Pelicans' Tony Allen
While his effort deserves a tribute video upon his return to TD Garden, the Celtics decided not to show it on January 3 when these teams faced each other since Thomas was not in the lineup due to his hip injury.
Thomas tweeted that the Celtics offered to show a tribute video for him when he returns to Boston as a member of the Cavaliers on February 11, but suggested the franchise focus exclusively on Pierce's jersey retirement, which will take place that same night.
Since learning of Thomas' request to push back the video tribute, Pierce has been outspoken about his preference not to share his jersey retirement night.

Told that Pierce has spoken out against the idea of a Thomas tribute during his own special night, Allen said, "Yeah, I'm with Pierce, man". Ahead of the Boston Celtics' tilt with the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, Tony Allen and Rajon Rondo, two of Pierces' teammates from their 2007-08 championship-winning team who now play for New Orleans, weighed in on the conflict. That indeed caused a bit of controversy. General manager Danny Ainge announced it would be postponed to their next matchup, which will be the last time the Cavs face the Celtics during the regular season. Anybody disagree? OK. Paul Pierce put in big work, man.
Informed that Thomas' video would just be a short tribute, Allen replied, "Make it real short and sweet, man". "Let my man get his jersey retired, man. Let him embrace that, man". Struggled with the team; I remember losing 19 straight with that man. You know what I mean?
"He picked on me a whole lot, toughened me up, made me get right to it", said Allen. "So that's what I remember, him being a big bully". I might leave the arena, leave practice and go with him and get a Luis Vuitton book bag or something. He was just that type of guy - big hearted. I wanted to be able to play I wanted my family to experience the love and the appreciation that this city and this organization was going to give me on that night. I'm not taking nothing from Paul Pierce.
