Paul Pierce Got His Pants Pulled Down In A Game? It Really Happened To The Former Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards And Los Angeles Clippers Star

Many years ago, Ron Artest pulled down Paul Pierce's pants during a Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers game in Boston.

On Sunday, a Boston Celtics fan account posted a video from Timeless Sports' Twitter account, sharing an entertaining old video from a game between the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics. 

The video can be seen in a Tweet that is embedded below from the Twitter account of @HonestLarry1.

In the video, Ron Artest (now Metta Sandiford-Artest) is seen guarding Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics. 

Artest pulls down Pierce's pants during the game, and even through the tactic, Pierce comes off of a screen and drills a shot in the face of Artest. 

In 2004, Artest was the Defensive Player of The Year and an NBA All-Star for the Pacers. 

He was one of the best defenders in NBA history, but this tactic did not work on Pierce.
