Hooped Up

Without the aid of a safety harness, Paul Pierce hangs high from the rafters of TD Garden to tell you how he wants to add to the Celtics’ legacy and raise yet another championship banner in Boston. He’s like Batman in green.

The truth hurts, it can set you free and apparently the Truth aka Paul Pierce can also throw down a nasty two-handed smash plus the foul on Lavoy Allen for the and one.

You’ve probably forgotten all about them by now. Nothing left in the tank, nothing left to prove, too slow, too injury prone, too much mileage. Hmm…

You better hope you’re right, because here they come and what some call age. They call experience, grit, toughness, leadership, moxie, savvy, passion, desire, heart and these guys are at their best when the stakes get BIG.

Why? Cause he’s a Celtic dammit, that’s why.

Artist Kevin Will Chen strikes again with this collection created for House Of Hoops Los Angeles that features current Lakers Kobe Bryant with Pau Gasol, Oakland native Paul Pierce, Riverside native Reggie Miller, former Clippers guard Ron Harper and Compton native Tayshaun Prince.
