((HT: Basketball Insiders/CSNNE))
A lot of people wondered why the return of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett meant so much to the people of Boston...
He didn't leave on his own...he helped bring a title to a team that he had been with in lean years...
And, in Adrian Wojnarowski's piece on Yahoo!Sports, we find out that he treated everyone equally in the Celtics organization:
He fought for the lowest of assistants and basketball staff to get playoff bonuses, and he used to give the team's traveling party $1,000 each to spend on the annual trip to the Nike employee store outside of Portland. Inside and outside the organization, Pierce was generous with commitments of time and resources, relentlessly championing children's causes and charities.
And Garnett wanted to know everything about every aspect of Celtics history...
The fact that the Brooklyn won 85-79 was lost on everyone for a Celtics team that was 15-30 going in...
The recap after the fact was a reinforcement of what the two meant...
