There's no doubt Paul Pierce's 34 will live in the Garden rafters someday.  But he won't have to wait very long for a jersey retirement ceremony.  Next Tuesday, his old high school is retiring his jersey.

Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics, one of the most beloved sports figures in the history of Inglewood High, is returning next Tuesday to have his uniform retired during a 9 a.m. ceremony in the school auditorium.

Schools officials say the event is not open to the public.

Congrats Truth.
