Think it’s more of a combination of people forgetting and his arrogance in his later career and ignorance/idiocy on ESPN overwriting their view of him. So in summary it’s part people forgetting and part him being an arrogant dipshit making people forget.
One of the most underrated players of all time. Could score from any where on the court. Had no weaknesses offensively. Could drive, post up, pull up from mid range, hit the three on and off the dribble, come off picks. He had the whole arsenal. An above average defender rebounder and playmaker. A top 10 clutch performer of all time as well. If these kids only knew how good he was in his prime
He was less quicker, less atheltic than kobe, tmac, carter that's why he was under appreciated, but he had elite skill, clutch and confident. Pierce was a killer and everybody from that era knows,
Paul Pierce's athleticism is so difficult to put into words - he looks like a chubb & moves like an agile fat man and then he explodes and dunks it. The motions of his body look slow and then he just blows by people or gets his own shot the way he wants it.
I remember when I was an assistant coach at Inglewood high school, I was passing the ball to Paul this was his sophmore year and I said you have a head like a guy I played college ball with, he said who, it was his brother Jamal Hosey. Thereafter I watched him developed and I told him if he could play hard and go hard all the time, he could be phenomenal. I played with John Williams who was arguably the best to come out of LA. Then one day assistant principal told me that paul will be an all american in college and a high scoring small forward in the pros. I did not see after thinking of others such as baby jordan harold minor then we played compton dominguez a nationally ranked team that featured nba player Prince and his brother. Paul put on one of the best quarters in basketball history offensively and clearly played like a man among boys in the defeat. I was convince he controlled his destiny to greatness. Every year I would bump into him as a pro during the summer league and he kept getting better and better. Then he just went to a whole different level then to the hall of fame. So proud of him to represent Inglewood the way he did.
I was laughing at the 16:19 mark when number 4 (nate robinson) tried to hug paul pierce for the shot celebration but instead missed him and fell to the ground.
He was not the best player of his era but I enjoyed watching him beat opponents with his skills and average athleticism. His bag of tricks were always entertaining.
Pierce was good during the early 2000s like danny granger. After the 07 trade that landed KG and Ray to the celtics he thought that he was a big time player throughout his career.
@@mannymatencio1279 You can say Pierce has a bigger impact yhan Granger cause Pierce won a chip and finals mvp while having KG and Ray as teammates. Sadly Granger was injured mostly in his career
@@kilikiliwarrior Paul has bigger impact pre kg, ray and even the chip, he was an all star 2002-2006 2x all NBA 3rd team 2002& 2003. what Granger has his whole career? An all star selection once cmon bud Check first before you speak.
everyone forgets that he was actually a genuinely sick player back in the day
I'll never forget all time favorite, and most under rated
The people who hate on him as a player either know nothing about basketball or are 15

I don’t think they do they just over him thinking HE was lebron James lol

What perfect timing for this video!
"I can't lose even when I lose I'm winning🤔🤔😶😃😃😃" - Paul Pierce 2021
I only remember "Winning" by Charlie Sheen
🐐🐐🐐
One of the many players I adore, so I'm genuinely glad you put this up tbh.

Pierce was honestly one of the most clutch players I have ever seen play. For sure one of the guys you would trust with the last shot
That’s a fact
The immensity of his playing career is inversely proportional to his career as an analyst. Being fired of ESPN saved his legacy.
this video has definitely made me appreciate paul pierce and what hes done for boston
He never had superstars until KG and Ray came…That tells u how good he really was
Nothing but TRUTH ! Respect the man He’s a champion !!!!!!!
He was less quicker, less atheltic than kobe, tmac, carter that's why he was under appreciated, but he had elite skill, clutch and confident. Pierce was a killer and everybody from that era knows,
great time to upload this of the truth
quite disappointed i thought is is the lemon peper wings incident
This style of videos and this man's voice makes a perfect combination 😍😍😍😍♥️

One of my favorite players ever! THE TRUTH!
Dude was an awesome player. His sports analyst career overshadowed a bit how good he actually was.
naaaa real heade knoo how good pg is the truth
Best sports chanel and host! Great videos and and soud effects!
The Story Behind videos are top 3 video series on RUclips easily
Pierce and this channel is the same both are underrated
His footwork is an art
Man almost shit himself on live TV during a game.... Gotta give him props for his quick thinking
The reason why I became a Celtics fan back in 2001. Him and Antoine Walker almost made the Finals that year
Wow. I always loved watching him. But never knew about all that in the earlier years of his career
the end was smooth lol
The OG big 3 that of the late 2000s that caused LEBRON to join Miami to form that big 3
this guy was one of the best and most efficient scorers in the NBA
Your follow up video should be "The *behinds* behind Paul Pierce." 😁😁😁
Clown him all you want, the truth is a dog
Paul Pierce is the truth
Am i the only one who HATES when they put the clip on a tv or Jumbotron
My favorite of all time! The Truth!
Best channel
On behalf of all Canadians, we were terrified of Paul Pierce 🇨🇦
Paul Pierce went toe to toe with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant
I want him back on TV 😅😂😂
Such a great chanel. Could you do a John Wall video?
One of the greatest Celtics and still this guy is no one's favorite player.
I'm a fan and my favorite player growing up
Literally my favorite player since '02, and probably always will be
I was laughing at the 16:19 mark when number 4 (nate robinson) tried to hug paul pierce for the shot celebration but instead missed him and fell to the ground.

The Truth! ☘️
"I had to go to the bathroom."
This channel is super unappreciated!!! Y’all sleep too much.
You didn’t have to do Toronto like that
People need to stop disrespecting pierce the player, yea you can criticize how he is on tv but people need to stop trashing his career he was great.
your video is not showing on subscription page.
You think you Kobe. They don’t love you like that
not to disrespect this content.. but Dirk and MAVS will always have the most amazing post season run in the NBA history
Draymond dragged him tho 💀💀
Also, if ANYONE KNOWS THE SONG AT 14 MINUTES, I would love to know
Pierce was maybe my favorite player...
Im on board Knows a Guy!
Paul Pierce was a legendary CLOWN
Can you do Dwade pleasee.

Who's Danny Granger compared to peirce?
@@mannymatencio1279 Maybe. They play the same way.
@@kilikiliwarrior what's your point if they play the same way definitely peirce has a bigger impact than granger

2nd best SF after Bird.
LeBron must be playing Center
@@nirdeep07 Truth hurts....
go watch his high school dunk contest,and i dare you to not laugh
His mouth is his own enemy. He won one chip and don't know how to act. Thank god Kobe beats him in the 2nd matchup.
Just Paul
Who the hell put their MyPlayer "God Shammgod" in that All American Line Up @3:15?
Paul Pierce best actor of the 2008 finals lol
It took him two years to donate to the hospital that saved his life?
I guess because he was still on his Rookie contract?
you bozo, he was on his rookie contract and anyone knows how small contracts back in the day compare to todays
one of the most overrated of all time...
