In a recent interview with the Boston Herald, Paul Pierce, the L.A. native from Inglewood, said that he plans on retiring with the Celtics and that he will also remain in New England after his basketball career is over.
“I feel like I’m always going to keep my home here,” said Pierce, who made his way through the snow and sleet for last night’s 124-105 victory against the Knicks. “I feel like I’m always going to have something to do with the organization. I’ve put a lot of time in here, and I feel like I can still have a lot of influence after I’m done playing. I’d like to possibly give something back in a way. So I feel like I’ll always have a home here in Boston.
“This is always going to be a part of me. Boston is always going to be a part of me. I feel like I’m going to retire here as a Celtic, so I don’t see why I shouldn’t always be a part of this team. I’m not sure in what way I’ll stay with the team, but I want to be a part of it in some type of way. And a part of Boston, too.”
