'Thank you, Paul': Paul Pierce Celtics video tribute

BOSTON -- The Celtics pay video tribute to former captain Paul Pierce during his first game back in Boston since being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2013. Pierce is second in franchise history only to John Havlicek in scoring.

Building for the future or not, can't believe Paul left. You can tell he regrets it too, he was fighting tears during that entire tribute. Thanks for the memories of growing up watching you play Paul, hope you win with BKN, (even though you won't).

I'm a Bulls fan and never been a Paul Pierce fan, but that was awesome. He's undoubtedly a Boston sports legend and completely deserved that. KG too

[BjBjBjization]

[bounou]

[MattTheMsFan]

Paul will definitely be back on the Celtics before he hangs it up.  I'm not even a Boston fan, but this was touching to see.

 This is really touching! I'm crying!
Pierce-Rondo-Garnett was the group of truth!
Pierce since his draft in 1998 he had always played for Boston, 15 years!
It's like Kobe with the Lakers!
NBA is really something!

I'm not a Celtics OR a nets fan, and I still cried

[MrRenscorner]

Love both these guys...pierce and garnet...old school basketball...kobe included
Damn Ainge for letting these 2 horses go, he should have let these 2 guys finish their careers in Boston, especially paul...sometime the business side of the NBA sucks...BUT its a great video tribute...from a laker fan
