Pierce takes parting shot at China-bound Jennings
Truth be told, "The Truth" sure can hold a grudge.
After reports emerged Friday that Brandon Jennings agreed to a one-year deal with a team in China, Paul Pierce was quick to add his two cents.

The two waged a war of Twitter words last season that started with this since-deleted tweet by the outspoken Jennings:

The Boston Celtics legend, who was honored throughout his 19th and final pro campaign in 2016-17, then roasted Jennings' playoff performance, saying he should play on the streets because he wasn't cutting it on the NBA stage.
The 27-year-old point guard is now headed overseas, while the recently retired Pierce is basking in his smug satisfaction.
