Paul Pierce on beef with Dray, LeBron's greatness, Celtics Big 3 stories | Draymond Green Show

got stabbed 11 times and still played 82 games. and we talking about load managing in this day and age

Pierce is the most underrated player of his era because people think his career started with the Big 3. Bro was drafted in 98'.

They gotta put some respect on Pierce. He was 25 ppg in an era when only a few was at that level. CONSISTENTLY 🔥🔥

No Pierce was never on the talent level of Kobe but as a Celtics fan, people outside of Boston don't understand that for a long stretch of time that spanned over a decade, Pierce was OUR Kobe. Pierce was always a player that when you needed a clutch shot or a game winner, it felt like he would always come through. He was the best small forward in the NBA until a few years into LeBron and Melo's career. Always will be a Celtics legend. Salute to the Truth and this was a solid interview.

LeBron and Pierce matchups were legendary!

Everyone is tuning in for that ONE topic😂😂

I really fucking loved this interview. Changed my view of Paul Pierce with everything he’s gone through in his life

As a Celtic fan, there will never be another PP and that's the truth! They should make a biopic on this man!

Paul Pierce is one of those rare NBA veterans whose doing well and it is good to see a Black Man in older age doing well

Paul got the Finals MVP trophy in the frame. Oh yeah baby, my favorite player. ROCK CHALK.

W Paul Pierce the legend man. Idc he’s an all time great!

Didn't know that Paul didn't hear draymond ...that just made the story even more funny 😂

Tatum is more talented, but he'll never have the heart and/or balls that Pierce had. Getting pantsed by Artest and putting a side-step 3 in his eye is an underrated legendary highlight. Dude was cold blooded

Solid interview. Respect to both.

The ad placement right before Pierce tells his side of the story 😂😂😂

This is going to be fucking incredible. The Truth is in the building!

If the youth don’t know PP was a bad boy! Real nigga fasho! And I’m a Bron fan😂🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽

No lie this is drays best interview

Man getting stabbed 11 times ain't no joke. It takes some metal to power through all that go on win a ring. Hell fucking yeah this man's the TRUTH! 34
