Boston Celtics ready to party as Paul Pierce voted MVP in LA Lakers romp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
For ten years he has worn the green proudly while the club endured some of its toughest times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so much so that last season the Celtics recorded a pitiful 24-58 regular season. But he stuck at it because that is what Pierce does.
Loyalty and hardwork are his trademarks. And physical courage. In 2000 he was stabbed repeatedly in his chest and face when attacked in a nightclub and had to undergo lung surgery before resuming his career,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He carries the facial scars to this day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He has done it the hard way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
A friendly Policeman Scott Collins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who used to run the local Basketball team - used to open up the Inglewood HS gym in a rough area of Los Angeles at 6am every morning so Pierce could practice his basketballs skill.
Statistically Pierce captured his MVP award on account of averaging 21,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].8 points and 6.3 assists during the Celtics' six matches against LA Lakers but what the statistics don't tell you is that Pierce is the heart and soul of the team and as long as he was on court there was no conceivable way the Celtics were going to lose this series.
It might be Pierce's one and only shot at the NBA title and he didn't intend to blow it. "I'm not living under the shadows of the other greats now. I'm able to make my own history," said Pierce. "If I was going to be one of the best Celtics that ever played, I had to put up a banner and today we did that."
Pierce was named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player from Boston's first title team since 1986 thanks in part to the defensive work he did in containing the regular season NBA Most Valuable Player,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lakers' superstar Kobe Bryant.
"I think Paul was only viewed as a scorer and now I think people see him as a complete basketball player," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "He did it all."
Second only to Larry Bird among Celtics' players in scoring average, Pierce struggled as a star on a weak team for nine years until Boston added Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen this season. Boston made the greatest one-season turnaround in NBA history, leaping from the second-worst record in the NBA last season to a championship.
"It feels so great,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Pierce said. "I worked so hard, 10 long years with the Boston Celtics, going through my ups and downs. This is what makes those other things so sweet, knowing you were at rock bottom a year ago. To climb all the way back to the top, this is a dream come true and I'm going to cherish this one forever. It means everything."
Pierce also took time out to praise Collins: "He kind of took me under his wing when I was a kid, got me really into basketball and other things, came to the gym at six in the morning. He was definitely very instrumental in my life and in basketball.
"I wanted to get into the gym before anybody else had a chance. That's what you had to do back then to get to this point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It helped me get a work ethic and it helped me sacrifice. Who wants to get up at 5:30 to go to the gym? I know nowadays I don't. But then you were a kid who had dreams and tried to develop a work ethic. That's pretty much where it all started, just being disciplined when you woke up and developing a work ethic."
