A big interview for “Eleftheros Typos” and the journalist Niko Papaioanou granted Paul Pierce. The Celtics’ Ace talked about everyone and everything, but mainly about the possibility of playing someday in Greece…
About Greece: “I feel very comfortable with your country. There are lots of Greeks here in Boston. Same in California, when I grew up. In fact one tutor at our team, Pete (Chrisafidis) is Greek. Because of that and the fact that I love to travel, I wouldn’t reject playing in Greece, after the end of my contract with the Celtics. Finish my carrier there. Get on pension. Or if don’t want me, to go somewhere else in Europe”.
About the last tendency: “They’ve opened for god their wallets in Europe! It’s not only Josh (Childress), but Pargo, Erl Boykins. I’m glad for them, because they had the choice between going to Europe and staying here without a team”.
About the possibility of his transcription: “I’m talking seriously. I’m not one of those that shut doors. If an opportunity comes up I will consider it very carefully. Of course the Celtics will always have the first word, but the choice of Europe, if up to then in continuous existing, I will consider very serious”.
About the championship: “I have the knowledge that not much people believe we can conquer the championship for second adjoining year. We should therefore, same as last year, come out in the court and contradict them. I want us to be the first team, after the one in 1969, that will be crowned champions two possessed times”.
About his co-players: “I appreciate every moment I pass next to Kevin and Rey. The years that pass by don’t come back. I want I be able when I will look back, to know that I took advantage of their presence in every possible way. I try to enjoy every moment with those two. When you communicate with someone you can also have disagreements. All that is expected. It’s creative. We have a common base and the one pushes the other so that we become better. So that we taste once again the joy of a championship”.
