I love it ! Sports Fever like the swine flu here in Boston and through out Amer­ica. Here is my take on this, i co sign that state­ment by the cap­tain inshal­lah (god-willing) the C’s remain healthy, guar­an­tee 18 for the Bean. This would be HUGE for the City and fans as well the play­ers and organization. 

Paul was asked about how the Boston Celtics’ sea­son will play out next year, and Pierce said he expects to win a title. But, only on one condition.

“Before the sea­son even started last year, I was asked, ‘What is going to stop y’all from win­ning it all?’ ” Pierce said in a phone inter­view on Thurs­day. “The first thing I said was, ‘If we’re healthy, we’re going to win it all.’ And I’m going to say it again: ‘If we are healthy, we are going to win it all.’

“I hon­estly believe that. I think we’re the best team in the NBA, healthy.”

Pierce was speak­ing from New York where he was pro­mot­ing the launch of his new “The Truth on Health” youth ini­tia­tive. The pro­gram includes a web-based club, FitClub34, that pro­vides chil­dren with resources to become more active.

The Truth Fund was founded in May of 2002 by Boston Celtics Co-Captain, Paul Pierce, as a means to stream­line his char­i­ta­ble efforts and con­nect with dis­ad­van­taged chil­dren in the Greater Boston area and his home­town of Ingle­wood, CA. The mis­sion of The Truth Fund is to pro­vide edu­ca­tional and life-enriching oppor­tu­ni­ties for under­priv­i­leged youth by offer­ing resources and pro­grams that fos­ter safe and sta­ble environments.

The Truth Fund is a result of Paul’s com­mu­nity activism and a col­lab­o­ra­tion of the fol­low­ing out­reach ini­tia­tives: Project Hope, Read to Achieve, Pierce’s Play­ground, Fam­ily Fun Day, Paul Pierce Turkey Give­away, and the Paul Pierce Celebrity Soft­ball Challenge.

As a result of his com­mit­ment off the court, Paul received the 2002 NBA “Home Team Com­mu­nity Ser­vice Award” which included a $50,000 grant to donate to the char­ity of his choice. Paul selected Project Hope, an orga­ni­za­tion that is ded­i­cated to devel­op­ing and pro­vid­ing effec­tive fam­ily sup­port solu­tions. He was able to refur­bish their children’s cen­ter and play­ground with equip­ment, books and com­puter pro­grams to pro­mote lit­er­acy and read­ing readiness.
