Young ninjas under 30 don't remember the flash prior to Bron run. 3rd best SG of all time
Flash was a beast.. but remember Shaq also nicknamed Paul the truth after he went against him and Kobe
You mean 4th... He's not better than Vince-
@yungjay216 so if they don't remember flash prior to bron they definitely don't know Truths game
@@Abyfresh523gmaillmaoooooo
lol, if they dont remember Wade, they certainly have no idea who Paul Pierce is.
Paul Pierce is my favorite player all time ….I watched his whole career…he played for a bad Boston team for a long time and still got his numbers,the moment he got help he won a ring and was a finals mvp and had to beat Lebron and Kobe in the process.
Me too bro I'm from Boston people don't understand how great he was they just laugh people actually think Jayson Tatum is better than Paul Pierce and it's not even close people just stare at stats and don't use their fucking eyeballs
Agreed bruh. Double P is my favorite player too!
Thank you, it sickens me when they act like Truth not on the levels of other elite superstars, he didn’t play the game for stats he played to win with not having a lot of help most his career. When he finally got it you see the results. Give him Shaq, Tim Duncan and see how many rings he woulda got
@@officialbigfuture8953 yep it's pretty ridiculous just like Pierce said if he had won too lol ... But this whole narrative about Jason kidding being light-years better than Paul Pierce's absolutely hilarious only a millennial could say that dumb shit or someone that really doesn't understand basketball... Use your fucking eyes Tatum's not even a great dribbler how many times does he lose the dribble when they actually try to play defense... And he cannot score at The rim he's actually improved this year at it but look at his last five years it's atrocious he misses the the basket on a layup half the fucking time in the past ..m Paul Pierce's top notch at four score fourth-quarter scoring getting to the three throw line using his body Tatum's more athletic and taller what's his excuse... Especially now everyone raves about how much muscle he's put on I guess it's for the fucking beach cuz he sure is fuck doesn't know how to use it when he goes to the basket lol
Can't too many say they beat Bron AND Kobe in the same year on the way to a Title
D-Wade & Paul Pierce were both great.
Prime Pierce was 25ppg 44%fg 7rpg 4apg. Elite 3 level scorer. He took a team to the ECF without KG & Ray Allen.
Prime D-Wade was 27ppg 49%fg 7apg 5apg. Elite 2 way player. He was finishing top 3-5 in both MVP & DPOY without Shaq & LeBron.
Two different but both great players individually. Then when they had a great team around them, they both won it all with both having a finals MVP.
Who’s better? It’s your preference.
It’s not a preference at all. The guy who peaked higher is the better talent. It’s just that simple
@@TheIcemanthomas yeah, I feel it. Wade’s peak crazy.
@@TheIcemanthomaslol they tripping
Another thing I think that plays a role is the overall talent at your position. Sf might be the most talented position in the history of the NBA. So when we rank Paul just think of the monsters we are ranking him against. KD, bron, bird, Julius Erving, Scottie Pippen
@@TheIcemanthomasit is preference. Paul always had to share shots with another jack aka the nut you see in this video 😭😭😭
Anyone who actually watched them play knows Paul and Twan were NUTS and that’s why they didn’t win much.
Paul got stabbed went through depression and trauma while being in Boston. Wade got the good old Miami Heat Pat Reilly experience…..
Wades Athleticism Carried him up maybe above Paul but if we are talking Skill Paul CLEARS and it’s not close. Wade got brought into the game the right way….. Paul was a low basketball iq nut that only figured it out at the end.
My opinion is that D Wade is one of the top 5 SG's of all-time....But I feel Paul Pierce has become criminally underrated as a player overall.
I watched the celtics in 02 paul took a trash team almost to the finals. Look at that team. Him and Toine. Paul was unstoppable
Top 3 ‼️😬
Ima Knick fan and a Kobe fan I seen the truth go to work! He’s underrated!!! He went up against bron and Kobe
Bro idk why. If you a hooper you know and see his game is one of them ones.
Preaach
And won against both
Underrated how? He a legend & probly top 10 SF all time, not 5, unless you wanna go by rings but still off the top of my in no order but all of these guys better then Pierce: Bird, KD, Kawhi, LeBron, Pierce would be top 5 if we doing this(If I'm not forgetting anybody or some) Wade Top 3, so since when Top 3 isn't better then top 5? 🤷🏿♂️
@@sigmams8895 so Wade ain't win against both? Including Pierce too? Lol
Don't get me wrong, Paul was the truth for a reason, but D Wade was phenomenal. Gotta go with Wade on this.
💯
It seems like players feel Paul is better than fans think.
@@fmsstudio6316 this is exactly it because Paul Pierce was better as a basketball player, but with all the accolades and everything Wade had a better career
@@chalupakingsama how aside from he can shoot better than Wade? Wade got better handles. Footwork. Athleticism. Finishing around the rim. Playmaking. Defending. Blocking. Stealing. If you want to talk about scoring, Wade has higher PPG on better FG% and got a scoring title over Kobe Bron and Melo in their primes while Paul has 0. Paul's highest scoring season was 26 ppg to Wade's 30 ppg. Wade also has all defensive team selections to Paul's 0. Multiple first team all nba selections to Paul's 0. Explain how's Paul the better "basketball player" when all he's better at is shooting 3's?
What I’m really sick of is the 2000s babies acting like it’s not even close. They aint see prime Paul. They both won a chip as FMVP. Dwade had bron so he won more, thats it.
Whoa whoa now big fella 😂 Paul helped crest the modern BIG 3 so Bron ain’t an excuse here
😂😂😂 they both won the chip wit Ray Allen 😂
@@bigjay258yeah but even with that big 3 in Boston Paul was the main guy in crunch time and so was D Wade in 06 with Shaq
Now I agree but you do know Wade win a ring before Bron got there right. Paul had KD and Ray to get a ring but yeah these 2000s babies don’t know what Paul Pierce was back then. He had to go thru a lot and was a monster 💪🏽💪🏽
@@frankhortoniv3739 yeah we agree I think paul was better offensively and wade better defensively for me its a tie tbh 💯
Wade is the reason it's an acrobat badge on 2k lol
Maybe Iverson
All the smoke guys are great, and this was a great interview. Twan gave the perfect breakdown. Paul pierce needs more respect. A top 15 player in his era
Like Paul said “give me Shaq when I was 25”
“Give me Kobe when was killing the league”
People are slaves to narrative because for whatever reason it’s the toughest thing to be an independent thinker.
Pierce and Wade are actually so close it’s kind of crazy if you go skill for skill. The biggest difference is the athleticism but Pierce was a better outside shooter. Wade moved his feet a little better on D and got into the gaps but Pierce was a bully and played a little dirty to stop guys.
It’s ironic because at one point when I was a child these were two of my top 3 favorite players the list has grown since same guy at the top tho. Objectively I can’t even really pick but I got to go with Paul because of everything off the court 🤷♂️
LMAO what picking a guy cause of everything off the court is some of the most ridiculous stupid shit I ever heard. Other then shooting what did Pierce do better? Nothing, everything else goes to Wade. Won a chip before him & he needed a super team with Rondo, Allen & KG. Wade got 3 rings to his one, not to mention in his later years Pierce was trash. Wade wasn't.
Tell me what aspect of basketball is Pierce better than Wade at aside from jumpshooting and rebounding (given he's a much bigger player lol). I'll wait for your answer
Saw pp went toe to toe with prime bron and went even . He was older but it was an even battle for a couple years . Great player
Paul wanted to battle Bron, Wade wanted to catch passes from him, I think that's the whole discussion, right there.
He gave LeBron buckets
@@Mitch_Feralthat doesnt make one better than the other… just two different mentalities nun wrong with wanting to play w the best nun wrong w wanting to beat the best..
@@Mitch_Feralhuh some of the best games wade ever had was against LeBron James what are you talking about? Lol they literally put on shows when they played against each
@@98slime86 I dont agree with that at all. Wanting to team up with Lebron both means letting Lebron win you games, and ensuring you dont have to play against Lebron - it's the easiest road possible.
He play with Paul in his prime! Remember
He won a ring with Wade in 2006 when he averaged like 34 ppg lol.
@@HEAToftheMomentPod my comment wasn’t that he didn’t play with wade in his prime I said he play with Paul in his prime which means he seen a different version then what we all know him for . And for your comment Paul is way better than wade . Wade just got athleticism over him but overall for a complete basketball player I’m taking Paul
Paul Piece was more skilled. I’ll give you that.
@@HEAToftheMomentPodpierce won 2 years later lmao beating Kobe u make it seems like Paul won so much more later
It's hard to pick because both of them were exceptional players.
I got the Truth. The eyes fall in love with D wades athletic game but Pierce was a killa
@@celebneilz1023so was wade. That’s not a difference maker.
Wade was even more of a exceptional player
It's not hard....Dwade! But Paul Pierce was tuff
paul p in the halfcourt >>>
Nah
Paul was better but he didn’t use his ball IQ until he was almost done. I don’t know if the people picking Paul actually watches his prime but I can tell the people picking Wade 100% didn’t. Paul and Twan were both party animal bad shot chucking nuts on the court but that’s why people loved them 😭
@@jamesonedwardsii4943 watched both, your bugging or a simp if you got Pierce over Wade
They were both clutch as hell
Wade lead the league in scoring 30 plus Paul never avg more then 26 ppg how he a better scorer?
Free Throws goofy 🤦🏾♂️
Paul averaged 27 with Raef Lafrentz and Delonte West as his most consistent number 2 options. Olowokandi got minutes on that Celtics team. Pierce was a consistent 4 level threat - Wade was only consistent from 2.
Wade never shot the 3 ball well. So if u ever down 3 points in a game u can’t really go to Wade. Paul can shoot it from all 3 levels
Idc how u score if he’s a 3 level scorer it should be done on the biggest stage win or lose wade has a finals where he avg 35 and 40 ppg for 4 straight games….a bucket is a bucket wats Paul career high in the finals ? it’s no comparison the truth is a legend but it’s levels
@@drexjones9891 Wade was parading to the free throw line he had game 25 free throw attempts lol he was a bucket at the free throw line. Paul Pierce was the best player in 2008 team than won the chip and won finals mvp and Pierce scored 40 in the finals btw
Paul Pierce UNDERRATED 💪🍀💪
Both all time greats but I think this generation forget how great Wade was. Top 3 SG of all time
If Shaq had gone to Boston in 04? 27 yr old Truth and Diesel? Woo, my goodness.
Woo no rings
I'm from Chicago and a huge Bulls fan, but i never went to a Bulls game vs Miami and D Wade is from my city, but i did on multiple occasions go see Bulls vs Boston i was a huge fan of "The Truth"
Paul and Wade could both score and that’s no lie. Dwade game was more flashy and flamboyant on both side of the floor 😂 I love and respect Pierce game, but I go with Wade on this one because I modeled my game after his 🤷🏾♂️
Should probably model your game after pierce if you want to play longer. Idk how this man got that slow as pull up free throw like jumper off so many times but hey it works
This is a easy one. I’ll put it like this, very simple. D wade could do everything Paul could do on the floor, but Paul can’t do what Wade does (ie. Posterizing,Defense,Transition Offense,Elite passing, etc). From 2006 to 2011 Wade was top 5 in the league. Paul has never been a top 5 player in any season he played. It’s that simple I can’t believe we’re even having this debate. Wade gets a lot of flack nowadays with his questionable lifestyle off the court, so I guess it’s “cool” to hate on him now. But at the end of the day we all know who was better.
Dwade couldn’t shoot like Paul tho, he was the better offensive player no matter how much dwade could dunk on u hit a acrobatic layup Paul was still better on offense
@@Rswishhh How is someone better on Offense just because they can shoot better? Offense isn’t just shooting my guy, it’s also Passing, Offensive rebounds, Scoring(In general), FT, etc. D Wade can score, play point and play off ball. He was a better scorer than Paul. He averaged more points than Paul. More assist than Paul. More Offensive rebounds than Paul. He was a better Leader than Paul. Paul is better shooter than LeBron but you would never say he’s a better offensive player than him because offense isn’t just shooting my guy. Wade is better, check the stats bro
Paul could do everything D wade can do honestly, d wade was just more athletic , quicker and a better defender as far as steals and blocks, they’re pretty even on ball defenders, they’re evenly clutch , both great pumpfakes get to the line, midrange game on lock, Paul the better 3 point shooter ..d wade better playmaker..I’m taking D wade over most though no question he got it between the two but Paul is underrated
@@imeverywhereeeee5090 We love Paul but he’s not D Wade. I’m 35 so I watched these brother’s entire career. Wade was considered one of the top 5 players in the game at one point, Paul was never considered top 5 at any point of his career.
@@KingTChalla69 D wade was my favorite player at a point so I kno trust me, I argued he was the best player in the league for a few seasons lol, but im speaking skill set if pierce had better help he might have as much rings
MISSED YOU IN MINNESOTA BOSTON AND MIAMI ANTOINE WALKER
Paul Pierce was a BEAST, this young generation need to CZcams him. One of best scorers of his generation and he was clutch!!
Mentally they’re equal. Different style of play. Both elite. Both get buckets. Just different ways
your crazy paul pierce is a bum
Facts!!!! 💯✅
If u think wade is better you are young and never seen the totality of Paul pierce career... kobe had the truth on his list of toughest ppl to guard wade was not even mentioned... I think that about sums it up...
YOU JUST TALKING HE LITTERALLY SAYS HE HATED GOING AGAINST WADE CAUSE OF THE TOUGHNESS
I'm 45 bro saw Pierce at Kansas and in the league...he was the Truth for a reason but he wasn't better thna D Wade...Kobe said the same thing about Melo cause they were bigger than him which made for a tough cover...Kobe also gave much respect to Wade and T Mac
Y’all just dickride whatever Kobe says. What Kobe said is HIS OPINION not everyone else’s. And you say that as if wade is so much younger than pierce. They played in the same era and there was never a time that Paul was better besides wades first year in the league.
either we are young or we just actually know basketball you dummy
If Mfs think Paul was better than DWade I wonder how Mfs feel about MELO AND PAUL PIERCE
Im a laker neutral and paul pierce was better than d wade. The truth was more.clutch and can actually shoot. Dwade was like the one dimensional kobe to me.
U clearly never watched dwade a day in your life. Slashing, midrange, post game, off ball game, monster in transition, better passer, better defender= one dimensional? Make it make sense.
@@TheIcemanthomas Better passer?? Better midrange? Better POST???? Than Paul Pierce?? Man, are you talking about a video game you played?
@@Mitch_Feralhe was a better passer and middy. Pierce was a better 3pt shooter
@@chilout2496 He was not a better mid-range shooter than Paul Pierce. Where are people getting this from? Like, statistically, and eye-test, Pierce is a dramatically better shooter in the mid-range - he did it through contact, he is the blueprint for the modern step-back, he was a machine. Wade didnt really start shooting confidently til about halfway into his career. Wade is, unsurprisingly, a much better scorer inside, as the premier transition scorer of his generation. Wade thrived bc he was out in front of people, and faster than everyone who tried to guard him - he wasnt a post scorer, he came into a jump shot as a veteran. He was a slasher. Pierce was a shooter.
@@Mitch_Feral😂😂😂😂😂😂
it’s all good & well we know they both greats but who’s the better player it’s a simple question
Love D Wade & Love “Truth.” Ridiculous how ppl act like Wade is levels about Pierce. I get the rings, yes but this shit is close even if u have Wade. Pierce is the TRUTH!
If pierce had end of prime Shaq and then bron and bosh he would have had 8 rings. One of the most complete scorers in history. First year he had a legit squad he was finals mvp and only unlucky injuries prevented more.
Paul Pierce wouldn’t have brought that 06 Heat team to the championship like Wade did
2006 NBA Finals - Wade 35ppg - 8 rbs - 4 ast - 3 stls - 1 blk - Paul Pierce never reached these heights period. He's not on Dwade's level. Great player, but if Pierce was on the Heat in 2006 they would have lost that series.
He also never played in the finals in his prime either. The first time pierce played in the finals he was 30. Smh
Talk that stats shit since stats is all that matter & oh rings too meanwhile nobody mentioned that, it's funny how stats & rings never get brought up in some debates which let's you see the biased bs lmao. Pierce was great, he a Legend for sure but more then Wade? Hell na
Who did Walker win a ring with?
Mia
U want The Truth u can't Handle The Truth
I met Paul couple times. Hes a good dude will sign autos and stuff.
Salute to Antoine Walker. Quality Player in the 90s and 2000s
The Truth 🤝🏾
PP midrange game was money. Elbow post a lost art in todays game, but that man was a savant no lie with his post shoulder shimmy and stepback out of it…
however if Dwade had his fully healthy knees w/ no meniscus tear @ Marquette and subsequent maintenance for them this wouldn’t be a discussion and I’m a C’s fan. The Flash was no joke ⚡️
Pierce = a healthier Tmac top 15 SF
Wade a top 10 SG borderline top 5 in my all time ranks
Say what you lost me at the tmac pierce comparison. I never thought they played alike at all. Also sf might be the deepest position in nba history
@@t-god2439 in terms of production & they did have similar games as the style of play in that era was a more condensed high post elbow midrange so most SF’s and SG’s + some PF’s (KG, Duncan, AK47, Boozer, Bosh) had proficient games in that area. Lol and yea SF is the prototypical bball position to most.
@@q-j-pwade is a top 3
The Way Paul pierce and Kevin Garnet talk You would think they Have atleast 3 or 4 Rings Lol😆
Injuries.. That 09 team was better than the 08 Championship that won the chip..
@@Kzmotivo did they win 09 NO!! So who cares all the teams have injuries, What Happened all the other year's🤔
IF ANYBODY SAY PAUL WAS BETTER JUST GO WATCH THEY HEAD TO HEAD MATCHUPS D WADE WAS HIM STOP PLAYIN WIT HIM
Bro like I'm like wth is going on here lol...Pierce was the truth no doubt but at their best he wasn't better than Wade
What percentage of fans really understand How the mindset goes when your very competitive and want to be great Paul is not going to think these other players can put play him
The Truth, no contest. Wade is great and had elite athleticism. Paul had the killer instinct. P wanted to go against the best.
What? Lol y'all just say anything
@@van2.060Exactly.
Sounds like a Skip/Stephen parrot with that goofy comment 😂
Correct answer is Wade was better (easily) but Pierce was also a fantastic player and one of the best of his generation.
@@van2.060 Wade played with WAY more talent, for way more of his career - specifically his prime - than Pierce. He was always second fiddle - which worked for him, bc his game was complimentary to bigs and passers. Paul carried a franchise around on his back - dragged two rec league squads into the playoffs, all on his own. And when KG and Ray came to town, Pierce was still the number one.
Wade's a great player, though he dirty as they come, but he never had to do it on his own like Pierce.
Wanted to go against the best but had a big 4 to constantly brag about that bron couldn’t beat all 4 of them
@@Mitch_Feraldo what on his own like paul ? His only chips is with garnett n allen & he never made it out the 1st rd w.o them
Editor must of fell asleep for the first 1:20 of the convo
Pierce is a SF and a better comparison is with Melo.
The truth all day
Pierce and Antoine got swept by J. Kidd in 03.
Paul pierce the reason I got into basketball
Paul don’t paint his nails so it’s Paul and all his sons are boys 😂
Nah wade better
😂😂😂😂😂
What's wrong with you?
💀
@@Shdjdjxbdksk You have a burner account for being a bigot on youtube, you wouldnt know normal if it pushed you into a snowbank.
To have a name like "the truth" given to you should speak for his game
I’m a Kobe fan. I remember Paul Pierce was always an ALL-STAR alongside Kobe.
Y'all crazy the numbers don't lie DWade all day
Good to see Mr 4 pointer big up pierce
I’ve been saying it for years Paul pierce is the most underrated player of all time
Paul pierce one if best to play the game for sure even with garnett and Allen on the team Paul was still that dude
Antoine speaking nothing but facts! #Truth
Bruh, this man pierce got stabbed like 11 times in a club, got emergency surgery and then 5 weeks later started the season avg 25 ppg that season. Like these heat players like haslem just like to talk for no reason.
Both are great players the point Paul was making is give him Shaq or LeBron and line the rings up because he felt he would have won more if he had what D-Wade had or even Kobe had early in his career.
Kobe felt he had to get away from Shaq to solidify his career, winning a title without Shaq.
Back to Paul, the Celtics wanted to get back in 09 but KG gets hurt then in 10 he drives LeBron to Miami for that team up.
In 2010 Perk goes down in Game 6 early and a travel non call in Game 7 on Gasol they maybe he gets a 2nd ring so yes he was salty because if he, Ray, KG team up in 2004 what are we talking about? And I am an avid Laker fan
Man as a Celtics fan this video shocked me i have never heard anyone put Paul on the same level as wade except me very different players obviously but pleasantly surprised by hearing Paul get his due from these guys seem like everyone i know or people i seen on tv having this conversation makes out like its not even close wade was on another level and I'm like idk man they both great at different things who would i rather have probably paul just cause i had him and loved him heck i wish tatum was as clutch as paul was its rough watching tatum whd of games trying to be kobe and tatum low key has some of the worst clutch stats in the league obviously hes much better athlete than paul no doubt i just wish he had the killer clutch gene paul had end of games paul with the ball i was confident he would either get a good shot up or make the right read seems like last couple years Tatum hasn't been doing that but hes young still im hoping he gets there
I promise I got them as a tie!!
Paul was better offensively, d wade better defensively, i got it as a tie too 🤝
@@uzzy909 straight up 💯
@@uzzy909I don’t know if Wade was a better defender or it’s very close. Pierce can play great defense and was physical, he just didn’t have the athleticism of Dwayne. I also got them as a tie.
The more and more I think about it man I’m probably taking Truth over Wade osrs
@@uzzy909it ain’t no tie Paul ain’t never lead no league in scoring
Paul was really the TRUTH!!!!!!
I'm not saying Pierce is better than Wade, but from a competitor standpoint, Pierce was right there with anyone. He was also one of the best clutch shot makers in the game as well...always wanted the ball in crunch time. I do think Pierce was a better all-around and more natural scorer than Wade.
Question should be who would you rather have on your pickup team '06 D-Wade or '08 Paul Pierce?
Paul All day
they can't guard each other, but im taking paul size & mid-range game. its built for the long term. it's methodical based on skill more than athletism. I love Wade #3 shooting guard oat but 4th quarter id take paul 1v vs anyone
Paul pierce is cold but thats not the conversation. Wade reached ceiling that paul could not
paul pierce doesnt bring the electric like wade, ever wondered why paul dont got a signature shoe deal
I think if Paul stayed and retired as a Celtic he would have gotten a lot more of the Props that he deserved.
The respect is there for Paul, but he's not better than Wade. I'm sorry, but the stats say so. Go to bball reference. But if folks think different, then that's their right.
GREAT JOB ANTOINE WALKER MY GUY ESPECIALLY YOU HELPED DWAYNE WADE WIN 🏆 THE 2006 FINALS
I think Wade is the 3rd or 4th best shooting guard of all time. I think his game was prettier and flashier but Paul Pierce was a superstar in the nba. Offensively he doesn’t have to envy anything from Wade and I think he was more clutch than Wade. Got his own chip too with the FMVP
Bruh wade got fmvp in 3rd year and wades bag was deeper better defensive player too
I tried to tell people they the same caliber
At one point Paul Pierce was neck and neck with Kobe, but then again wade was neck and neck with LeBron .
Paul Pierce was HIM in his prime!
Paul Pierce was tough!!!
I always say if it’s a game for my life, I’m taking Pierce. I always say if they woke up with each other’s game, they’d go “wtf! How’d I get so slow/fast?!?And why can/can’t I do this now?!!
D Wade was more athletic, better all-around scorer, better off the ball offensively and MUCH better off-ball defender. Pierce was a better shooter and 1v1 ball-handler. Peak for peak, D Wade is better, but Paul Pierce outplaying Kobe in the '08 Finals must be mentioned
Paul gave Lebron that work. Fuck what you think about him personally. Paul crushed the league
02 Paul Pierce was 98 in 2k 😂
Paul deserves his flowers, really. I would take Paul over Wade any day twice on Sunday.
Me when I lie
Pierce had a bunch of play off runs ...before big 3 ...with a shitty team west was weak .....and i believe wade better ..but Pierce was a monster
No he did not. He had ONE playoff run
@TheIcemanthomas how many wade have with out Shaq and Bron??
Wade has the exact same playoff record with out Shaq and Bron,,, Ecf once and 2 round once ,,,,as I said I think wade is better but Pierce is better then t Mac vince and ai...
I'll be the 1st to say I hated Paul pierce game when I was younger, as I got older I respected the old man game he was the guy you think you locked up and then found out he had 30 5 and 5 lol. He was Luka before Luka, slow not real athletic or flashy but super efficient. Flash was a beast 2 especially at 6 foot 3
Paul Pierce was a killer he had a lot of game definitely a great but DWade was something different
They should play 1on 1 first to 21 settled everything
They were older
I'm a Celtics fan and I think Paul is better, but, I think it could go either way. The disrespect on Paul's game today is crazy
Everyone has an opinion. They both hof players at the end of the day.
Shaq named him "the truth"for a reason
Wade has Pierce on Athleticism and defense. Pierce’s footwork was pristine. He could get to his spot methodically for a bucket. Dude was always ready to hit big shots. Wade never had to ball on a bad team, Paul did…
🤣
Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony has the same game.
The shooting guard position is not as deep as the 3. Paul not a top 5 small forward because it's easily 5 that were crazy Larry Bron KD Dr.J James Worthy
He even looks like he’s crying even when he’s not playing 😂..wade by a landslide
So yeah get the former Boston player who played with pierce to ask wade vs pierce 🤣. Yeah next get UD and ask him wade vs pierce. They both HOF it’s close idk it depends on what your preference. Its two different styles wade an elite athletic two way SG. Pierce a scorer that can score at all 3 levels and iso. It’s tough I think I would pick wade just cuz he was good at defense.
Wade and Pierce aren’t the same type of player.
Wade Is better to me but Paul wasn’t far behind
Antoine Walker was different
Fuk wat yall talkin bout Paul pierce taking the last shot. Paul was way more clutch nd way more dependable getting a bucket
I was agreeing with everything that was said until Stephen Jackson started talking about Paul is the blueprint for guards posting up. Because Kobe died did we just forget about him?
& Kobe literally copied MJs post game. Yeah they were exaggerating but PP was tough.
We learnt tht from mj not paul smh ....mj use to b on the block alot
2 different styles. Both greats. Pierce came 5 years before Wade. Stop this comparison. Love both.
🤣 I fw with Paul Pierce but what the fuck am I hearing right now 😂
