Former NBA star Paul Pierce has been waiting to get his revenge on Draymond Green for seven years. His opportunity is finally within his sights.
In February 2017, Pierce was in the midst of his final NBA season, something he had announced. Green went viral during a Golden State Warriors-Los Angeles Clippers matchup when mics picked up him saying, “Chasing that farewell tour—they don’t love you like that! ... You thought you was Kobe?”
The interaction went viral at the time, and fans dunked on Pierce. Green’s reference to Kobe Bryant was a nod to his legendary final NBA season back in 2016 when every game he played was a celebration. So, when appearing on The Draymond Green Show this week, Pierce asked Green when he’s going to retire and if he’d announce that his final year was his last season beforehand.
