What Paul Pierce did last night was the most incredible, courageous thing I have ever seen in sports.
He put Willis to shame! He makes me ask the question, GIBSON WHO???
Ten years from now—no, one year from now—we will all be talking about how Pierce is such a hero in America, not just in sports—but a proud American.
The fact that he was shot in the leg by a sniper in the rafters (how the rifle was smuggled in is a different story) and was able to come back and not miss a shot is one for the ages.
He is really something special. His tolerance for pain is second to none.
Just think, one moment he was on the ground whispering to the trainer that his body was getting cold and he didn't think he could hold on—then he was carried off so the fans didn't have to see their super star go out like that, and he was wheeled into the locker room behind closed doors.
Less than seven minutes later he RAN out of the locker room.
WOW. Now that is an American hero

The only people who are writing these articles are Lakers fans. Sorry, but Boston fans can give a damn about the play. Even Jalen Rose and Legler on ESPN said that no one is taking this play seriously, and that Pierce is going to get clowned by his teammates for causing such a spectacle.
Also we forget, Perkins got hurt on this play, and didn't come back. So I love the win, but am pissed we lost our 2nd defensive player.
Lakers fan, Celtics fans don't care about drama. We are just waiting for Game 2. The Willis Reed story we will leave for 5-year olds. Come to our level. This is the Finals.
