Paul Pierce

Paul Pierce, aka "The Truth," finished his playing career in 2017 with 10 All-Star appearances, four All-NBA selections, and a Championship with a Finals MVP with the Celtics in 2008.

The age of 46 looks good for the legend who played 15 seasons for the green team. He also had stints with the Nets, Wizards and Clippers. He was known for hitting clutch shots, and the countless trash talk on the court. He holds career averages of 19.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals on 45% shooting, 37% from three, and 81% from the foul line.

Pierce would immediately be the biggest star the Big3 arguably ever had on and off the court. His role at Fox Sports on the popular show, "Undisputed," would be a great way to drum up promotion for the league.

I can see him leading the race for best trash-talker in the league and potentially being one of the most well-rounded players they have ever seen. He can still score at all three levels and may get a chance to dabble as a coach in the league as well. Pierce had an interest in joining the league in 2017.
