Pierce is among the most accomplished Celtics.

He holds the team record for 3-pointers with 1,823, nearly 900 more than Antoine Walker in second. He played the third-most games in a Celtics uniform, behind John Havlicek and Robert Parish. And he is second in points behind Havlicek.

Here’s a look at Pierce’s numbers with the Celtics and how they rank among the team’s all-time greats.

Pierce played 15 seasons in Boston before being traded to the Nets along with Garnett in June 2013 as part of a franchise rebuild. He spent one season in Brooklyn, starting 68 games, and then signed a two-year deal to join the Wizards. After opting out for the second year, he finished his career with the Clippers. In 2017, he signed a one-day contract with the Celtics and retired in green.

Pierce was drafted 10th overall by the Celtics in 1998 after spending three seasons at Kansas (he’s still the program’s 10th-leading scorer).

He was named to 10 All-Star teams — all with the Celtics — and named All-NBA four times.

Here’s a look at his career with the Celtics, with his career bests highlighted.

Pierce and the Celtics muddled through three losing seasons before making the playoffs during the 2001-02 season.

They made the playoffs each of the next three years, before suffering two losing seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

In the summer of 2007, the Celtics traded for Garnett and Allen. The Big Three led Boston right to an NBA title — its first since 1986 — and Pierce was named Finals MVP.

The Celtics would return to the NBA Finals two seasons later, losing in seven games to Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
