Paul Pierce: The Truth prevails

Paul Pierce labeled The Truth by the great Shaquille O'Neal. Was one of the greatest Celtics to ever put on the green and white. He could get to the hoop with ease, he had a nasty midrange game that was at times unstoppable and could he knock down the three! No one embodied being a Celtic like Paul, and his love for the franchise was evident even when he played for other teams later in his career.

An early indication of his greatness in the post season came during the Eastern Conference Finals vs the then New Jersey Nets. Where the Celtics were trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter and he scored 19 of his 28 points in that fourth quarter to to lead the Celtics to the greatest fourth quarter comeback ever! Talk about incredible! In game 7 vs the Cavs during their epic title run he scored the 2nd most points in Celtics playoff history where he scored 41 points and out did Lebron. During the Finals that year he was carted off the floor and wheel chaired to the locker room and ended up coming back and lighting up the Lakers!

When asked about Kobe, The Truth said I'm The Best Player! Talk about confidence and what you want out of your best player. When Paul, KG and Ray came together they had the largest turn around in NBA history a 42 game improvement. On November 3rd 2010 he scored his 20000 point vs the Bucks and was the third Celtic in history to reach that number. On February 7th 2012 he passed the great Larry Bird for second on the Celtics scoring list. On March 9th he played his 1000th game as a Celtic, joining Hondo and the Chief!

An NBA champ and Finals MVP he played on 10 All Star teams. His number 34 is retired in the Garden and he's being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this year! When he was finally ready to retire after playing for the Nets, Wizards and Clippers he came home and signed with the Celtics and retired one on July 17th 2017. Paul Pierce has hit the most buzzer beaters in NBA history - absolute clutch.

. On the floor Pierce was the prototypical Celtic despite growing up a Lakers fan. He embraced and loved his time as a Celtic and his play was evident showed it. An underrated aspect of his game was defense and he could make big stops on the floor. If you needed a hoop going to the basket, he was your guy. One of the best ever at that. Need that clutch midrange jumper of the dribble? He was your guy. How about a big three? Well, you know the rest!

As a 16-year old , he quickly transitioned from: Minor thefts and breaking into homes To: Taunting and threatening a father and his two daughters as an unseen

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik

Nik Stauskas adds "shooting with size" voiced by Brad Stevens

As a 6'6" shooting guard, 28-year-old Nik Stauskas adds that shooting with size sorely needed by the Boston Celtics. Drafted 8th-overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2014, Stauskas has bounced around to various teams since then. Nik Stauskas' deal with the Boston Celtics includes non-guaranteed salary for the second season in 2022-23, a source tells @celticsblog . — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) March 4, 2022 Nik has never averaged more than 9.5 points per game in the NBA, but Boston is most likely counting on his production for Grand Rapids in the G League as the incentive to sign him. In 17 games thus far, he has averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG - while shooting 50% on field goals and 45% on treys. Nik Stauskas is signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics, his agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Stauskas had an historic week, scoring 100 points on 57 and 43 point performances in back-to-back games for Grand Rapids. — Adrian Wo
