Former NBA superstar Paul Pierce was once considered the face of the storied Boston Celtics franchise as he played with the team for the first 15 years of his career before bouncing around the league.
Although his last four seasons in the NBA were forgettable, Pierce was able to do enough during his time with the Celtics to secure his place in the Basketball Hall of Fame, joining close friend and teammate Kevin Garnett, with whom he won a championship in 2008, defeating Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
Even though it took a long time for Pierce to finally play on a team that was a legitimate title contender, he was finally able to do it when he joined forces with Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo, as they formed one of the best teams in league history.
With Pierce knowing what it is like to play for a losing team and a team on top of the NBA, the one-time champion opened up about what it felt like after winning a title with the Celtics.
“When I won that ring, my walk was different,” Pierce said on “Speak.” “My walk was like, ‘Yeah!’ … Before I won a championship, my shoulders was a little slumped.”

Unfortunately for Pierce, those star-studded Celtics could not win another title despite being one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference during their impressive run.
Pierce and company had another chance in the 2010 NBA Finals, but Bryant and Pau Gasol got their revenge, defeating Boston in seven games.
