NBA legend and Basketball Hall of Famer Paul Pierce was named to the NBA's 75 all-time greatest players list. 

The complete list can be seen in a tweet that is embedded below from NBA Communications. 

After receiving the news that he made the list, Pierce sent out a tweet. 

Pierce's tweet said: "Wow !!!!what an Honor Where my Haters at let’s celebrate." 

The 2008 NBA Champion has played for the Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Clippers. 

He played 19 years in the NBA and 1,343 regular season games. 

The former Kansas Jayhawks star was a ten-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA player and was the MVP of the 2008 NBA Finals. 

He has career averages of 19.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. 

While it was strange to see Pierce get traded to the Nets in 2013 and not be in a Celtics uniform at the end of his career, he still helped the Nets, Wizards and Clippers have solid playoff runs.
