2016 has seen some of the best players of my era retire from the game of basketball. The farewell tour of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and his silent exit, and Kevin Garnett announcing his exit last Friday. Today, future hall of Famer Paul Pierce announced he will retire after this season.
It’s time. https://t.co/8f1mtGapAO

As a Laker fan Pierce was never one of my favorite players but he is one of the most respected guys in the league. He will forever be known as the Truth and for the historic season in 2008 where he helped form the Big Three.
Ray Allen, KG, Pierce, along wit Doc Rivers and Rajon Rondo took the league by storm on their way to the championship. Many people believe that Pierce’s Celtic team helped give LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh the idea to form their own Big Three in Miami.
For now Pierce will focus on the season at hand. Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and J.J. Redick will do their best to try and capture the club’s first ever NBA Championship and send Pierce out as a champion.
