Paul Pierce once paid Celtics rookies $500 each to act as his personal security at a nightclub—talk about a unique NBA initiation! Tony Allen shared how he and fellow rookies thought they were just out for a fun night, only to end up forming a human wall around Pierce all evening. Despite the unusual request, Allen said the vets always looked out for the young guys, making sure they were fed and dressed right. It’s a reminder that NBA “rookie duties” can be wild, but they’re also about building trust and brotherhood. What’s the most memorable initiation you’ve heard of? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics
