Pierce turned 46 years old on October 13, 2023.
The Celtics legend is undoubtedly one of the most underrated stars of his generation.
Despite playing in an era where Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Dirk Nowitzki were still in their primes, Pierce led the Celtics to a title.
Moreover, he also made 10 NBA All-Star teams in his career.
Outside of it, Pierce gave Celtics fans many memorable moments on the court.
Following his retirement from the NBA in 2017, Pierce has remained in touch with the league.
He was previously an analyst for ESPN but was fired from his job due to a controversial Instagram Live session in 2021.
Nowadays, Pierce makes regular appearances with former teammate Kevin Garnett on the KG Certified podcast.
The former NBA star has shared several stories from his playing days and is always ready to give his take about the current events of the league via the podcast.
