Pretty crazy that all of these were highlights in his 30's. Watching this video and thinking about that article from the MIT Sloan Conference that said Pierce is one of the most athletic players made me realize just how explosive he is. He really is a marvel to watch. His spin moves, stutter steps, stop on a dime, pull up, blow by, you name it, he makes it look easy. Add to it his intelligence, shooting ability, and body control after taking bumps, he is as unique an offensive threat as there is.
Most of these were from the playoffs too, which is also remarkable.
Tommy Heinsohn has lived and breathed Celtic basketball for over 50 years, and if he says Pierce is the greatest offensive player to ever wear the uniform, that's saying something. This video shows why he says that. Perfect balance of talent, athleticism, finesse, and power.
He's the reason I became a Celtics fan over 10 years ago, and it's been an honor to watch him all this time, and I'll surely miss him whenever he stops wearing this uniform. I couldn't have asked to see him paired with anyone better than KG, even if it happened later than we all would have liked.
He's truly one-of-a-kind and without a doubt one of the most underrated players of our generation.
