The Boston Celtics have one of the most storied traditions in all of professional sports, and few honors capture that pride better than a number retired to the rafters of TD Garden. Each banner up there represents a player who didn't just wear the green and white — they defined what it meant to.
#34 - Paul Pierce (retired 2024) (Hall of Fame)
Paul Pierce gave Boston everything he had for 15 seasons, becoming the heart and soul of a franchise that needed a new hero for a new era. He led the Celtics back to glory with the 2008 NBA Championship, earning Finals MVP honors along the way and cementing his place among the all-time greats to wear Celtic green. When his number 34 was raised to the rafters, it was a deeply deserved tribute to a player who bled for this city night after night.
