Few players are more beloved to fans of the Boston Celtics than Hall of Fame small forward Paul Pierce, who once famously had a passing-of-the-torch moment with one of the most popular contemporary members of the Celtics, All-Star forward Jayson Tatum.
While Tatum has a long way to go to match the career of a Celtics legend like The Truth or — in the video embedded below — his fellow Boston alumnus and Hall of Famer Cedric Maxwell, the parallels and talent in the St. Louis native’s game are already evident while still developing.
To hear Pierce talk about that iconic courtside exchange, check out said clip provided courtesy of CLNS Media’s “NBA History & Legends on CLNS” Instagram channel.
