I actually didn’t watch the raising of the banner or the game, though I did hear lots about Paul Pierce’s comments.
It made me think of what I thought the night they won the Championship. When he spoke that night, he was very “me, me, me”. There was very little teamsmanship in his comments I thought — and I was just curious to know if anyone else felt the same way?
