i mean i cant even name pierces top 5 teammates before the big 3 so he has a point
Neither Heat Shaq was Lakers Shaq nor Heatles Wade was 2006-09 Wade. Pierce was great but now he’s such a bum.
Top-5 clutch player of all-time
Lol.
Only thing pierce has on wade is distance on his jumper. Had wade been able to shoot even about 33% on threes he would have been a much higher ranked player.
Files this under things only Paul Pierce believes
Paul Pierce wishes he was Dwayne Wade, GTFOH
When was Pierce ever considered even a top 3 nba player?
There is a huge difference between being really good and being all-time great

I’m not saying he’s better than Wade, because he’s not but cmon guys.
You’re saying if LeBron and Bosh joined him all in their primes, he wouldn’t have more chips?
Damn no shout out to rondo
He had KG ray allen and rando with a great bench for more then 4 years, it wasn’t late in his career since he retired in 2016, and they formed around 2007.
THEY ONLY won 1 CHIP
Pierce and 06 Shaq don’t win shit lmao
I can’t explain it but watching Pierce majority of his career, he was always way better than his stats imo. He didn’t get nervous or was afraid of competition.
It’s kind of sad that these guys have nothing better to do than have these “who’s better than whom” conversations.
We don’t love you like that. It is what it is.
I can’t say hes wrong to think that way. Him with Lebron and Bosh would win at least one ring.
Didn’t Jalen Rose shit on this take live on ESPN?
the truth
Whats going on Paul? Hating on Miami, hating on Wade like he can compare. Doesn’t he have to go and find some pants poop in?
All I’m confident about is Paul has seen more escorts than D-Wade.
As in the same Shaq who averaged 14 ppg in the 06 Finals?
I agree with him, I agree with everything he said.
Put the henny down Paul you didn’t even play the same position…
Who the fuck listens to all of these bullshit player podcasts?
Bro it was old Shaq right before he fell off. Dwyane Wade was insane that first ring
I feel legitimately less intelligent after having watched this
NBA subreddit underrates Paul Pierce so hard lmao
This man gassed up his only ring for one season more that I see Wade talk about his three rings
Truth.
I don’t think anything he says here is false necessarily
Shut up Paul, you got gifted a chip after your team being labeled the defensive reincarnation of 5 Bill Russels on roids. Or maybe it was revenge for that Kings series. Either way stfu and enjoy your manufactured 1 chip.
​
Without KG everyone would have hated this guy.
Why did camron say pause on “amazing skillset”. Definition of homophobia lol constantly afraid to SOUND gay
He ain’t entirely wrong.
“HE ONLY HAS 1 CHIP WITH KG AND RAY”
Yeah cause KG got fucking injured in year 2 so they couldn’t even defend their title and to the fact all were in their 30’s and past their prime after the first 2 seasons together. But this doesn’t surprise me that people view this way about the Celtics big 3 and not realizing they came together at an older age and dealt with injury. Half of r/nba probably started watching basketball 10 years or less.
Wade literally had Shaq in year 2 and then prime Lebron and prime Bosh for a good stretch.
So yeah, this isn’t a false statement that Pierce could’ve potentially won 3 championships too.
But Wade at his best and prime albeit shorter, was a better player than Pierce and Pierce is my favorite player ever.
Serious question. Why is wade considered that much better than pierce?
Paul “🤡” Pierce
Out of his ever loving mind
PPs a downright loudmouth bitch trying to stay relevant. Made a fool of himself on that livestream when he was hammered. You could tell KG was even getting embarrassed for him.. KG, someone gotta get that man on TV love hearing him talk ball
I know someone will pull some different era stats, but Pierce was really fucking good.
putting this to bed real quick
Wade vs Pierce (playoffs) Games with:
30-39 pts: Wade 27 times vs 13
10-14 asts: Wade 12 times vs 2
3-4 stls: Wade 30 times vs 16
1-2 blks: Wade 97 times vs 67
5 fouls: Wade 16 times vs 32
FG%: Wade .474 vs .423
Wade only 7 more games. Stop the cap with wades teammates Wade was a phenomenal player in his own right and consensus top 25 all time. Pierce needs to stop comparing himself to players outside his own tier
This dude is constantly talking about Wade. However, Wade doesn’t even remember this guy exists. Hilarious
Paul Pierce has regressed back to 2018, someone needs bring him back to reality again
Waiting for Paul to ask who is a better defender. Also waiting for him to ask who is a better passer. Come on Paul.
Pierce was good. Wade was better. End of conversation.
Didn’t this dude have KG and Allen? Wah wah
where’s the lie?
This take is like his wheel chair incident. 💩
Nope… Wade was better, no question. Pierce was really, really good…Wade was just better.
I mean yeah i think Paul+LBJ+Bosh could win at least one title. But if we’re trying to compare Pierce to Wade wouldn’t the question be more like: could Pierce+LBJ+Bosh beat Wade+LBJ+Bosh? Personally I don’t think so but there’s definitely room for debate.
I mean, you put me on a team with LeBron and Bosh and I have a chance, too.
Paul Pierce played with Shaq in 2010-2011 and didn’t win it all. Checkmate
