Paul Pierce is responsible for one of the more iconic moments in NBA Finals history when it comes to his wheelchair incident. In Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals, Pierce had to be taken off the floor in a wheelchair, seemingly knocking him out for the rest of the game. But Pierce ended up returning and leading the Boston Celtics to victory in the opening game of the series.

There have been several rumors that have popped up as a result of this incident, because many fans are confused by how Pierce went from being unable to walk to perfectly fine in only a few minutes. The primary rumor resulting from this suggests that Pierce simply needed to use the bathroom, but he put that to rest, saying that he suffered a sprained MCL and was actually hurt.
