I saw it.  He was pretty funny, kind of rubbing it in to LA.  He came out in a wheelchair. LOL

Paul, don't even joke about ever going to play for the Lakers!  That would be like Damon going to the Yankees times a thousand.

LOL.  I'm sure that was his thought a year ago when he thought he was going to be traded.  Only natural to dream of playing for your home team.  Don't worry.  He's not even thinking about LA now, surely not the way he was clowning them. ;D

maybe equal, but definitely not times a thousand. 

Sox play the Yanks 19 times a year and are only 4 hours apart where as the Celts play the Lakers twice a year and are clear across the country.

Yeah, I kinda cringed when I heard that.  Not the smartest thing to say, but I'm sure he had some nerves.

I loved the entrance though.

i'm not too happy about his comments when he was asked if he still wanted to be a laker... granted this is shot in la though. and the 1 gang to another gang... uhh... bad reference. i think garnett and allen carried themselves a lot better on letterman even though it was only the day after winning.

I think the three of them let their personalities shine through.  Pierce has always been the enigma and personality of the group.  Garnett and Allen were great at what they did on Letterman, carrying themselves like champions.  Pierce might had a little more fun and added a little more flair to it.  He said he didn't see himself ever being a Laker after being involved in the rivalry, I thought he answered that question well.

i read everyones comments before watching the video and I dunno what you people are talking about.  I think Pierce handled himself fantastically.   I think Pierce has really learned how to handle the media a lot better recently.  I always use to think he said a lot of dumb things and from your comments I expected more of the same, but he was great.  The comment about playing for LA was nothing.  All he said was that when he was younger he wanted to finish his career as a Laker, but now he's happy being a Celtic.  There's nothing new about that comment.  It's widely known that Pierce grew up a Laker fan.  You guys made it sound like he was saying he STILL wanted to finish his career as a Laker.

He was funny, looked comfortable up there and made a lot of jokes rubbing it in to the Los Angeles fans.  I loved it.

Also, KG and Ray on Letterman was great, but KG was still really really wired in that interview.  The guy couldn't sit still.  His legs were shaking.  I thought he was going to jump up and start doing sprints at any second.   It's so interesting how completely different the personalities of the three stars are.  They never disappoint.  Ray is always the calm, collected and professional one.   KG is always all intensity and all fire.  Pierce is the fun-loving improvising one.   Great mix of guys.

The guy grew up in one of the worst gang towns of all time, i'm sure thats an expression he heard a million times growing up....
