Paul Pierce Sends Message To Haters After Being Inducted To The Basketball Hall Of Fame

Paul Pierce has been criticized often ever since retiring from basketball and becoming more active as an outspoken personality on a number of media outlets. The former Boston Celtics star has taken plenty of heat, substantially more than usual in recent years.

On Saturday, Pierce celebrated another career milestone, as he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. As a player who has always paid attention to his critics, the 2008 NBA champion looked at this event as a great way to fire back and lash out the disrespect he has been receiving.

Right after his Hall of Fame induction, Pierce took to twitter and decided to share some photos of himself taken during the ceremony while setting off a caption intentionally made to poke fun at his haters. 

“I’d like to especially thank all my haters for this moment take a bow.”
