    He's been averaging around 1,500 PTS a season since th big 3 era(except for the injury season last year). Let's say he scores 700-800 more points this season + another 4500 in the next 3 seasons. That'll put him only 500-400 points away from the record.

    If Pierce stays healthy, in shape and motivated to play, I can see him breaking the record at age 36-37.

    He'll pass Bird next year as long as he doesn't get injured.

    Upon reading the responses, I guess it's not so crazy after all to assume that Pierce would be a top 5 Celtic.

    The Celtics didn't have a abundance of awesomes scoerers in their history. Bird averaged 24PPG for his career as a Celtic, that's #1. Pierce is #2 at 22PPG.

    don't forget we are talking about this while he is playing. the nostalgia factor will boost up his rating more than anything once he retires.

    Russell
    McHale
    Bird
    Pierce
    Cousy

    Bench
    Cowens
    Heinsohn
    Hondo
    Jones
    DJ
    Garnett
    Jo Jo White
    Move Cowens and Jo Jo White above PP. PP would be behind even DJ if he wasn't saved by KG and Ray Ray.YOu need to add TIny and Parrish to this list also.

    GO Google Dave Cowens and get back with me.

    no way would KG be so high on my list.

    Condescending much? Cowens would probably go ahead of him, as well as McHale. He has a lot of winning and an MVP, but the relative shortness of his career leaves the door open for a debate on the issue.

    Four Automatics:

    Russell
    Bird
    Hondo
    Cousy

    after that it's between Pierce, Heinsohn McHale, Parish, Sam Jones, Bill Sharman, Jo Jo White, Dennis Johnson and KG.

    I can't put Pierce above McHale or Jones.
