Why spotlight Paul Pierce and the stabbing incident?

As a fan of Pierce for many years, I often wondered where he toughness and perseverance came from. On the court he had no issue willing his team to victory or taking the final shot. Many stars (ie Lebron James) fail when it’s crunch time or shy away from the big moments. The stabbing incident that Paul endured is the reason he can deal with the pressure. His story also can act as a lesson to everyone when it comes to staying safe. Always be careful and cautious when it comes to festivities. Not everything is worth attending.
