If I see LeBron walking down the street, it's not going to be no fistfight. I've got a lot of respect for him.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I love the fact that, if I don't win multiple championships, that I probably won't be mentioned amongst the other guys in Celtics history who've done it before. That type of stuff motivates me.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I'm not a guy who goes into the neighborhood, gets beat up by the bully's gang, and then now I want to join their gang. That's just not me. I wanna fight - let's go! I mean, I'm gonna stand up for myself. That's just the competitive nature of where I come from, the era I grew up in.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
After 18 NBA years, it's hard to believe I'll be playing in each arena for the last time.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Sometimes when general managers get a new job, they clean house and start over and rebuild and get the players they want in there.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I'm happy I'm able to leave a legacy behind. I'm happy I was able to win a championship. I have no regrets about nothing.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Every kid who just played basketball knew about the Boston Celtics. They're one of the few teams who were always on national TV along with the Lakers.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Kobe is one of the best scorers in NBA history, but I don't have as much trouble with him in the post as I do with Carmelo.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I've got three beautiful kids that wear me out after I get home from practice. I think that's a good thing so I'm able to get my rest.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
You see more friendships in the league. It's not like in the '80s when you had enemies, or you couldn't stand this guy, and there were fights all the time.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
It's just something I've always loved to do: talk basketball. It's easy for me to give my perspective, my analyst approach to it, because even when I played, I would watch film, talk about the game.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I always say I wish I was in my prime matching up against LeBron. Let's see how many championships he would have won then.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
The NBA is changing so much. It's not like when I came up, with that old-school mentality that practice really mattered.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
When you win a championship, it is a great feeling, and you really don't want that feeling to go away.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I'm a competitive player, and I love being on the court. If the NBA cancels the season I'm definitely looking at my options and considering going overseas.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
A lot of players know I've been around 13 years and this is my second lockout. I got a lot of respect. I know what's going on both for the league and the union.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
That is one of my greatest strengths. I am not afraid to face challenges or any matchup in the league.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I originally was more into baseball and football, but being in Los Angeles, you just couldn't help but to fall in love with the game of basketball because they had such a winning tradition.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Understanding who you are is saying, 'You're great; you have tons of confidence, and don't ever forget that.' And that helped me, man. Because when things weren't going right, I thought, 'You've got to remember who you are. Don't stray from that. Don't let these things get you down.'
