Watch: Pierce recounts tale of KG denying food from team doctor
Having spent nearly two decades in the NBA, Paul Pierce has pretty much seen it all.
And as Pierce recalls, no player was more of a character than Kevin Garnett, who happened to be the protagonist in Pierce's weirdest locker room story.
"It's time to eat once the game is over. We shower then we have like a buffet. I remember we jumped out of the shower, guys got dressed and it was time to eat, and there was like some people who weren't on the team in there, some doctors who we hardly ever see," Pierce recalled.
"We see them making a plate with the players' food, and I just remember going over there, and Kevin Garnett was over there and kinda knocked the plate out of his hand, and said, 'This is the players' food.'
"I don't think I ever saw that doctor again," Pierce said with a chuckle.
