I'M COLD BLOODED!

Outside of Pedro & Brady, it's hard for me to think of someone I've rooted for that I've loved more. And unlike those other two, he always felt human. He's always felt reachable -- you never thought with Petey or Brady that you could go out and have a beer with them. But with Paul? I always felt like he was fallible, and that's what made him so great to root for. I'm not one for spoogefests, but it's hard for me to even rank the Paul Pierce moments I love in order. There are so many of them. He's the best Celtic I've rooted for since Larry and he probably will be for another 15 years. He's the best. I love the guy.
LeBron James recently said that Paul Pierce was his biggest rival. I think that means a lot. I don't mean to sully this thread with the name of LeBron, but that's a pretty hefty statement coming from a guy who's going to end up in the top 5 players all-time. Pierce never gave or backed down from any player, never let anyone ever sink his confidence. He's not the fastest or most athletic player, and he's always been kind of pudgy-looking. But he's ALWAYS put in so much motherfucking work on the court. I'll miss rooting for him in green and white, and I'll do my damnedest to be there the night his number is put in the rafters.
