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 π₯π₯
-
LeBron and Pierce matchups were legendary!
-
I really fucking loved this interview. Changed my view of Paul Pierce with everything heβs gone through in his life
-
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.

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

Solid interview. Respect to both.
-
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
-
No lie this is drays best interview
-
This is going to be fucking incredible. The Truth is in the building!

PAUL PIERCE THE MOST UNDERRATED MAN. THE FUCKN TRUTH!!!!
