In a short YouTube video on the Sprint Channel, Paul Pierce talks about the difficulty of leaving Boston, how he wanted to retire on the parquet floor of TD Garden, then discusses his new home...
"I looked at a team like Brooklyn and said what better place. They got an up-and-coming team, they got a new building, a great owner; and they want to win a championship. We had so many things in common, it's just at this stage of my career, great fit."
Sprint is one of Pierce's sponsors.
