Did Pierce flash gang sign?
Paul Pierce had the Hawks and a hand gesture to worry about last night. Pierce was fined $25,000 by the NBA yesterday for making what the league deemed a "menacing gesture" in Saturday night's Game 3 loss to the Hawks. The incident occurred during a timeout with 22.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter as Pierce walked near the Atlanta bench. He made the hand signal before being pulled away by teammate Brian Scalabrine. There was speculation Pierce was making a "blood" gang sign; he did not comment before last night's Game 4. Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge and coach Doc Rivers said the team will address the issue at season's end.

Why would a multi-millonaire be associated with a gang? Would he be trying to fit in with his friends and family back home or just look hard?

Gangs are a bunch of idiots. People making gang signs are like retarded. Kobe did that crap just the pther day and it looked really childish.

I've always thought that Pierce was the weak link in the "big three" because I didn't think he'd handle pressure. Guess we know that's right if he resorts to gang signs after a loss....... and another loss last night as the Celtics take the gas pipe in the 4th quarter. Nice job making the Hawks look good!

There are currently over two dozen NFL player in the league with serious ties to street gangs. There are even cases where they funnel monies to the gangs.
Don't be so naive to think it's only in football.

bball4, what don't you think he did? Rape her, take steroids, lie about everything? The only thing I don't think he did was tell the truth about anything.

no offense Paul.. but if we could just maybe shoot better than 40% from the field and 50% from the line, then maybe this would be a non story...
the blurb above fails to mention that they fined the Hawks player 25k as well.

If this is true, its disgusting and 25k isnt enough.
