One of the most fearless and clutch scorers of the past two decades, Paul Pierce earned the nickname “The Truth” after fully establishing himself as one of the elite offensive players in the NBA. Even while the Boston Celtics of the early 2000’s struggled, Pierce was named to an All-NBA team twice, as well as five All-Star teams.

And once he was able to join forces with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, the original “Big 3” brought a championship back to Boston, in which Pierce would be named NBA Finals MVP. To this day, Pierce is the Celtics’ second all-time leading scorer, only behind John Havlicek, and currently holds the franchise record for most three-point field goals made.
