In the Boston Herald, Steve Bulpett writes "after finishing their practice yesterday, the Celtics [team stats] got a taste of what the rest of the world considers sporting greatness when Alessandro Del Piero, captain of Juventus and seven-time Italian League champion, stopped by.It was a far better taste of Rome than Glen Davis got the night before, but it nearly turned sour when Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett kicked the ball around with the player described by locals as one of the top two or three in the game. Allen showed some skill with the soccer ball, using his foot and thigh to keep it alive, and Del Piero did even better before passing to Pierce in the fairly tight circle. The captain was a little off balance as he booted the ball hard and caught Garnett in the body."
