850 talk about Pierce's 'gang' sign (youtube link)
Posted: Fri May 2, 2008 2:18 pm
Some new info:
An expert on gang violence, was quoted from an interview expressing that all the NBA did was stir up unnecessary controversy.
The sign was supposedly a piru bloods sign. This group resides in Pierce's home town of Englewood.
piru stands for - pimps in red uniforms.
The reason the NBA reacted was they saw hundreds of people on message boards, gang members, that it was a sign to them. So the signal even if not meant to be a gang sign was received by many.
In fact, apparently there is a youtube clip, that generated over 100,000 viewers.

220,000 Correct thats two freaking hundred thousand.
Now a far fetched theory, is that when Pierce got stabbed, earlier in his career, who is to say that it wasn't related to some punks in a gang.
This may all be over blown, but i thought i would share, cause i found it interesting.
