If you want to have a good time, stay low key or hang around people within your income bracket.
people should never forget how good these guys were the nba had some amazing players even what’s happening to melo it’s disrespectful because we should give credit to all nba legends
square earth appreciation channel one ring with players like Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, and Tracy Mcgrady all in their prime to contend against. Remember the year they won is the same year Team USA came to the Beijing Olympics with the Redeem Team. With how stacked the NBA was in star power, it's impressive that Paul Pierce and the Celtics won a chip at all
@@Rylopero All those players you just mentioned except Dwyane Wade were on the Western Conference teams so it's not like the Celtics were facing them in the playoffs except obviously only in the Finals.

Pierce a celts legend miss watching him in that green 34 jersey one my favorite players growing up
"Allegedly" They Were Associates Of Benzino.... At Least That Was The Inside Story At The Time...
I heard that too
Heard it was too coming up. They was Almighty RSO
@@d.felixphoto2260 Yup.. Who Would Eventually Become the group Made Men And Release The "5mic" Album Classic Limited Edition.....I fell out laughing as soon as I read That edition of The Source.. I knew what that was about
@@mr.rashadgrice79 yea they definitely wasn't 5mic's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lol. However, they did hold down New England. They used to be everywhere. Then they was Hangman 3
@@d.felixphoto2260 Yes... They Did Hold It Down. That's a fact..
Paul Pierce is The Truth and a Champion. Total legend!!! Tough and smart and never quit. We love you Paul Pierce.
Earlier that yr in Cancun on Memorial Day wknd, Paul was about to get jumped/whooped by some dudes from Alabama in the same type scenario. Getting at a chick and some dude tripping behind her. Smh
@John Peaches yep. Cancun AllStar Fiesta wknd. Inside Bulldog Cafe on a Fri nite 2 guys about 6'0 tall. The one that was mad about the chic ended up straight up dropping Beyonce bodyguard named Tiny (about 6'9...300+ lbs) with a 2 piece. Then they got suplexed by another security guy. LOL All this happened literally 4 ft from me as me n my boy was at the bar with Paul, Gary Payton, Vince Carter, Garrison Hearst and a couple of the guys that started FUBU.
Damn.. You saying he was behaving like he was untouchable?
@@Rollothemodel not at all. Man we all were taking shots. Ol girl walked up and started talking to him Dude came up and started straight tripping.
@@johnnytatum7023 gotchu.
Bruh got stabbed 8 times and hit the head with a broken bottle and didn't fall
VICTOR RIBEIRO I’m just going off of guy version of the story
I think alcohol probably had something to do with him not remember how things got escalated so quickly and with him not feeling the pain of being stabbed lol not just adrenaline did that imo
Lucky hes a big dude and was young and in elite athlete shape. Sure that saved him
I met double P in a club in Charlotte in 2001. Not thinking about it I just went up to say what's up. He had such a intense look on his face. I dapped him up said I respect your game man. Hr dapped me up said cool. It was like maybe 3 week's later it hit me. I was like dude was just on high alert after that club incident.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GUYS!! KEEP IT UP!! MATT AND CAPT JACK THE BEST DUO
Could’ve been a blessing in disguise... basketball saved him
Dope ass interview fr 💪 💯The Truth droppn gems. This convo got me working extra hours on my craft.
As a Lakers fan I couldn’t stand the Celtics but always had love for Paul Pierce and Antwoine Walker. Those dudes were beasts in their day. One thing about Paul was that he’s not athletic and hella slow, but boy could that man score! Nothing but respect for this man 💯
Showtime Mike he made it happen for sure. Always liked him. Never was an antwon walker fan though. Crazy that they were successful with two not very athletic dudes on the squad. Carmelo Anthony, he’s the most unathletic player I’ve ever seen. Can shoot the lights out though. But whenever he dunked you know he was going home hyped.
Yeah that was crazy. The truth was lucky
Facts! He easily could of gotten stabbed in his chest or neck. Life could have been gone over some bullshit.
Jay Starks luck of the Irish ;)
blessed
I never been stabbed but i got cut in my foot after stepping on a bottle. Got 2 stitches i know how he feel the streets unpredictable man 1 minute u running on the grass playing football next minute u passed out on the ground seeing the heavens open up and ur momas voice as blood comin out ur foot. I dont know who left that broken glass there but man it dont matter because we forgive that man for all he put me and my family thru because i turned to god and thats u do when u survive shit like this. Very humbling Paul Pierce
Yeah I got a paper cut before too. I also forgave the tree that the paper came from also
Bro I'm crying laughing
@@03bubbachuck lmao in all seriousness some fool left a broken glass bottle at the bottom of the pool and I got cut too should have sued the apt complex that happened in
And you made it through that? I wonder who's gonna play you in the movie.
This the softest shit I done read 😂😂
I was out one night with friends in Newport RI where the Celtics had training camp that week, Pierce came into a bar we were at with his hood on super low key. He slithered through the crowd past me and I said what up and kept it moving, but I remember thinking to myself about the stabbing and how scared he must be of crowds like that. Any moment that shit could happen again. I know the crowd Pierce surrounded himself with back then was different, but he probably has still never fully shook that scared feeling and paranoia of being in a place surrounded by tons of people you don't know. Totally understandable how it changed his life and I'm glad it seemed to change him for the better and surround himself with better people and situations.
Holly I didn't even know this happened to him. Lucky to be alive. Wow
P.s STAY SAFE AND STRONG EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THE WORLD.
The best show man.. anxiety issues is real
PP is the truth. I remember when he got stabbed, the media tried to destroy him. I think this was the best interview yet. The stories about Garnett and GP are always so funny.
I am a Boston guy and the media did try to destroy him. Pierce was just a Celtic two years before this incident and was 20-21 years old but already a 16 ppg player however he was painted as a trouble maker in a night club
Love this podcast. Such a relaxed conversion about some real shit
Benzino no neck ass brought me here
😂😂😂 damn frfr they stories lined up too
Love Paul Pierce. Sometimes it takes ya life to be almost gone to really appreciate life forreal
A topic the other podcast was scared to talk about 💯✊🏽
Why y’all always try to pin people against each other
Homie its enough money for both podcasts. Stop pinning them against each other.
Caballo Negro exactly both is needed . Players feel more comfortable talking to other players which benefits us the fans cause we get deeper interviews
I was never a Paul pierce fan but I respected the hell out of that man.
I love The Truth but he looking like the guy that's sleeping on my cousins couch right now.
rrmond cool story bro
You a fool bro
Low blows lol
All the smoke...self explanatory
💯💪🏾
Big respect for Pirce on his honesty
Love this show 💪🏼 !!!
I was working in the Clinical Research field for a company in Waltham (20 miles from Boston) in very early 2000's. Up the street was the Health Point Gym a new 70,000 sq ft facility that I used to go after work to shoot hoops and lift weights during commute hours before driving home. The Celtics used this as a training facility and I always saw the well known retired Celtics ML Carr that lived nearby playing hoops with local members on regular basis. I was no kid but in late 30's I could still military press a set of 8 of 200 lbs at 190 lb body weight. This tall young dude starting talking with me and said his brother played for the Celtics Tony Battie and he said he was Derrick (he was 6'9) and he was working out with Celtics in off season. Maybe once a week we ran into each other for about a month and worked out a little together and talked.
I always knew about Paul Pierce getting stabbed at a Boston night club in a very serious incident with a couple of fellow ball players. I never realized that Tony Battie who played 1998-2005 for Celtics at Center was with his younger brother Derrick at that night club.. Time I met Derrick was shortly after the the Pierce incident but I never put two and two together until recently 20 years later. Derrick and his brother were from Dallas and he played college ball for Temple and around this time in 2000-2001 was playing CBA ball for Connecticut Pride that one year. I understand the two brothers helped save Pierce getting him to the hospital quickly.
Mad respect for Paul Pierce after all this trauma months later he plays all 82 games. Pierce was a super class man and Celtics great.
Damn. I still remember The Dave Chappelle Skit. Sorry I Laughed 💯
Smh
Lmao hold up which one
@@YtCsBt Dave Chappelle athletes everyday
When keepin it real goes wrong
@@doruk4374 wrong skit
This is by far the best athletes podcast 2 real niggaz who happen to have played in the NBA interviewing other real niggaz who also played in the NBA and asking the questions we all want to know the answers to they get the best stories out there from players 🔥🔥💯
I live in Miami. The night life is a great. When you’re in the club, you need to be attentive. Before you approach a woman, make sure you observe her to check to see if she’s with her friend , by herself , etc.. I’ve seen to many fight because dudes are drunk, acting like a fool , etc ..
im here too and you aint lying. no matter if its the beach, the bar, a lounge, or the club. if you find yourself interested in someone, watch her for a bit first. its crazy that you have to go through a process but thats how it be. it could save you the drama. thats why i barely go out nowadays, and when i do, i rarely interact with anyone. keep to myself, do my thing and go home. safe and alive.
Wow.. to come back and be a champion! No wonder why he was such a soldier on the basketball battlefield!💯🙏
Meanwhile Mr. Triple Single thinking he a bad man lmfao
Russell Johnson yes
Dray one of the best defenders ever and an elite passer. 3x champion. His job isn't to score, casual.
Antoneus Johnson nah his job is to do absolutely nothing without curry and Klay
Antoneus Johnson he got exposed this year tho 😂🤣
@@tonyjohnson5805 Dray is declining fast.
Ive always beena huge fan of Paul Pierce and "The Answer vs the Truth" was one of the greatest games I ever had the pleasure of watching live.
PP was known for being a jerk, not paying bar tabs, and most clubs HATED having him around.
Such a great clip
You could see the results of his focus on ball… his 3rd year was IMPRESSIVE, even by today’s standards.
Props to Matt Barnes for touching on the mental health aspect....👍🏾🙏🏿👊🏿
People don't understand: Bigger guya are probably in MORE danger than an average sized person in a club or in the streets. The average person would feel relatively confident fighting a 5'9 male in a 1v1 street fight. But a 6'7 guy like Pierce? A lot of guys would be afraid to lose and wouldnt hesitate to pull out a weapon. A kid who played ball for LSU named Wayde Sims lost his life like that. Got into a fight at a Southern University homecoming party in 2018 and some dude ended up shooting him. Lesson is you cant ever take anything or anyone for granted. Pierce may have thought because he waa bigger than everyone and a millionaire that he could do whatever he wanted and stepped on whomever's toes he wanted. Some guys don't mind being reckless to do what they think is "defending their honor."
Paul Pierce, "The Truth," is a class act and was one of the best Celtics of all time.
The Truth.
Love this fckn show!! Stack should deff talk more!!! He's knowledgeable n wise w his perspective. Matt Barnes is like literally a perfect host. Dope af
Matt & Stephen ! WE WANT AI , AND GP ON THE SHOW!!
Faxtssssss
Gotta realize these dudes are real ppl facts too EVERYTHING they said
My favorite player growing up. Killa on the right wing, slow but crafty.
Im from Akron Ohio, and i rock my black and green Pierce Jersey all the time. TRUTH.
Favorite Celtic of all time
3:04 he almost cussed 😂😂💯
“One of the loung ladies” 😂
J Dot thought i was trippin lol
Sorry this happened to Paul. You’re in someone’s town so the best thing is to have respect. Guys go crazy over women in the clubs. If a guy says she’s with me apologize and move on. The girl was probably star struck. Paul probably carried a gun because he pointed someone out. These guys never forget.
Stack spoke that truth tho.. let someone make it out as an accountant or lawyer and never come back, no one bats an eye... but if he/she gets famous and don't wanna come back, then they're lame
Look at Ye.
I was cut by my blood brother and I still love him to this very day.❤️🔥
Is there any video of his first game that season? I'd love to see the crowd reaction
Just google Celtics Paul Pierce and the date of the game... come on people ...
Kimberly Becoat your comment is a waste of time/space, say something beneficial or nothing at all
6:00 - 6:15 its the same with non celebrity ppl too, except we still gotta get on public transportation. You feel weird or anxious & ppl pick up on your vibe then they look at you the same way. But anyways, glad he came out okay!
The truth said he'll kill somebody. I believe him! Had you pressed him at this time the truth would have squeezed!!!
🚫🧢
Its crazy how as humans we hate and try to kill each other. Instead of staying positive and trying to lift each other up for the better of mankind. Its reality and probably wont ever change, glad Paul Pierce survived this. just look how close he was to death...and all for what? Smh
Some professional athletes need to realize that they are not NORMAL people. If you want to have a good time, stay low key or hang around people within your income bracket.
people should never forget how good these guys were the nba had some amazing players even what’s happening to melo it’s disrespectful because we should give credit to all nba legends
just remember this the dude that kept lebron frm getting to the finals for years
dread. There were 3 other all stars on his team tho🥴🥴 wasn’t just him
Steven Rivera all that just to win one ring
square earth appreciation channel one ring with players like Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, and Tracy Mcgrady all in their prime to contend against. Remember the year they won is the same year Team USA came to the Beijing Olympics with the Redeem Team. With how stacked the NBA was in star power, it's impressive that Paul Pierce and the Celtics won a chip at all
@@Rylopero All those players you just mentioned except Dwyane Wade were on the Western Conference teams so it's not like the Celtics were facing them in the playoffs except obviously only in the Finals.
