Transcript

00:00Well, Paul Pierce was on Julian Edelman's podcast.

00:04Was it Names with Games?

00:06Games with Names?

00:06Yes.

00:07Games with Names.

00:08And they talked about how Boston, or what makes Boston, the best sports city.

00:13Here was Pierce and Edelman.

00:15I think just Boston sports is like a brotherhood when you think about it.

00:18Because it's like every franchise out there is legendary.

00:21Yeah.

00:22You know what I'm saying?

00:23I tell people that Boston is the best sports town in all of America.

00:27Not even close.

00:27It's not even close.

00:28It's not in the span that we got to play in.

00:30Yeah.

00:30That era, like everybody won a championship in that decade.

00:34You know what I'm saying?

00:35So it's different.

00:36Yeah.

00:37You know what I'm saying?

00:37You understand it.

00:38I understand it.

00:39You lived it.

00:40You was out there.

00:40I tried to explain to people that it was almost like a competition with the other sport teams

00:45too, because everyone was winning so much.

00:48You see the Red Sox won something.

00:50You're like, oh man, well, we got to go get something.

00:51The Celtics win something.

00:53And you're like, oh, and then the Bruins go out and win.

00:55And then we would go.

00:56You know what I mean?

00:57That is a 20-year gap that is going to be remembered forever.

01:04The good old days.

01:05We were so lucky.

01:06Remember those?

01:07Yep.

01:07There's nobody in my lifetime that is like Pierce in that he weathered so many storms, personally,

01:16off the court, getting stabbed, nearly dying.

01:19But on the court, you know, dealing with the roster turnover and all the years of mediocrity,

01:25getting to one conference final.

01:26Dude was able to get out of a wheelchair and keep playing.

01:31I mean, he could have asked for a trade.

01:33He would have been moved.

01:33The most famous bubble guts ever, you think?

01:35Maybe.

01:36It's just, he is just, everything about him embodies, like, if you stay here and you persevere

01:42and you win, you are a legend for life.

01:44What is currently the best sports city in the country?

01:47It pains me to suggest it might be Philadelphia.

01:51I don't know.

01:51The Sixers really suck.

01:53Yeah.

01:54Yeah.

01:55Phillies, they got half of it.

01:57Let's see.

01:58I mean, who else would you?

02:00LA?

02:00No.

02:01Not really.

02:02LA is not a sports town.

02:03You got the Dodgers, but.

02:05I mean, Florida with hockey and when they had the Bucs going, that was a good run for them.

02:13That was not a run.

02:14Well.

02:14I mean.

02:15That was Tom.

02:16I mean, he gets to a place and they win.

02:18I mean.

02:18And the Heat were kind of good during that.

02:20I don't, I mean.

02:21Well, to be fair, the Bucs will still be a playoff team again this year.

02:24Yeah.

02:25I mean, so you have Kansas City, but they only have the Chiefs.

02:27I'm going over the titles.

02:28Yeah.

02:29No.

02:29Royals suck.

02:30Yeah.

02:31Who is, so basketball was the Oklahoma City.

02:35That's not a sports town.

02:36No.

02:37Baseball was the Dodgers.

02:38I think maybe right now it's Philadelphia.

02:41Is Detroit making a push with the Tigers being so good, the Lions being so lovable?
