For some reason unbeknown to me, Ryan Desmarais of Slam Online decided to write yet another column on Paul Pierce and the night he was nearly stabbed to death.
No offense Ryan, but this is a tired old storyline with little significance in 2009. Yes, this week marks the 9-year anniversary of the stabbing, but the "Pierce overcame the odds" story was relevant in 2008 when he and the Celtics finally reached the top of the mountain.
I understand we're all searching desperately for new and original ideas for our columns/blogs, but Paul Pierce has moved on and the rest of us should to.
