"st8 up derogatory" selects 2008 NBA Finals MVP and 2009 All-Star Paul Pierce. Paul and Carmelo represent the thug type attitude this team seeks in players. nothing is more intimidating than playing against a guy who has been stabbed 11 times and flashes gang signs during games. We feel Paul and Carmelo can be the upstoppable one, two scoring punch that drives all NBA champiosnsip teams, slashing through defenses like a knife, gunning down opponents w/ ease. We were reluctant to use up or All-star category so soon, but felt Paul represented tremendous value at this point in the draft.
