Paul Pierce has not played for the Boston Celtics since 2013, but his tie to the organization will never be broken. Pierce, now with the Los Angeles Clippers, is in the midst of his final season in the NBA, wrapping up a tremendous 19-year career. On Monday, the Clippers hosted the Celtics in Pierce’s final matchup against the team that drafted him 10th overall in 1998. After 15 memorable years with the Celtics franchise, Pierce decided to give the current C’s a pretty cool parting gift following his last go-around with Boston. We have a feeling that Pierce’s Celtics jersey will one day be hanging from the TD Garden rafters.

Donald Trump Taps Linda McMahon To Lead Small Business Administration
Share this: While some prominent sports figures are choosing not to stay in president-elect Donald Trump’s hotels, others will help run his administration. The president-elect added a new member to his team Wednesday, and you might recognize her from her days of receiving Steve Austin’s “Stone Cold Stunner’ move in the WWE ring.
