The Truth Teams Up With Doc
Date: 2004-05 season
Paul Pierce wore this jersey during the 2004-05 season, which was first with Doc Rivers as Celtics head coach. Within four seasons, the duo led the Celtics to an NBA World Championship title to break the franchise’s 22-year title drought. “You were a brilliant player, you were a clutch player, Paul,” Rivers said during Pierce’s number retirement ceremony in 2018. “And more important, you know what you are? You’re a Celtic and you’re a champion.”
