Paul Pierce trolled Kobe Bryant HARD at Clippers Media Day

It's day 1 and former Celtics captain Paul Pierce is already delivering some A1 trash talk to his rival across the Staples Center hall in the Los Angeles Lakers. More specifically Kobe Bryant.

"That will be tough on some guys in L.A. to take on that (reduced) role *cough* Kobe *cough* I mean, you know, we get older." —Paul Pierce

Pierce, the wily old vet for the Clippers, still hasn't lost his fastball in the trolling department. He is picking right up with his "I call game" ways and seems primed to help the Clippers reach and ultimately win the NBA Finals.

If that happens, though, it will be the end of The Truth's basketball life.

Paul Pierce: "This year, If we win a championship...I'll probably be done with basketball."

Even though he is wearing a different jersey, enjoy Paul Pierce while you still can. He's a speical talent.

Not that I need to tell you.
