Before he was a member of the LA Clippers, Bradley was a Celtic. More importantly, Bradley was a member of the Celtics when their Big Three was still intact. When he was younger, he was constantly mentored by Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce. Though, Pierce made a lasting impression on Bradley, which molded him into the player he is today.

After the Celtics traded Paul Pierce in 2013, Bradley stepped up and became a key contributor for the Celtics. His hounding defense and 3-point shooting catapulted the Celtics right back into the Eastern Conference Finals last season. However, Bradley was soon traded to the Pistons in the off-season, and he was recently traded to the Clippers. Many years after playing with Pierce, Bradley still has fond memories of the Celtic legend. In fact, after watching Pierce's tribute video, Bradley was very emotional, per CLNS Media’s Josue Pavon.

”It’s special, man. I’m gonna be honest — watching it at home almost brought tears to my eyes,” Bradley admitted. “I’m excited for him and his family for his accomplishment and I’m happy for him.”

Now that Pierce has retired from the NBA, Bradley represents a dying breed. Bradley's excellent perimeter defense skills is a necessity that many teams do not have. The Clippers are right now on the threshold to making the playoffs, even after trading Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. If the Clippers are going to make the postseason and potentially make a deep run, Bradley will have to step up and make the plays he did while he was in Boston.
