Look who's on top of the world now? Paul Pierce silenced his critics and won his first ever NBA Championship. 10 years of playing for the Celtics has finally paid off. His hard work and effort was rewarded with a Finals MVP trophy. The Celtics' captain truly deserves the award.
He was a part of the biggest turnaround for the Celtics. Rumors of being traded in the beginning of the 2008 season wasn't new for "The Truth" after finishing with only 24 wins last season. He knew it was coming and who can blame him. Until all of that changed.
Celtics Executive Director of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge finally rewarded Pierce's loyalty to the ball club as he pulled off blockbuster deals to get Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves and Ray Allen from the Sonics. It was an effort to help P-Double get his confidence back and get a crack at possibly winning a championship. The Celtics were now transformed into a championship caliber team. Ainge made all the right moves to keep his loyal warrior happy.
Celtics fans now have a reason to rejoice. There's a new Big 3 in Beantown.
Paul Pierce worked hard in leading his team in finishing with 66 wins in the regular season. He can now forget his woeful 24 win last season. He and his team are the number one team in the NBA. Pierce was glad to be back in playoff contention.
Being the number one seed in the playoffs will test the resiliency of his team. Pierce had to work extra hard and win every game in the post season. The young Atlanta Hawks were the first team to challenge the Celtics' toughness. Playing for 7 games in the first round of the playoffs wasn't easy. Then King James and Cavaliers came along and took his C's to 7 games yet again in the 2nd round.
This time, it was the defensive minded Detroit Pistons' turn to challenge the mighty Celtics to determine which team was deserving to go to the finals. Pierce's sheer will and determination easily fended off the Pistons to a earn a spot in the NBA Finals. The Celtics were definietely back!
The much anticipated match-up of Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant was all the hype. It was the moment of "truth" for P-Double. The Celtics waited 22 years to get back in the finals. Pierce wasn't about to disappoint the Celtics fans.
Showing toughness and resiliency, Pierce made a dramatic comeback after spraining his right know in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. "The Truth" wasn't going away that easily. Many questioned his injury but he was focused more on winning that ring he so wanted. He didn't want all the criticize him and let his game do the talking.
He did just that. Game 6 of the NBA Finals was the highlight of his career. Averaging 19.7 points in the post season, Pierce finished with 33 points and was named 2008 NBA Finals MVP.
A well-deserved award for Pierce. The past is behind him. He's now riding high with his newly won NBA Championship. In Game 4, he said "I'm just waiting to exhale." He can now breathe a sigh of relief.
And that's "The Truth," indeed.
