The story about Doc being a “player’s coach” is funny. Ray Allen was also mentioned towards the end.

TP for the post. I wasn’t around for the Bird era, so growing up watching Pierce was really special for me. His Jersey was The only Jersey I’ve ever purchased for any sport and he was the reason I wanted learn to play basketball.

Great speech, great player. Thanks Paul.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Great speech. I had to watch some Pierce highlights after. It’s easy to forget just how insanely clutch Pierce was. It always felt like the Captain could bring it home if it came down to the last shot
