"{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;NBA superstar &lt;strong&gt;Paul Pierce&lt;/strong&gt; tells TMZ ... just because he left Boston doesn't mean his career's over -- he wants to play another TEN YEARS in the league!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35-year-old Pierce was leaving a grocery store in L.A. with a bunch of water (it's important to hydrate) when we asked how he felt about being traded from the Celtics to the &lt;strong&gt;Brooklyn Nets&lt;/strong&gt; this late in his prolific career. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul's reaction was CLASSIC -- \"Who says it's the end of my career? I plan on playing ten more years dude.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're not saying it's an impossible goal ... but it's gonna be pretty tough -- considering no one in the modern NBA era has played until the age of 45 (&lt;strong&gt;Dikembe Mutombo&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&lt;/strong&gt; played until they were 42 and &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Willis&lt;/strong&gt; was 44). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think he's got a chance?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
