Thank You Paul Pierce

He is not a tidy superstar. You cannot neatly wrap the career of Boston Celtics captain Paul Pierce, the newly minted NBA Finals Most Valuable Player and first-time champion, in a perfectly symmetrical box with a corresponding matching ribbon.

His path to greatness has been far too gnarly for that.

"You're right," he said, still gleefully gripping his championship hat in the wee hours Wednesday morning. "Life has so many hurdles. Some of them I've hopped over, and some of them I've tripped over. The key is to get back up and finish the race."

Paul said it perfectly here. This is, in a nutshell, who he is. He's been knocked down so many times. He's tripped and fell so many times. He's been bruised, battered, and (literally) stabbed many times. Every time he pushed himself back up. He stood up, stared back at the world, and spat back, "Is that the best you've got? Bring it!"

This was such a great article I had to share it with everyone.
