Today’s game lacks fundamentals; many former players struggle to adjust & feel “lost”. -Paul Pierce

“Yeah, I remember everything. I remember that day. I was getting ready to go to an event. I was at a hotel in LA. My [agent] Jeff Schwartz called me and he’s like, ‘Man, you’re getting traded.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I was about to go to the ESPYs that night. I was getting ready to go out. And I was like, ‘Man, I got traded.’ I was so shocked. I remember getting on the plane, flying to Brooklyn, and I was like, ‘Man, I’m a Brooklyn Net.’ It was crazy. I was sad. I was sad. I was like, ‘Man, I left Boston.’ I’m thinking this is gonna be my last time in Boston. I didn’t know what to expect. But I’m happy that I got to finish my career where I started. It was a great feeling.”
