amazing footwork, rarely any young players have it so they rely on their athleticism which wont serve em much later in their career meanwhile pierce stayed elite for like 16 years
😂😂😂 He's the one who sends disrespect towards other players! It's cool that he thinks he's the best player ever but to say that on national TV that man is a clown
Teejay Thomas Look you shouldn’t fault a player for thinking they’re better than someone else, that’s the mindset you should have as a pro athlete to convince yourself you can win any matchup. He just hasn’t snapped out of that yet as a commentator.
Can't believe I'm reading these comments about people hating on Pierce. Not his fault he hit all them game winners on ya. Don't hate what you can't appreciate. Pierce is a first ballot HOF, and lead many mediocre Celtics teams to the playoffs. 2nd best SF of this generation.
Nikolas Rodriguez It's hard to compare the two. KD's career has just started. The guy (KD) isn't even in his prime, yet. KD has done some things Pierce never did, but Pierce has done some things KD hasn't done. Pierce is a much better player that KD. Pierce was a more consistent winner on mediocre teams. KD has been on at least a team with 50 wins or more for the majority of his career. I would say there was only 4 years KD was ever on a "bad" team. Both have been to a Finals. I hear the arguments, and they are good. Pierce is nicknamed "The Truth" for a reason. No disrespect to KD, but he can't light a torch to Pierce. KD has a lot to do still before he even comes close. Not to mention, KD has only played in 7 years of this current generation (2010's). Pierce had already been in his 12th season by the time the 2009-2010 season came around. Not to mention, Pierce had to overcome a serve stab-wound to even continuing playing. The most struggles KD has ever had-besides injuries-was probably the Free Agency before this current season. Not to mention, you look at Paul Pierce's Draft Class, and he might just be the best to come out of that class. Hence, I said might. Meaning a possibility. I can't wait for the Vince Carter dick riders to come out of the woodwork.
Adam Terry lol KD is still new and not in his prime ? he been in the league for 10 years and has one of highest scoring averages of all time . he'll be exiting his prime soon
The truth, The blueprint, clutch master, 2008 finals mvp, 10 time all star, and 4th best 3pt shooter. Thank you for 19 seasons of basketball from an old Celtics fan.
Gonna miss watching this guy. Watched him since 04. I looked up to this guy. People saying he shouldn't be a HOF is either 12 years old or has never watched him play.
These are mostly his greatest dunks of his career. He's had sooooooooo many greater plays and clutch shots and moments than these. I could find 34 plays of his per season better than most of these and I'm completely serious
It’s not fair how kids today won’t know how good he was because of how controversial he been with his comments lately lmao but he’s deadass a top 5-10 SF to ever play the game . 10x All Star 4x All NBA NBA Champ & Finals MVP
Bosh was 26 and Bron 25. Wade 28. Paul was 30, Garnett was 31 and Allen 32 yrs old. So Paul is right they would've won more rings if they linked up years earlier.
Call him overrated if u want, but theres no denying this man's name is practically overlooked when thinking about clutch performers and the greatest sf's of all time...truth is hes underrated af
Thomas H 😲 WTF? L. Man wow well u win fool of the day.. A prolific wing scorer who is athletic and shoots well is alot more valuable then some white guys that played 4 decades ago.
Paul Pierce should be among the top 5 Celtics greatest players! Paul is one of the greatest one-on-one player in the same vein as Kobe, MJ in making crucial shots.
Thank you for what you did to the Celtics! When I started watching basketball, you were one of the first Celtics players I saw and heard of. You will be missed!!!!
I spent all my years watching Pierce from an enemies lens. I hated this guy. I think this is my first time admitting to myself, he's fucking amazing. Thank you for the rollercoaster ride of emotions you sent me and my family on, repeatedly killing our teams championship dreams. You're absolutely annoying but you're a legend. Respect forever.
Ppl don’t talk about this at all. The Celtics drafted Joe Johnson in 2001 and traded him after 40 games. Johnson & Pierce would’ve been one of the best wing duos ever. Both of them were clutch.
I think ppl need to show Paul Pierce more respect as a player no he didnt have the athletic package Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Jordan, Carter, And T Mac had but he played his game and never allowed nobody to speed him up he was clutch asf and was durable in his prime if only he had more better players around him during his prime years he would have won my Champions.
Laker fan here but man, he was a beast. He got that sneaky poster ability …like he don’t look athletic at all but can basically score whenever he wants
What do you think a millennial is exactly? I'm a millennial and was old enough to pay for overpriced beers at the garden and see him play. My first Celtics games was in the old Boston Garden. Millennials are old now... recalibrate your shit.
Pat Riley face on that game winner layup had me in tears. He's just thinking, "Did this dude just get a game winning layup off a basic drive to the basket."
I truly couldn't stand this man's game back in the day. Still, can't, but he's earned my respect for all that he accomplished in his career. #legendsneverdie
The half court one was hilarious lmao I miss the Paul Pierce era of the Celtics when I was in high school but Marcus Smart, Jaylen, and Jayson are great and they're the new wave of the Celtics
I remember in 2003 he played the Pacers and I knew Pierce was a superstar but I didn't know he was one of those clutch superstars until he hit a game winner over 2 players similar to Kobe and won the series against Indiana .
Dunks and circus shots are great, but to me, Pierce will always be remembered operating at the top of the key, in a momentus situation using a series of jab steps and pivots to get a jumper off that went in most of the time.
I was wearing a Pierce jersey in Vegas a couple years ago and I overheard a random talking about it telling his friend "do you know who's jersey that is? That's Paul Pierce one of the greatest basketball players of his time" You damn right.
I know each and every one of those plays... Kicking Bosh, gamewinner at the MSG (should have been a couple of them), dunking on Hawks, a nasty tomahawk (baseline camera, the dunk didn't count because of the call earlier) & gamewinner layup in Miami, etc., etc. There are quite some important highlights excluded actually, from gamewinners to defensive plays to exellent ball control and craftiness. Just shows how great his career was. Thank you, Paul Pierce!
paul pierce was a killer back then, he singley handedly kept the Celtics relevant from the late 90's to early 2000's. I feel bad for him that he is now a laughing stock by these kids on the internet.
Joetastic Harrington was talking trash the entire game and on that play they were both talking trash to each other. Pierce hit that 3 in his mouth without hesitation to shut him up
You know you've been good for a long time when half your highlights are in HD and the other half aren't.
Jordan Colby Yep kkk
Jordan Colby fuckin dead!!!😂😂😂
Couple of them look like they came from a VCR tape.
Pierce is the truth but he was also played in between eras so
john big dick L
Never seen someone run so slow then dunk so explosively
amazing footwork, rarely any young players have it so they rely on their athleticism which wont serve em much later in their career meanwhile pierce stayed elite for like 16 years
Kobe said it best he lulls you to sleep the bang your done
He had way more bodies than i gave him credit for.
On gawd 😵
@@amanzeaharanwa84 right like damn
Tatum just might be a mixture of Kobe & Paul afterall
Paul Pierce balls like the old guy during a pick up game who's actually still got it
Jank Foots Right?? lol
Chris Bosh' balls are sore after that poster
ye got him right in the hibberts haha
You got that right even back in the day when he was a young buck.
Jank Foots he will be the best playe on a pick up game tough lol
One of the most clutch, underrated, and consistent superstars of all time. Congrats on a magnificent career, Truth. You will be missed!!
he didn't die
@@hazeljones6471 the athlete died haha professional athletes die two times, once they retire and once they really die
Paul may not be as fancy and good as kobe but the guy from golden state named green is far from pauls level.
He’s not under rated lol he’s a goat
Say less would not approve of this comment
Am I the only one that thinks it's REALLY wrong for the #1 play to be out of a Celtics uniform?!?
Ikr, they should've put his dagger three against LeBron in 2012 ECF.
SubtleHawk yea show that, then show what happened the next game 😅
ValkyrieProduction Ha ha very funny. Seriously though, Celtics were the pretty much the only team in the East that came close to beating the Heat.
SubtleHawk Indiana took them to 7 in 2013
MrFritzMusic no matter what he will always be a Celtic and so what he is still an amazing player
Currently the most disrespected superstar of all time
Lol that's why he talking shit now.
😂😂😂 He's the one who sends disrespect towards other players! It's cool that he thinks he's the best player ever but to say that on national TV that man is a clown

- Did you call bank?
- I called GAME!
scrolled too long for this commentary
Legend
Great.
Realest shit he ever wrote
kids today just know him as a clown analyst at ESPN.
they don't even know how good he was
Hell, alotta kids don’t even realize how inhumanly good and impactful Jordan was, they more so know him as a crying meme.
@@TheEquation007 and then they are crying to theor mom to buy them jordans lol
Bro I’m a kid and look what I’m watching I watch larry bird and Kobe and wilt and prime jordan
Same story with Charles Barkley too. 😂
they had 2k and youtube like i watched larry bird dr j jerry west michael jordan were good, i first watch since kobe and shaq era
I can't wait for top 0 russell westbrook plays
My life would be complete if they posted that 😂
Emotional Lesbian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 me too or the Aaron Gordon top 00 plays

prob will be his record breaking triple double #

1. Paul Pierce has like 15 game winners? #clutch
2. Young Paul Pierce was dunking on everybody!!
Ray Mbonu He's got more clutch plays
Ray Mbonu Long story short, most underrated player of the 2000's
yeah, paul pierce is such an underrated fearless rim finisher.
Every Body
vince carter is the best dunker of all time.
The truth, The blueprint, clutch master, 2008 finals mvp, 10 time all star, and 4th best 3pt shooter. Thank you for 19 seasons of basketball from an old Celtics fan.
Where is the three he hit over lebron in the 2012 ECF to win the game
Bwalkss the NBA can't have Lebron getting embarrassed
Bwalkss exactly
Bwalkss I was waiting for that too lol
Bwalkss I think so too
I'm a Bron fan but that's what I expected to be the number 1 play here.
Up there in the top 5 clutchest players ever....You can make a video that's 20 mins long of him just burying game winners. man's a legend
Gonna miss watching this guy. Watched him since 04. I looked up to this guy. People saying he shouldn't be a HOF is either 12 years old or has never watched him play.
You know LeTrash fans or should I say bronsexuals hate this guy right 😂
These are mostly his greatest dunks of his career. He's had sooooooooo many greater plays and clutch shots and moments than these. I could find 34 plays of his per season better than most of these and I'm completely serious
I actually got videos where Paul Pierce does crazy dunks in 00-03
Doc Rivers should be the most thankful out of the bunch. Pierce helped turn that sub-.500 coach into a "coaching genius".
TranceJay most overrated coach of all time
Rivers is a good coach, but vastly overrated. Thank god he left Boston. Brad Stevens is a way better coach.
I LOVE YOU GEORGE
overrated . he lost this series himself against the jazz overplaying his garbage son Austin Rivers
so true.
My favorite player of all time honestly. going to miss seeing this dude play #34
Can't wait for Jae Crowder's top 99 plays.
Lmao they'd all be corner 3s and steals
crowder $99 missed 3 #98 miss 3 #97 miss 3. Crowder is shit
Kevin Kang lmao
Kevin Kang Unfortunately, even after 60 years Jae Crowder is not the best player #99. It's George Mikan
Chilllll
It’s not fair how kids today won’t know how good he was because of how controversial he been with his comments lately lmao but he’s deadass a top 5-10 SF to ever play the game .
10x All Star
4x All NBA
NBA Champ & Finals MVP
Top 5 SF in my opinion but carry on lol
@@steph1856 ok big Perk lol
One thing about Paul Pierce is.. that dude knew how to get to the basket. And if not, he was still a decent shooter.
One of the most underrated NBA legends of all time...
Bosh was 26 and Bron 25. Wade 28. Paul was 30, Garnett was 31 and Allen 32 yrs old. So Paul is right they would've won more rings if they linked up years earlier.
FACTS!
Call him overrated if u want, but theres no denying this man's name is practically overlooked when thinking about clutch performers and the greatest sf's of all time...truth is hes underrated af
People need to put respek on his name. He got posters, He’s clutch and he was a killaaaaaa
Pierce had it all. Pure basketball gene.
This man is one of the greatest players in history! Straight up amazing!
First Ballot Hall of Famer! Enough said.. This newer generation better put some respect on his name! He is nicknamed “The Truth” for a reason!
Champion, HOFer, 3rd greatest Celtics all time
Bird, McHale, Russell are top 3 bruh
Prodigy195 Ur honestly gonna build a team around McHale before Pierce?? Hahaha ha ha ha L
Thomas H 😲 WTF? L. Man wow well u win fool of the day.. A prolific wing scorer who is athletic and shoots well is alot more valuable then some white guys that played 4 decades ago.
***** I get it ur obviously trolling
Idk why you used him being white as an argument, Bird would Baptize Pierce

If it makes you feel better he is in the starting line up for all time Celtics in 2k
Thank you for everything you've done for me and all of the other fans of Boston, let alone the NBA. Forever will be, Paul "The Truth" Pierce. ☘️
MBJ920
I’m not sure why he left
Thank you for what you did to the Celtics! When I started watching basketball, you were one of the first Celtics players I saw and heard of. You will be missed!!!!
People don't realize how athletic Pierce was
One of the most underrated players ever, dude was a bucket!
Lol # 1 “Paul did you call glass?!”
“I CALLED GAME” that was a cold ass moment right there 😂
No one has the moves Paul Pierce has. He is one of my favorites of all time.
the disrespect to put a play from his wizards days at number 1
Jordan Eribben it was the semis
Should have replaced it with the game winner on Lebron's face in the 2012 ECF.
That Wizards version of Paul Pierce is old gold. That man was a bad man.
I spent all my years watching Pierce from an enemies lens. I hated this guy. I think this is my first time admitting to myself, he's fucking amazing. Thank you for the rollercoaster ride of emotions you sent me and my family on, repeatedly killing our teams championship dreams. You're absolutely annoying but you're a legend. Respect forever.
Had the same with Kobe. You know you're a true basketball fan when you can appreciate a player who spent years crushing all your hopes haha.
☘️
One of the most clutch player in the NBA & underrated 💪💪💪
The truth beat both Kobe & Lebron in their primes in finals. The other one is Tim Duncan. That’s an elite group.
Pierce never played LeBron in the finals but we get what you mean
@@brianrobinson4710 maybe conference finals ?
Dirk
Dirk add in kd westbrrok and harden
Can't believe it, but Paul Pierce is an underrated dunker!!
Drammond look who got there farewell tour!!!! you will never get one
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK Be Gone Bitch he didn't get a farewell tour tho lol
his last game in boston was crazy
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T he did everyone farewelling him it's all over social networks
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T they even went out there time to make highlights for him
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK Be Gone Bitch not like Kobe tho and everyone does that when ppl retire
Gave the Boston area a lot of joy for a lot of years. ... GREAT player.
Clutch player. Never shyed away from the moment
one of the best small forwards of all-time
One of the most underrated players in the NBA!! Awesome highlights
Man I love Paul Pierce and his sneaky athleticism
As much as I hated Paul Pierce because Im a Laker fan....I LOVED HIS GAME! THE TRUTH.
It was the opposite for me. I was a Celtic fan in Inglewood, CA and hated the Lakers and Kobe 😂
0:51 That was genuinely the most pure, sexiest half court (basically 3 quarter court) shot that I've ever seen. That was money.
Ppl don’t talk about this at all. The Celtics drafted Joe Johnson in 2001 and traded him after 40 games.
Johnson & Pierce would’ve been one of the best wing duos ever. Both of them were clutch.
@5:19 wtf??? Nigga looked possessed
Montel Elmore He "possessed" Harrington
Possessed with greatness

Met him once, knew he was a ball player but didn’t know he was such a beast.
millennials looking at this vid like they thought the truth was a bum 🤧
Exactly
I think you're referring to Gen Z because millennials grew up watching Pierce. The first millennials turn 40 this year.
What do you think a millennial is exactly? I'm a millennial and was old enough to pay for overpriced beers at the garden and see him play. My first Celtics games was in the old Boston Garden. Millennials are old now... recalibrate your shit.
What’s crazy is like 15 of these highlights are for the win. Paul was soooo clutch he made alot of game winners in the playoffs
One of my all time faves paul was such a solid all rounder
HOF! Always be my #1 idol
His no.1 play is in Instagram.
Maaan they took my boy out 🤣🤣
hahaha

My Favorite players I ever watched Jordan, Iverson, Olajuwon, Kobe, Lebron and Paul Pierce
He is the truth. No one can replace him.
Still one of the greatest Celtics of all time , he will be a HOF one day
He did that💯
I remember in 2003 he played the Pacers and I knew Pierce was a superstar but I didn't know he was one of those clutch superstars until he hit a game winner over 2 players similar to Kobe and won the series against Indiana .
One of the few guys who could do it all and one of the most clutch to ever do it
1 OF THE MOST UNDERRATED DUNKERS OF ALL TIME
wheres the 3 vs miami
I honestly forgot the truth could throw it down like that when he was younger
The player I looked up to when I was a kid. This man's game was imitated by me on the court. Congratulations to PP34!
Paul Pierce was something else for real i really think he was better than wade
sad to think.
Me too 💯
Dunks and circus shots are great, but to me, Pierce will always be remembered operating at the top of the key, in a momentus situation using a series of jab steps and pivots to get a jumper off that went in most of the time.
Watch the full games live guys funny as hell. Goat
Paul Pierce was awesome! He was never the best but he was my favorite player during his stretch.
The GOAT of GOATS, Paul Pierce!
