Paul Pierce is known as “The Truth” to Celtics fans, and it might be hard to find a Celtics fan that disagrees with his take on Kyrie Irving’s return to Boston.
In a segment during “NBA Countdown” on Friday, Pierce disagreed with Danny Ainge’s comment that Celtics fans booing Irving in his return to Boston would be “a sad commentary.”
“Danny Ainge, he genuinely feels that way, but this is Boston folks,” Pierce said. “When you tell these fans that ‘hey, I’m going to re-sign, I’ll be back, I’m here for the long run’ and then you turn around and leave and leave a sour taste in the organization’s lap and fans, this is going to be one of the loudest boos in league history.
