People forget how great he was. In 01/02, he averaged 26.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 1 bpgg, and 1.9 spg and played all 82-games. He had great footwork, could score facing or back turned to the basket, and high basketball IQ. Unfortunately, ESPN minions have no clue about how great he was.
Curry won 2 times. Not to mention he holds the record in real Games. He doesn't need a contest. Oh yeah and you're probably 8 then and 20 now but curry was barely curry In 2010
Hilarious. Just watched the 2016 AS Saturday night. Chuck, Reggie and all them change their opinions every four seconds. *Guy misses first 3* "He's got no shot" *Makes next 2* "Wait a minute!" *Misses next shot* "Nope he's toast." As a Pierce fan, this video is especially dope. Charles can be such a hater sometimes; I only wish Paul had overheard them and rubbed their noses in it.
Paul Pierce is underrated because he only won 1 World Championship. But the first half of his career, the Celtics were a badly run team till Danny Ainge had a couple years to get things going right
He's "like Larry Bird" in ONE aspect. They are both human. Other than that, Bird is 100% better than Pierce in every single aspect of the game and will always be the absolute favorite NBA player of ALL Celtics true fans. Pierce was a great player but nowhere near the God that Larry Bird was in any way, shape or form.
@@reneep9972 larrry bird was great and to me pierce was better , probably not at passing , I just remember larry bird had one of the best teammates and squad ever, im sure Paul would be recognized more if he played with good talent his younger years
@Renee P Pierce was closer to Bird than most people think. Bird was a better shooter and playmaker. Pierce was a better all-around scorer and defender. Bird had a great team around him as soon as he got in the league, Pierce played with a bunch of scrubs till the 2nd half of his prime. Give Pierce KG and Allen in 2001, and he would have won 5 championships

@@victordwyer1018 I remember back in 2014 when Paul and KG went to the Nets. And that’s one of the things they were asked about. Saying how they’d go to Ray’s events, but he’d never go to any of theirs
Dude is 2ND ALL TIME CELTICS LEADING SCORER (only 2nd cuz he went to Brooklyn. If he just stayed in boston he would have easily been first all time. For his whole career he scored 4000 more points than John H did) and 1ST ALL TIME CELTICS 3 POINT SHOTS MADE charles is a JOKE hahah
It's like someone said, all Celtic legends in the past era's have always played with other greats, while Pierce played a majority of his time with no other star, though Antoine Walker gets honorable mention. Taking Celtics to the eastern finals against sixers? Cmon... No one else you can name a Celtic legend with Pierce. Realize, all those you have named on YOUR top 5 have at the least played with another player on that top 5. Pierce has put in the work to be TOP mothafuckin' 5!
What was Kennys issue with the Celtics being better than the Lakers? They have more titles and have beaten the Lakers head to head in the playoffs more...its not really a matter of debate even until the Lakers get another title. Also loved the ending, Pierce is so underappreciated.
My friend said Pierce isn't a HOFer. I am not saying he is dumb but that is such an idiotic comment. 2nd All time in Celtics Points 9th All time in 3pts Made 5th All time in Game Winners Over 25k Points 10X All Star Appearances, 4x ALL NBA and Took his team to the Conference 4x 1x NBA Champion and 1x NBA FMVP.
It's amazing how many people underrate him.. This guy is a finals mvp and a future HOF.. And charles thinks Dennis Johnson is better then Pierce!? LMAO!! No disrespect to DJ but to think he's a better player than Pierce is idiotic..
pierce IS BETTER. PRIOR TO 2008 Paul ONLY PLAYED WITH one kinda star player and that was Antoine Walker. Being ask to be the Man and being ask to contribute to a championship level team is different.
+trha2222 You're a fucking idiot and a liar. Dennis Johnson never won MVP. Paul Pierce is a better scorer, a better shooter (he can play off ball), a better rebounder, and better at steals. The only thing Dennis can do better is play great defense and be a great playmaker but that's not simply enough. I wouldn't call you an idiot if you showed respect in the comments. Act like a little loser "banishing" people and not providing any evidence to solidify or back up your claims. I wouldn't call you a liar if you didn't say Dennis Johnson was a MVP. Not only that, but the guy above was correct. Dennis Johnson had his highest scoring seasons on the Supersonics and Suns respectively.
Hendo? Have you ever seen any of those guys even play outside of a few videos online? Pierce is easily top 5. It's amazing how people underrate him. He's second all time in scoring! Do you have any idea how impressive that is considering he was double teamed pretty much every game?
Let’s see top five Celtics are bird,Russell,John Havlicek,Mchale and Paul Pierce. After that you got kg and dj and Cowens and Cousy. Also the chief and Sam Jones.
Charles never said something and it was right. Back in 2010 and 2011 he was always saying that the celtics are too old and yet they got to the game 7 finals vs the lakers. Shut up Charles. As kenny says, you don't know what you're talking about lol
@WilliamALloyd I know. I saw that typo a while ago, but I had already deleted the project file and didn't care to re-upload. Besides, my username comes from the fact that I was born in England, not from perfect spelling and grammar. Still...it's a bad mistake.
Idc how young Steph is here, Paul beat him in a 3 point contest, put some respect on The Truths name, jus cause he was a bad analyst doesn’t take away that Truths a first ballot Hall of Fame baller, & Finals MVP, if Truth & Ray Allen played in todays NBA they would be greater than they already are
100% top ten, and if he's top five or not it really depends on wich players you consider a celtic or not, for example, would garnett be in that list? Because if kg isn't there or at least you don't count kg's timberwolves years, then pierce would be higher on the list, and so on. For me what is so especial about the truth is how he truly became much better at the clutch. He could have a terrible game but if it was the shot that really matter in the last minutes of an intense playoff game, he was going to hit it.
in the background u hear charles when pauls shooting his last rack charles goes "Boston Celtics....Best Franchise ever.........Better than the Lakers" lol but they his his voice volume got lower lol
1. Bird: I think he's better individually than Bill Russell. Even though BR won more. Bird was an incredible shooter, passer, and scorer. He was a good rebounder and not a shabby defender. His game was so skilled compared to physically gifted beasts who roam the court. Wilt was a crazy athlete, LeBron was a monster, Shaq dominated with strength. None of them were as skilled as Larry Legend, though. 2. Bill Russell 3. John Havlicek 4. Kevin McHale 5. Bob Cousy: You can rank him lower if you think he wouldn't be as good as Pierce in today's era. 6. Paul Pierce 7. Kevin Garnett: He wasn't as good on the Celtics as he was on the Timberwolves. You can honestly rank him lower if you want. 8. Dave Cowens 9. Ray Allen 10. Robert Parish 11. Dennis Johnson

Pierce was never the media agenda, he was just undeniably great
That's why he the truth

Paul don't lie... #undisputed
Ball and Paul don't lie😢
he is top 5 cause he's the truth. the man got stabbed 11 times and should've died. now he's a future hall of famer
Dude is 2ND ALL TIME CELTICS LEADING SCORER
and 1ST ALL TIME CELTICS 3 POINT SHOTS MADE
charles is a JOKE hahah
Supposedly a girl I new in high schools father is the one that did it
Charles was trippin during this video.
I’d say so .. he said Kevin Maccal would roll over in his grave lol mmm dudes still alive
Man I never realized how much commentators hated Paul Pierce
They don't hate him lol
Most underrated NBA B.Ball player of all time
Chuck does
They be hating on him he's one of the best players ever
God bless you and your family in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name Amen 🙏🏾
Paul Pierce is life
As usual, curry dissappeared during clutch
Curry won 2 times. Not to mention he holds the record in real
Games. He doesn't need a contest. Oh yeah and you're probably 8 then and 20 now but curry was barely curry In 2010
Kevin Garnett is such a great teammate
*2008 finals mvp
*3rd greatest celtic
nice video though, pierce has been underrated and disrespected throughout his whole career
***** I think you meant "Whole career." It was Wilt Chamberlain who had a hole career .
Brett Kermoade oh yea i guess i forgot the w
Thank you, someone who knows what they are talking about. Some people are clueless
Paul Pierce is a clutch shooter too he is definitely top 5 celtics
preach
"He's a shooter!" "No he's a scorer!" labels are bullshit! you can be who you wanna be!
Well not really, you can’t just decide I’m a shooter or a scorer, you gotta put work in

fun fact Paul pierce scored more career points than Allen Iverson
I actually did not know that. That’s crazy
@beantownn54 of course because iverson drafter 1996 while pierce drafted 2000
@beantownn54 ops sorry! yup you are correct dirk,carter & pierce was drafted 1998 thanks for correcting me 👌
Another fun fact, Paul Pierce scored the most points in the league in 2002, but AI still won the Scoring Title.
@beantownn54 yea I thought he was on a good team when he was with the nuggets .
Paul Pierce is underrated because he only won 1 World Championship. But the first half of his career, the Celtics were a badly run team till Danny Ainge had a couple years to get things going right
And he did it in his warm up .. good way to carry tradition #34
Charles Barkley should never analyze basketball ever again
Oh he beat Steph, the truth ☘️💪
Who remember his shooting form in the old 2k? the one when he would put 1 front forward award without jumping, I hated that one. Lol
