This article touched me and made me love Pierce even more. I remember that day in Boston reading the news papers... being ten yrs old.. and hearing about the stabbing.
To actually watch him grow up in front of my eyes.. is just soo weird. Watching him as a ten yr old.. and now being 18.. and seeing how he came from backgrounds that were horrid.. and maturing into a GREAT player.. and teammate, instead of his selfish childish ways, makes me proud to have known n watched him THAT long.
He was a good player who had a HUGE potential... Shaq saw his potential and eventually gave him the name "the truth".... Paul just needed to grow up and learn how to be a GREAT player...
He deserved this so much. KG, Allen and all have their stories of long waits and struggles ovecome,... but this one just makes me almost cry...
Im so happy for the Celtics... esp Paul "THE TRUTH" Pierce...
Im glad he stayed here in Boston.
