Hall of Fame Boston Celtics small forward Paul Pierce had the luxury of learning from the greats of the game who remained close with the Celtics after the dynasty years of the 1960s and the era of titles in the 1970s and 80s.

The Kansas alum has put in the work trying to help instill Celtics culture into today’s players on the team and recently sat down with the hosts of the team-produced “View From the Rafters” podcast to talk about the process of mentoring a new wave of Celtics greats.
