Paul Pierce came up with a unique way to salute the city of Boston yesterday.
Pierce publicly addressed the trade to the Nets for the first time yesterday afternoon when he announced on his Twitter account, “I’m going to share some of my favorite Boston memories on new Instagram account. #THANKYOUBOSTON”
For the next two hours, Pierce then posted 44 pictures chronicling his history in Boston, ending with a picture of him holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy at Fenway Park in 2008, with a message that read, “Boston, you’ve been my home for the last 15 years. Together, we’ve been through it all. I could not be more grateful for all of your support and Boston will forever be a part of who I am.”
* Fans who want to take part in tomorrow’s press conference to introduce Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry and Andrei Kirilenko can come to Barclays Center and watch it on the oculus at the front of the building at noon.
The press conference will also be televised live on YES and streamed live on the team’s website.
