Paul Pierce Reveals How Lakers Fans Broke His Heart

The Truth shared during his Hall of Fame induction press conference:

"You know being a kid from Los Angeles. Playing for Boston, yes a rival, but, you know, a kid from LA to get booed? You know, being at home. You know. most places we went to different cities.

But I knew I had to embrace it and I knew what it was, you know. It's because of the jersey I wore maybe. If I had to play for a different franchise, it would have been different. But it really hit me when I played an all-star game in LA and I got booed in LA, and I'm like, �wow, I'm from here, you know?'

That's just pretty much the story of my career. Being an underdog, not really being liked, you know, I guess somebody has to be the villain.»
