Paul Pierce Tebows after dropping 36 points on the Hawks, reminds us that Tebowing is awful (VIDEO)

Earlier on Tuesday, Dan Devine smartly pointed out that Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce was "going have to play at his absolute highest level for the Boston Celtics to avoid a two-game hole," in Tuesday night's Celtics/Atlanta Hawks Game 2, and that "Pierce has to be elite just to make Boston's offense run on time." Well, 36 points and 14 rebounds later, it appears as if Dan was on to something. Pierce was a killer throughout in Boston's Game 2 win, and he decided to celebrate the Boston victory and his own hot touch by … Tebowing?

Seriously, Paul? This is still a thing, to you? This was ever a thing?

We appreciate Pierce's fantastic performance, because the Celtics needed every pull-up bit of it with Rajon Rondo out and Ray Allen out with an ankle injury, but there were so many other cooler things Pierce could have done towards the end of his team's win than, ugh, Tebowing. A list of some of those far, far cooler things follow after the jump.
