Ok, by now most of you have seen this. When I was watching the game with friends, I was the only one to notice it, and started cracking up. All I can say is thank God for DVR. Then I saw it posted as an article here on celticsblog and was happy to see that I wasn't the only one that saw it.

Anyway, I guess I really don't have a point here except to say that I'm curiuos to see if you guys think Pierce did the right thing. I definately understood where he was coming from, and at a moment like that, I probably would have done the exact same thing.

However I can remember when I was about 10 years old, Michael Jordan was nearing the end of his career with the Bulls. At that time, I was as big of a Michael Jordan fan there could be (well, who wasn't). And I remember my uncle taking me to a Bulls/Celtics game that year, although they were bleacher seats, not courstide. I'm just trying to wonder how upset I would have been as a little kid if I was sitting Courtside and stuck my hand out for Antoine Walker, how upset would I have been if he just ignored me? I dont know, it's just a thought.

Since MJ retired and the truth was drafted, I have been a bigger celtics fan than anyone I have ever met. And now, I hate players that are compared to Michael Jordan because they make it difficult for my team to win at times.

So was it the right move for Paul? Did he even do it on purpose?

The Deli guy talked with the kid, and I heard that he's in intense therapy, he's just been crying and screaming why paul why!!?? for the last 2 days... they're going to sue the Celtics and Paul Pierce, and as part of the settlement they want the truth to come to his bday party in a Lebron jersey... more to come

You know what would have been awesome?

Remember the Knicks game last year, when we beat them by like sixty points?  Remember the Knicks fan in the crowd who stood up in the aisle, took off his jersey and flung it away as he walked out?

I would have loved to have seen that little kid rip off his BronBron jersey, throw it to the masses, then have PP give him a big high 5.  Eddie House gives the kid a chest-bump, BBD rubs his head for good luck, and we've got a new convert for life.

As it was - TOUGH LUCK, KID!

First, I am not so sure he even did it on purpose. I hope he did because that is hilarious.

It's kind of funnny because Paul rarely interacts with fans during a game because he is one of the most intense players I have ever seen. On the other hand you have Lebron, who has shown in the past that fans can actually dictate his play. I'm not sure what that says but I have seen Lebron get into it with fans before.

Also, I have sat within a few rows of Lebron in Boston and he will seek out fans in cavs jerseys to give different sweaty parting favors. In the process he taunts other fans around him who aren't wearing his team's jersey.

Just offering a contrast to the King, the media darling before anyone makes a judgement on PP for a really small act.

 Good grief.  
  It's not like he spit on the kid or something.

TP. He did nothing wrong. If he ignored him on purpose, good. Screw that kid and his jersey.

i saw that during the game
how that little punk dare to ask for a high 5
hopefully he will learn wich the good team is

nice work.  TP.

I hated Michael Jordan.  He was the enemy, just like Kobe is the enemy. 

I dom't blame PP for not giving the kid a high 5.  Pierce was fired up and at the time LeBron was the enemy and if the kid was there to see LeBron well, let him go to LeBron for a high 5.  Pierce was high fiving HIS fans and obviously that kid wasn't a Paul Pierce fan.    I love kids and all, but
