Quote Correction

I believe the direct quote from where Paul Pierce's nickname "The Truth" came from was, "My name is Shaquille O'Neal, and Paul Pierce is the mother fucking truth..." While this may go against Wikipedia's content standards, it is the direct quote, and if the curse word is not added, please note that the quote is abridged from the original version. Thank you.

Edit request 25 December 2010

He recorded his seventh triple-double on 22-Dec against the Indiana Pacers. The article only refers to six triple-doubles.

Paul Piece is currently the sixth (6th) ranked 3pt shooter. The summary ranks him as 4th behind Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and Jason Terry. But that now includes Kyle Korver (4th) and Jamal Crawford (5th) before Pierce.
