Celtics legend Paul Pierce stopped shooting hoops professionally five years ago. Now, he’s shooting down rumors from his playing days.
During Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals against the Lakers, Pierce had to leave the court on a wheelchair due to a knee injury. However, he came back into the game less than two minutes of game time later and immediately scored seven points in the final minutes of the third quarter.
It was later revealed that Pierce tore part of his MCL, but that didn’t stop years of conspiracies as to why Pierce was wheelchaired off the court.
