Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker: Playing together, winning apart, Celtics observations
It was the year 1998 when Paul Pierce came into the league and linked up with Antoine Walker to become one of the most promising young duos in the NBA during the lockout year. Both players were 20pointpergame scorers and both players were AllStars. Yet they couldnt punch through in the postseason, which led Danny Ainge to break them apart. About 25 years after they first became teammates, the duo sits down to remember their time together, their breakup when Walker was traded (plus their reunion when Walker returned), watching each other win titles from afar, their observations of this years team, and the parallels between their partnership and that of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. 0:22 Remembering the early years together 3:27 Learning how to win as young players 14:27 Pierce watching Walker win a title from afar, then celebrating with him in Chicago 17:48 Walkers return to the Celtics and the twostar formula 22:53 Parallels between Pierce, Walker and Tatum, Brown 32:4
