Paul Pierce and the countdown to Larry Bird
 

Paul Pierce 21,410 career points
Larry Bird 21,791 career points

Barring nay unforseen circumstances, PP should be passing Larry Legend sometime in February for 2nd all-time on the C's scoring list.

One hell of an accomplishment. Let the countdown begin. :cheers:

Hope Pierce gets this before all-star break. It would be nice.

Good job by the spambot bumping this. I didn't realize Pierce passed Bird.

- Pierce needs 3,805 more points to become the number one scorer.

- Pierce has played 245 less games.

- Pierce has played 8,686 less minutes.

If Pierce has an average of 17.2 ppg and 74 games per season, he'll get the record in 3 seasons.

It's probably not going to happen. Not because he isn't capable, but a younger talent is going to supersede Pierce as the main scoring option one of the years as the team retools for contention.

Yes, I can't see Pierce taking it.

Rondo, Bradley, and Green (if we sign him) may be the ones to do most of the scoring. Pierce can certainly get his, but I don't see him averaging over 17 PPG.
