Syracuse basketball icon garners ultimate respect from Paul Pierce

The Syracuse basketball program has seen many stars over the years, but perhaps none brighter than that of Carmelo Anthony. Well that star just got a bit brighter with the recent comments from future Hall of Famer, Paul Pierce.

Pierce has been around the block in the NBA. He spent the majority of his career with the Boston Celtics. While over the years he has made stops in Brooklyn, Washington, and most recently with his hometown Los Angeles Clippers.

Well it’s official, “The Truth”, will call it a career after 19 seasons in the league. Pierce was drafted 10th overall by the Boston Celtics in 1998.
