Paul Anthony Pierce (born October 13, 1977 in
Oakland, California) is an American professional
basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the NBA.
He earned All-America First Team honors in his
junior year at Kansas, and has been a starter every
season since being selected by the Celtics with the
10th overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. He is a
6-time All-Star and led Boston to an appearance in
the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002.
On September 25, 2000, Paul Pierce was stabbed 11
times in the face, the neck and the back while at a
late night dance club in the Boston area. He had to
undergo lung surgery to repair the damage. He has
overcome the stabbing and was the only Celtic to
start all 82 games that year.
Pierce was a member of the US national team for the
2002 FIBA World Championship starting all nine games
and averaging 19.8 ppg. Pierce was also selected for
the United States National Basketball team for the
2006 FIBA World Championship, but did not compete
because of minor off-season surgery.
