When it was time to pursue Banner 17 in earnest, Hall of Fame Boston Celtics alumni Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett had the benefit of previous generations of Celtics greatness to lean on in their quest to win it all, with the likes of Tommy Heinsohn, Cedric Maxwell, and Bill Russell making themselves available to help the Boston stars of that era rise to historic greatness as well.
Now, trying to pay that debt forward, Garnett and Pierce have made themselves available in a similar way to this iteration of the Celtics. We even see Pierce talking at length about his and KG’s newfound commitment to helping the next generation of Boston legends on an episode of the team-produced “View from the Rafters” podcast.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what The Ticket and The Truth had to say about reconnecting with the team they hung a banner with ahead of (hopefully) hanging another.
