The Celtics legend and Basketball Hall of Famer has regularly vouched for Boston during its latest ascension as a title contender, forming close ties with Jayson Tatum and labeling the current star’s Olympic benching as “Celtic hate” over the summer.
Pierce even joined members of Boston’s 2008 title squad on a duck boat during the Celtics’ 2024 championship parade in June.
