In this week’s episode of the Celtics Pride Podcast with Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko, and Mike Minkoff, the crew brings in special guest Rich Jensen, who received rave internal reviews for his CelticsBlog article “Greatness, Glory and The Truth” about Paul Pierce’s legacy in the wake of his recent NBA Hall Of Fame induction. One commenter stated, “this is one of the best articles I’ve ever read on CelticsBlog.”

Go check it out and tune into this podcast, to hear where we think Paul Pierce ranks among his contemporaries of his era like Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Iverson, VC, McGrady, Reggie, and Grant Hill.

Rich Jensen wrote about the difference between generations of Celtics fans. “My dad had grown up with Russell and Cousy, Heinsohn and Havlicek. I grew up with Dee Brown and Reggie Lewis, Rick Fox and Brian Shaw.” Tune in to see where Rich (and his dad) would put Pierce in the rankings of Celtics lore. Like Rich’s dad’s Celtics, this podcast is somewhat slow-paced, but is overflowing with mystique.

Rich continues the conversation by remembering Reggie Lewis, so the Celtics PRIDE team asks Rich where he would rank Lewis - and Jayson Tatum - in comparison to Pierce. This podcast is dedicated to anyone who remembers the 1980’s, and loves Celtics basketball.
