Paul Pierce Reveals Who Was Most Surprised By His Retirement Announcement

It wasn’t a big surprise to knowledgeable NBA people when Paul Pierce recently announced his impending retirement.

The Los Angeles Clippers forward had lost a few steps before he was traded away from the Boston Celtics three years ago, and he hasn’t really found them along the way in his three stops since with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Clippers.

The 38-year-old revealed that someone close to him actually was surprised — not about his retirement at the end of this season, but rather that he’s coming back for one more season in the first place.

Find out who in the video below.
