Former Celtics legend Paul Pierce expressed his pride in being despised by Miami Heat fans during a recent appearance on the Dan LeBatard Show. Pierce reminisced about the intense rivalry between the Celtics and Heat during the ‘Big Three’ era, highlighting a game-winning shot he made against the Heat in 2010. Despite the Celtics having one less playoff series victory against the Heat in that three-year period, Pierce boasts a 39-18 career record against the Southeast Division franchise.
