Damn….seein’ Pierce in tears was deep.

thank you for posting the ceremony. nba coverage in our country or at least by my cable provider will only begin on friday and i may not have the chance to watch it were it not for this post. not all celtics fans live in the continental u.s and in behalf of those fans i really would like to thank jeff and the guys who manage this blog for letting us have the opportunity to see and experience this wonderful and long awaited moment. mabuhay!!!

as another fan who doesn’t live in the u.s i was really really happy and touched to see the ceremony here. seeing everybody and especially pierce like that was emotional.
the celtics rule and all is right with the world again

I’m welling up. What a great bunch of guys.

Pierce was already on the path to being a hall of famer before last season. Then he began to write his chapter in Celtics’ lore in Game 7 against Cleveland. The ring cemented his status among the all time greats. But I kept waiting for that one moment that would bring it all together for Pierce, so that he could be mentioned in the same breath as Russell, Bird, Havlicek, and Cousy. Well that moment happened last night. Pierce’s moving display of emotion and his subsequent performance cemented him in my mind. Paul Pierce is now in the club. When you talk about all time Celtics greats, the conversation now and forever must include Paul Pierce. Congratulations to Paul and all the rest of the Celtics. And a special thank you to the Celtics PA announcer whose raw emotion during that ceremony made it that much more special.
