The Top 10 Paul Pierce “Thank You Boston” Instagram Pics That Almost Made Us Cry

The end of Paul Pierce in a Boston Celtics uniform makes a lot of Boston fans sad while Danny Ainge attempts to rebuild a team that can again compete for the NBA Title every season like Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo did from 2008-2012. After Pierce and Garnett were dealt to Brooklyn, many fans didn’t realize that Pierce’s 15-year career in Boston had ended. But Pierce’s #ThankyouBoston Instagram pictures made it all real.

First, Pierce gave his fan’s a head’s up at what was about to happen via Twitter:

I'm going to share some of my favorite Boston memories on my new Instagram account. Follow me @paulpierce and #THANKYOUBOSTON
