Paul Pierce was back in Boston on Wednesday, this time as a member of the ESPN NBA Countdown crew working the Celtics-Lakers game.

The newly retired Celtics legend will have his jersey retired later in the year, but the organization gave him a nice tribute in the first quarter of this game to welcome him home.

The @celtics pay tribute to Boston great, Paul Pierce! #Celtics
