Boston.com - The Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce, the most valuable player in the 2008 NBA Finals, was handcuffed by Las Vegas police early Sunday after he was initially uncooperative following a traffic stop for driving erratically on the Strip. Bill Cassell, public information officer for the Metropolitan Police Department, said he did not have the details about why Pierce was cuffed but said it often happens when "an individual is loudly hostile." "You have to remember he's a big guy," Cassell said. Pierce, a forward who is 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 235 pounds, "rapidly calmed down," and police removed the handcuffs after about 15 minutes, Cassell said. A Breathalyzer showed Pierce registered below the 0.08 level that defines legal intoxication in Nevada. Pierce did not drive the car after he was stopped.

Paul Pierce is still in fucking Vegas?   Are you shitting me?    If I’m there for more than 48 hours there is a 50/50 chance I end up dead.   Paul has been there for like 2 months now, showing up everywhere from strip clubs to Manny Pacquiao fights.    And apparently he’s still going strong.    Anyway looks like the cops fucked up on this one huh?   They pull over a big black man at 3am for “erratic driving” and he is belligerent enough to get handcuffed, but they don’t even give him a ticket?     Something doesn’t add up here.   He probably didn’t deserve to get pulled over in the first place and once the cops realized he was sober and a World Champion to boot they just tucked tail and got out of there.
