Paul Pierce Announces His Final Season In NBA -blogged by @BenitaShae #PaulPierce, forward for the Los Angeles #Clippers, has announced via a column in #ThePlayersTribune that he will be retiring at the end of this coming season. Pierce says, "Just like any difficult decision, I think you’ve got to be at peace with yourself. I’m at peace with retiring, but I’ve got one more ride left. One more season. One more opportunity." He continued, "After 18 #NBA years, it’s hard to believe I’ll be playing in each arena for the last time,” he wrote. “So I’m going to enjoy every practice, every bus ride, every team dinner, every time running out through the tunnel. I’m going to do my part to give us a shot at the ultimate goal.” Pierce will end his career in the city where he grew up but it was with the Boston Celtics that he made a name for himself. The #Celtics chose him as the 10th overall pick in the 1998 draft, and he was a 10-time all-star with the team.
