Former Boston Celtics star, Paul Pierce, has inspired so many basketball fans around the world during his time with Boston. However, nothing was more inspiring, or bizarre, than his infamous ‘Wheelchair Game’ versus the Los Angeles Lakers in Game One of the 2008 NBA Finals.
As a sports fanatic, idolizing your favorite basketball player can be tough – the wins, the losses and the disappointment can be an emotional roller-coaster. In a similar fashion, Celtics fans have spent the past decade marveling at the heroics of their Captain, Paul Pierce.
In retrospect, Pierce was never the most athletic NBA star to grace the hardwood and never quite broke into the mainstream sports media cycle.
