Imagine being 18 and suddenly living like a pro athlete—autographs, constant attention, and everyone knowing your name (and your dorm room). Paul Pierce just opened up about how wild and distracting his Kansas days were, sharing how tough it was to stay focused on basketball with all the perks and pressures of campus stardom. He credits his older teammates for helping him keep his head straight, but admits the fame made it a real challenge to balance school, hoops, and, yes, the nonstop social scene. Anyone else think college athletes today face even more distractions? #Sports #Basketball #PaulPierce
