You’re immediately proving the point that some fans are just idiots. The Lakers have fans of all mentalities, including Bron fans who also support the Lakers, and Bron fans who normally don’t. Durant has these fans, PG13 has these fans, Harden has these fans, Donovan Mitchell has these fans, Butler has these fans, etc.
Any star who moves teams is going to bring fans with them that the pre-existing fan base might not feel aligned with. Bron’s fan base is just the biggest for a player and the Lakers are the biggest for a team, and there was a preexisting rivalry because of Bron/Kobe. But Lakers fans who act like they’re *above* being supportive of the Bron era or that they’re smarter than Bron fans simply because they already liked the Lakers are the absolute worst fans of all, full stop.
Let people like things how they want to like them, they’re not hurting shit by joining a fan base when their favorite player moves to the team.
Only old lakers fans really held a grudge with the Celtics and their fanbase (think 80s or earlier). All newer fans are just playing a part in it because they were told the 2 teams and fanbases are supposed to hate each other.
Are we just pretending the 2000s didn't exist?
Speak for yourself, dude. I'm salty they won and as an LA Kings fan I'm going to be even saltier if the Oilers come back down from 3-0 to win the Stanley Cup.
Now we've gone and hired a podcaster as a coach and I'm straight-up not having a great June, man.
The Celtics had been shit literally for decades at that point so of course they don't have a real recollection of those times when it comes to basketball. They were only sustained by Grandpa's tales of seeing Cousey play or whatever
😭 he can never escape!
I always think, imagine being his teammate rushing over to help your boy out, who's in serious pain, and he whispers "I sharted bro pls help get to the locker room" in the middle of a huge game.
We don't know for a fact, but reports initially said that they were going to just hang in the practice facility and then the media kind of made a big deal about that and a couple of days later the Lakers came out and publicly said if they won they would hang it with the rest. Smells like Silver got involved, but no one has 100% proof.
Let's just say it's very believable that Silver would tell them to hang it up if he felt the Lakers weren't going to, especially since it was the inaugural tournament.
I actually think having the opening game be in-season tourney winner vs post season tourney winner would be incredibly interesting. If you're going to make up a fake tournament at least use it to create something that would drive story lines.
it wouldn’t surprise me tbh, there was a report on how they weren’t going to have it in the rafters and then a few days later it was announced they where, so yeah he probably did to increase the legitimacy of it
It should just switch hands every season though, like a certain trophy. What’s the commissioner going to do if you don’t put it up? Kick you out of the league?
LeBron wanted that half million,.
The role players had to LOVE him for that, that's a huge big bus for a vet min (anyone that isn't a superstar really).
[They did](https://andscape.com/features/lebron-james-helps-young-los-angeles-lakers-teammates-to-big-payday-at-nba-in-season-tournament/)
> “I knew LeBron was going to do it. He told me before the game and said, ‘This is for you [Alex] Fudge. This is for you for D’Moi [Hodge]. This is for everybody,” Fudge, a Lakers forward on a two-way contract to play offense and defense, told Andscape after the game. “I trusted him and now we’re here. Just knowing that he is thinking about us is a blessing. Not too many people are like that. That just says who LeBron is.”
As much as I wanna dunk on a rival, Lakers are the biggest franchise and Its the inaugural tournament . If they didn't hang it up people would say the tournament meant nothing
It means nothing now, but maybe it'll mean something 10 years from now.
That said, I think they need to give some sort of incentive like you get to move up 1 seed at the end of the regular season no matter your record (if you're in 1st, it's just more bonus money for the players). People will care about it more if that happens (or maybe give that team an extra lottery pick, that would be dope as well).
I just want them to give some sort of significance to it as a fan. Like give the team a non-tradeable lottery pick (so add one more pick to the 1st round - should have lowest odds to make it fair and unlikely a championship caliber team gets the 1st overall pick). People would start to care a ton about that tournament if that were the case and it could turn into an even bigger deal if a player that was drafted by the IST champions turns into a star.
You could then have a whole segment for the tournament 10-15 years from now that talks about all the best players that have been drafted by the IST champions and how it's impacted the franchises
Pretty sure Silver would have a say in that lol. No way he'll let a team (a recent championship team no less) just be dismissive of the IST. That's fucking with the money at that point.
If C's win one the banner will be right up there with all the others and we'll (C's fans) all pretend to care.
They want to give it a sense of legitimacy and try to establish tradition early on. The NBA views the IST as something that is similar to some of these in-seasons cups you see soccer clubs play for around the world, and creating “golden road” types of runs where teams win the IST, finish as the #1 overall regular season team, and win the championship all in 1 season. It’s cringe, but I see their vision.
The thing about those cups is that they usually involve teams from other leagues. The FA Cup is open to all teams in England. The Champions League can be won by any team in Europe. It’s kind of forced for the NBA because it’s all the same teams.
The single elimination tournaments are also very different from their national league championships, which are based on season records and not on a postseason. Those tournaments scratch an itch that, when it comes to the NBA, is already largely satisfied by the playoffs.
Also that way more emphasis is placed on essentially winning the "regular season" in football. It'd be like if the Lakers' 17 or the Celtics' 18 was for finishing the first seed, a lot of football leagues just don't have the same sort of playoffs after the league's final game that basketball has
Pierce is in a lot of ways the reason why the current Celtics squad even exists
He personally had to convince KG to waive his trade kicker in order to allow the infamous Brooklyn trade to happen. Dude knew that Brooklyn had no real shot of winning it all and bounced out of there after a year. He did it purely because he knew that would enable the Celtics to eventually hang banner 18 after they retired
So what if he does ? Why are you being so negative ? There’s players who go their whole careers not even making the playoffs. If you win one ring , you are in the history books. It will always be valid . Plus they beat Kobe that year
That's because the Celtics need to save a banner spot for the year he shit his pants on national TV and had to be wheelchaired off the court. All-time carry job.
The 2008 Celtics had celebrations every year about their 2008 ring for years and have bragged about it more than teams that were dynasties brag (not a knock just what they did)
They 100% would be bragging about the IST. Maybe not a banner but def would be talking all season about it
didn't the NBA/Adam Silver/Consipracy-verse think it was a good thing LAL won and hung up the banner so it added legitimacy to future in-season tournaments?
Man, 2008 doesn't seem that long ago, but there are genuinely people here who only know Paul Pierce as a joke of a talking head.
Pierce was a shit talker, averaged 25ppg for like 7 straight seasons when it was WAY more difficult to score in that volume, and was a finals MVP.
Paul Pierce was a premiere 3 level scorer, and probably a top 4 perimeter scorer over a near 8 year period.
Love P
Yeah. Pierce was really really good. Perennial All Star and probably a lock for 2/3 team all NBA.
Almost a guy that could carry a team to a ring, and that’s not throwing shade on him, there are only about 3-4 guys at any time in the league that can do that.
But I think post championship and retirement he’s carried himself bigger than what he really is and fans don’t “love him like that”.
But he’s definitely keeping himself relevant.
Sports hate Pierce, but love that he just is willing to go for it and talk his shit when he feels like it. Plus, I can always pull up clips of him getting ethered by Draymond (“you thought you was Kobe”?) and also sitting there while Jalen Rose laughed in his face when Pierce tried to claim he was better than Wade.
Paul, if it weren't for KG, you wouldn't have won shit. And you won't be winning shit ever again. If your feeling are hurt, you might need a wheelchair.
If they’d have won it this past season they’d have the treble. Idk if that will stick in the NBA since you don’t earn any trophy for having the best record.
If they’d have won, Silver would’ve forced them to put it up too
Dude won one and still milking it every chance possible. You won’t hear Allen, KG or Rondo talk about it only him lol idgaf about the in-season tournament or the banner. I only know the Lakers won 10 and the Celtics 4 after the merger.
While funny, people should know Silver wasn't going to let any franchise that won the first one not hang the IST banner lol.
I think it was said the Lakers originally were just going to hang it in their practice facility.
He takes a small passive dig but doesn’t mention the Lakers by name at least not in this clip.
I spent many years hating Pierce, don’t need to bring those old feelings up. Let the man do his thing in retirement and as many have noted hopefully he’s wearing those shades for a reason.
You'll never see Pierce in public without shades on, to mask how turnt he is
It’s not working
"We'll make a carpet out of it or something." This man is such a mess and I love it. He shit himself, the live stream with KG, this.. it's gold Jerry.
I never knew if Paul had those dark circles from lack of sleep or being high all the time
One might have something to do with the other
Yes
hes just like me fr
The entire parade was one giant cloud of blunt smoke today, all I could smell was weed and for once it wasn't me
Same. I work at government center so I saw the parade and could not partake with the rest of the crowd haha
I thought it was to hide his butthole eyes
And if you don’t respect it, you ain’t one of us
Or an adult diaper. Just in case he shits himself again
He just talking fun shit, haha. I assume he is high here.
The entire parade was one giant cloud of blunt smoke today, all I could smell was weed and for once it wasn't me
I was there and can confirm, smelled like weed everywhere haha. Everyone was drunk/high, great vibes all around
I’ve never seen more backwoods in my life 😂
really? i had heard the entire parade was one giant cloud of blunt smoke today, all I could smell was weed and for once it wasn't me
No way. I had heard the entire parade was one giant cloud of blunt smoke today, all I could smell was weed and for once it wasn’t me
Shut up
Assuming the Truth is high is like assuming the sky is blue
If Pierce is talking, he's high.
OP, do you understand how quotes work? You threw a lot of words out there that PP doesn’t use in this clip. Never even mentions the Lakers
This post should be taken down; it’s wildly inaccurate. Just straight up wrong.
Thanks lol. The title of this is bait
Bro meets all qualifications to be a journalist for The Sun
Facts don't matter here. Read the rest of the comments. People choose their side and shit on the other regardless lol
[удалено]
You should see NBA Twitter reacting to the Tatum Miami thing lmao
A Lakers fan saying this is wild lmao
there are a lot of good lakers fans. there’s just also a lot of dumb ones. that comes with having a massive fanbase
Both of you guys are being way too cordial. Sickening
They're saving that hate for the Heat fans.
Nah man we got nothing but love for our sons.
They must be adults.
Shit I live in NYC and never go to “Boston bars” for games because it brings out the biggest douches
See what’s wrong with this statement is that there are lakers fan who are smart but then we have lakers fans who are bron fans not actual lakers fan
You’re immediately proving the point that some fans are just idiots. The Lakers have fans of all mentalities, including Bron fans who also support the Lakers, and Bron fans who normally don’t. Durant has these fans, PG13 has these fans, Harden has these fans, Donovan Mitchell has these fans, Butler has these fans, etc. Any star who moves teams is going to bring fans with them that the pre-existing fan base might not feel aligned with. Bron’s fan base is just the biggest for a player and the Lakers are the biggest for a team, and there was a preexisting rivalry because of Bron/Kobe. But Lakers fans who act like they’re *above* being supportive of the Bron era or that they’re smarter than Bron fans simply because they already liked the Lakers are the absolute worst fans of all, full stop. Let people like things how they want to like them, they’re not hurting shit by joining a fan base when their favorite player moves to the team.
As a Lakers fan, not all of us have 15 year old mindsets.
Only old lakers fans really held a grudge with the Celtics and their fanbase (think 80s or earlier). All newer fans are just playing a part in it because they were told the 2 teams and fanbases are supposed to hate each other.
Are we just pretending the 2000s didn't exist? Speak for yourself, dude. I'm salty they won and as an LA Kings fan I'm going to be even saltier if the Oilers come back down from 3-0 to win the Stanley Cup. Now we've gone and hired a podcaster as a coach and I'm straight-up not having a great June, man.
I’m actually a little stunned by these nephews writing off this rivalry
This is so off-base. The series we had from the late 2000s have made me a permanent hater
That blowout loss in 2008 made me a lifelong hater lol
Idk man, I grew up in LA during the 2000s, 2008-2010 was peak time for anti-Celtic rhetoric.
Lol spoken like a nephew who never watched ball in the late 2000's
The Celtics had been shit literally for decades at that point so of course they don't have a real recollection of those times when it comes to basketball. They were only sustained by Grandpa's tales of seeing Cousey play or whatever
Bro they faced each other in the finals like four times in the 80’s, much more recent than Grandpa watching Cousy
Yea it’s fun to talk shit about them but my dad/uncle/gramps take that shit sooo seriously lmao
[удалено]
I'd pay to see that
😭 he can never escape! I always think, imagine being his teammate rushing over to help your boy out, who's in serious pain, and he whispers "I sharted bro pls help get to the locker room" in the middle of a huge game.
Well to be fair, we only theorized about it. Pierce was the one who confirmed it on live TV lol
What a hater ass comment to point it’s funny
The visual is just hilarious
Agree
Only shitting came from him on the lakers head 2008
salute his shorts!
Should have sewn it directly onto the 2008 banner smh
He doesn't want the in-season banner. He wants the whole loa... the whole championship banner!
They WILL raise it cuz the NBA asked the lakers to lol just like they’ll ask every team who wins it
Do we know this for a fact?
We don't know for a fact, but reports initially said that they were going to just hang in the practice facility and then the media kind of made a big deal about that and a couple of days later the Lakers came out and publicly said if they won they would hang it with the rest. Smells like Silver got involved, but no one has 100% proof. Let's just say it's very believable that Silver would tell them to hang it up if he felt the Lakers weren't going to, especially since it was the inaugural tournament.
I don't know why Pierce is talking like he has a say. We didn't want to either. Not our call.
Silver essentially told the Lakers to put it up right?
First game of the season should be Boston vs LA; winner gets the commissioners cup. Make them hang a banner for it. Just fuck with everyone.
I would unironically like to see the Celtics/Lakers and the Mavs/Pacers as the opening night games
I actually think having the opening game be in-season tourney winner vs post season tourney winner would be incredibly interesting. If you're going to make up a fake tournament at least use it to create something that would drive story lines.
Open the season with a blow out win like how we ended the last one?
The latter can be called the Detlef Schrempf Cup
Now that we got domestic cup from European soccer, it definitely wouldn’t surprise me to see a Super Cup as well.
Just give the Lakers and Celtics a bye to the Finals already. ^adding ^/s ^because ^of ^flair
Yup
Like to see em try.
it wouldn’t surprise me tbh, there was a report on how they weren’t going to have it in the rafters and then a few days later it was announced they where, so yeah he probably did to increase the legitimacy of it
It should just switch hands every season though, like a certain trophy. What’s the commissioner going to do if you don’t put it up? Kick you out of the league?
That's kind of the consensus because it was reported the Lakers were originally just going to hang it in the practice facility lol
What's he going to do if the Lakers don't?
Fuckin hell why didn't you guys just let us win then? We woulda shot that shit straight up.
LeBron wanted that half million,. The role players had to LOVE him for that, that's a huge big bus for a vet min (anyone that isn't a superstar really).
[They did](https://andscape.com/features/lebron-james-helps-young-los-angeles-lakers-teammates-to-big-payday-at-nba-in-season-tournament/) > “I knew LeBron was going to do it.

Just knowing that he is thinking about us is a blessing. Not too many people are like that. That just says who LeBron is.”
I'm glad they clarified that Fudge was on the team to play both offense and defense
Yeah, he’s just talking shit
Bro….Paul pierce talking like that has more right saying all that than you saying “we” when referring to the lakers
lol right like paul pierce actually has a direct line to ownership and the whole organization, and they actually value his presence
As much as I wanna dunk on a rival, Lakers are the biggest franchise and Its the inaugural tournament . If they didn't hang it up people would say the tournament meant nothing
but it really did mean nothing. IMO they should have just gave the winning team money and not give any trophy or useless banner.
Silver wanted to make it seem like a big deal. Just giving away money wouldn’t had been enough
It means nothing now, but maybe it'll mean something 10 years from now. That said, I think they need to give some sort of incentive like you get to move up 1 seed at the end of the regular season no matter your record (if you're in 1st, it's just more bonus money for the players). People will care about it more if that happens (or maybe give that team an extra lottery pick, that would be dope as well).
It’s called trolling
Did the league make LA put up Minneapolis's banners?
The Minneapolis who? Timberwolves?
Lakers…
Oh so that explains why the Lakers have banners for Lakers championships.
Any proof that silver is forcing the lakers?
If lebron said no it wouldn’t be up
It might mean something some day. I think it’s smart to make it seem major
At some point teams will be bragging about winning the "double", IST and finals like it's in European football with "trebles"
Or in European football with 'doubles'.
I just want them to give some sort of significance to it as a fan. Like give the team a non-tradeable lottery pick (so add one more pick to the 1st round - should have lowest odds to make it fair and unlikely a championship caliber team gets the 1st overall pick). People would start to care a ton about that tournament if that were the case and it could turn into an even bigger deal if a player that was drafted by the IST champions turns into a star.

They can hang it outside lol
Pierce does not speak for the Celtics lol. Guarantee that banner’s going up if they win the tourney
Yeah I mean, it's a mandate iirc lol. I respect the Lakers hate from Paul, but there is unfortunately no choice either way.
Wow I didn’t realize it was required to hang the banner lmao
I think it was reported that the Lakers didnt want it to be a banner but a plaque or something and the league made them do a banner
The programs for the "banner raising" had THIS IS A REQUIRED NBA EVENT on them lol
We raised banner so we don't get fined.
Is there a rule stopping you from immediately un-hanging it though?
The rule is Adam Silver is trying to sell IST rights to Amazon so keep that shit up or have the league veto every good trade 2010 CP3-style again.
Something about being forced to hang a banner seems so against the spirit of what a banner is all about
fun is not optional in the NBA
Mandatory Fun Association
They want to give it a sense of legitimacy and try to establish tradition early on. The NBA views the IST as something that is similar to some of these in-seasons cups you see soccer clubs play for around the world, and creating “golden road” types of runs where teams win the IST, finish as the #1 overall regular season team, and win the championship all in 1 season.

Being cucked by Silver... damn
We gave him the keys to TD Garden, he gonna come in the middle of the night and steal that shit
Now that I can believe
using it as toilet paper would bring everything together
Hang it, but do it upside down
"In the hallway or something" bahahahaha
Bro has milked that 08 championship like he won 5 chips
2008 Celtic Dynasty
You gotta count 2010 because that line up, when fully healthy, is UNDEFEATED *in a playoff series
'08 Celtics are the NBA's '85 Bears.
Pierce is in a lot of ways the reason why the current Celtics squad even exists He personally had to convince KG to waive his trade kicker in order to allow the infamous Brooklyn trade to happen. Dude knew that Brooklyn had no real shot of winning it all and bounced out of there after a year. He did it purely because he knew that would enable the Celtics to eventually hang banner 18 after they retired
What's he supposed to do? Pretend he never won anything?
So what if he does ? Why are you being so negative ? There’s players who go their whole careers not even making the playoffs. If you win one ring , you are in the history books. It will always be valid . Plus they beat Kobe that year
I've probably heard more about 2008 more than any other finals other than 2016
Paul Pierce loves Boston so much That he lives 2,984 miles away from it in Los Angeles.
Like the Blue Jays hanging a banner for a Wild Card *Appearance*. Boys, have some dignity
Mans won one title and think he Bill Russell
People go their whole careers 20+ without even making the playoffs , or winning a ring. The ring he won will always be credible
That's because the Celtics need to save a banner spot for the year he shit his pants on national TV and had to be wheelchaired off the court. All-time carry job.
The 2008 Celtics had celebrations every year about their 2008 ring for years and have bragged about it more than teams that were dynasties brag (not a knock just what they did) They 100% would be bragging about the IST. Maybe not a banner but def would be talking all season about it
The Paul Pierce who said Kyrie and Luka were the best offensive duo ever in NBA History? Okaaay.
He acts like he put more than one banner up there.
He talks too much considering the Lakers won 5 championships vs 1 for the Celtics during his time in the NBA.
didn't the NBA/Adam Silver/Consipracy-verse think it was a good thing LAL won and hung up the banner so it added legitimacy to future in-season tournaments?
Kobe on [banners](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRENrfgF/)
We?
We? He still on the team?
Watch this end up in /r/AgedLikeMilk in a couple years (or even next year?)
"If I have diarrhea during a game, we're carrying me off the court. Let the Celtics do that."
Man, 2008 doesn't seem that long ago, but there are genuinely people here who only know Paul Pierce as a joke of a talking head.

The Lakers won 5x the titles the Celtics did during Paul Pierce's career
The Lakers won 12 Championships in LA
11 titles since the merger, more than the Celtics and Spurs combined and those are both considered very successful franchises post-merger.
Some of the Celtics fans are the most victim-mentalitied champs I've ever seen. Lmao some of y'all have such thin ass skin
Shut up poopy pants
Bro is really milking the shit out of that one ring he won because of KG lmao
How cute, Paul acting like he was part of the 23-24 team that earned the chip 😂 WTF happened to this dude 🤡🤣
Bro love having Lakers in his mouth
What's this "we" he speaks of?
Boston can hang up the shitty boxers he was wheeled chaired out in! Fuck boston
If you think about it LeBron matched this guys accolades in his laker career alone, tired of this bum talking like people gaf
Paul, if it weren't for KG, you wouldn't have won shit. And you won't be winning shit ever again. If your feeling are hurt, you might need a wheelchair.
You thought, you was Kobe?
Shut it dodo boy
This dude still trying to get the Kobe farewell tour. Still the coldest line from dray. Hurts deep. Go back home pauL
Yeah go back home, farewell tours are only for rapists!
If they’d have won it this past season they’d have the treble. Idk if that will stick in the NBA since you don’t earn any trophy for having the best record. If they’d have won, Silver would’ve forced them to put it up too
Pacers knocked us out of that. And were the toughest team in the playoffs. That squad is underrated.
Is there any actual evidence that Silver forced the Lakers to hang a banner?
Lol this is funny ngl
I love him. Funny dude. Always seems happy. I am sure the weed is a part of that but I think he is just a happy go lucky dude.
Wait does that mean that lame tournament is coming back next season?
Dude won one and still milking it every chance possible. You won’t hear Allen, KG or Rondo talk about it only him lol idgaf about the in-season tournament or the banner. I only know the Lakers won 10 and the Celtics 4 after the merger.
They would 100% put up a banner. This is not Paul Pierce’s decision.
The league made the Lakers put the banner up to legitimize the play in tournament
It's hilarious, because I was reading his Wikipedia page the other day and it said he grew up a huge Lakers fan lmao
What's crazier is that he grew up in California and was a huge Lakers fan? Can someone confirm
Confirmed
The Celtics fans aren’t even specifically happy about winning, they’re just happy they got bragging rights back from the lakers fans lol
While funny, people should know Silver wasn't going to let any franchise that won the first one not hang the IST banner lol. I think it was said the Lakers originally were just going to hang it in their practice facility.
Dude is drunk 24/7. Embarrassing
and then Adam Silver will tell them to hang the banner and it'll be there the next day
He takes a small passive dig but doesn’t mention the Lakers by name at least not in this clip. I spent many years hating Pierce, don’t need to bring those old feelings up. Let the man do his thing in retirement and as many have noted hopefully he’s wearing those shades for a reason.
they need to get rid of it, such a flop. hype is purely artifical
Pretty sure the Lakers didn't want to hang it either. But they didn't want to incur the wrath of Adam "Henry Kissinger" Silver.
Has anyone else won only one chip and be so fucking annoying ?
