If I do make it, just to be recognized in basketball lore forever. When I’m long gone and away. I’ve always said, look, the Hall of Fame is forever, and having my number hung up in the Boston Garden is forever, Paul Pierce .
So it’s a true honor if it were to happen. I’m blessed that I was able to put time in on my craft. All the hard work, mornings, nights, that I can get to this point, Paul Pierce
