When I saw this video this morning I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I have a new found respect for Paul Pierce (not that I didn’t already think he was the man). Paul Pierce in the Cavaliers @ Boston game on Friday night was giving everyone in the crowd by his bench a high five after a great play. But when it came turn of a little kid in a Lebron James jersey reaching his arms out for his high-five, Paul Pierce looked the other way, pretended not to see the kid, and kept going about his business.
Now in a way I feel a bit bad for the kid, as i’m sure it would have been a great moment for him to touch one of his hero’s. But c’mon kid! You are in Boston Garden, right beside the Celtics bench, and you’re wearing a Lebron James Cleveland Cavaliers jersey??? You deserved that snub my friend….better luck next time. Here is the video for your enjoyment. Shout out goes to Black Sports Online for the tip.
