Everybody knows how much I disliked the Knicks when I was with the Celtics, but I think it's grown to another level.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
We used to play 'Double Dribble' on Nintendo. Later, in high school, it was more 'NBA Live' and 'John Madden Football.'
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Usually, when you win the championship, you party all summer and don't work out. But when I won, I mean, I had my good times, but I used it as motivation to do it again. When you realize you can accomplish something so great, you want to do it again.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I just think it's really upsetting when you see a community just go out and burn down stores and trash cars.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I love the fact that I get to play against the Los Angeles Lakers in a Game 7 on the road.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
The media in Utah is not the same as the media in New York, so that can wear on some people.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Mostly I play sports games - football and basketball. 'Inside Drive' and 'NFL Fever.'
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Personally, I think I've got split personalities, and I may need a psychiatrist. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Seriously. I'm serious about this.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
You definitely gotta get more rest as an older player than you did when you were young. You're young, full of energy. You're out, up late, watching movies or out hanging out with your friends.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Kids are the most genuine thing to me: everything they say and do, they mean it.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
Old-school guys, they don't need to see the doctor, the massage therapist. We'd come in when we was 21; we'd go right to the court and start shooting.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I don't have to use anything to motivate me, a trade or anything like that, for me to say I want to win a championship.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
When you're not winning in your last couple of years, it gets frustrating because where's your motivation?
Quote by -Paul Pierce
My strength comes from my mom. Just seeing what she had to go through to raise us, she wouldn't make excuses; she wouldn't put her head down. So I guess I looked at adversity right in the eye and took it on.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I understand when you have great players on losing teams who are tired of losing, struggling in the playoffs every year. You're the lone star. I've been in that position.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I'm a basketball junkie and a real historian of the game, so for me to get a chance to express it and give my perspective on a national stage, I'm really enjoying it.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
When you gotta go through something tough, I've always been a guy that just wants to get it out of the way.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I respect LeBron. People think we have a hate for each other, but I totally respect what he's done.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I've never been in a gang. None of my friends have been in a gang. I've never rolled around with big entourages.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
In college, I probably lost a total of about 11 games, and then I came to the Celtics and in my first three weeks we went on a nine-game losing streak.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I think you're a product of your influences, your environment. You see guys with so much talent, but they got the wrong people around them telling them the wrong things. They wind up going down the wrong path.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I majored in criminal justice. I like 'CSI,' all that, '24.' I watch those shows on A&E, if I watch TV. I don't really watch TV shows.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I want to be that guy that says I was one of the first guys to put a banner in Brooklyn.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
When you've been around the game so much for so many years, it's just like it's a part of you.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
It's no secret that me and New York got history. It's no secret. This is no secret. It's already known.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
I knew I wasn't going to be a scientist; I knew that early. When they started talking about dissecting frogs, I knew I wasn't going to be a scientist.
Quote by -Paul Pierce
You've got to put in the work. And you've got to play with confidence. You've got to believe in yourself.
