@@machoboys8884 wtf? Bro the amount of bad takes nba players have had is insane. Granted most are grounded and don’t make themselves look stupid but sometimes it’s ridiculous.
@@machoboys8884 MJ is considered the goat by many and he in undoubtedly top 2. But he doesn't know shit in terms of eyeing talent. It doesn't take a Hall of Famer to know a bad basketball take.
Give Pierce KG & Ray Allen and he still couldn't win... no wait... he not only got those 2 guys but won it all in year one... but sure, not with Shaq... cos reasons...
“We’ve never seen Klay in clutch situations” Isnt one of Klays nicknames literally Game 6 Klay cause he dominated and was clutch in Game 6 of the WCF against the Thunder to help the GSW overcome being down 3-1? Also for the Step Back stuff I know Jordan and Bird pulled out Step Backs in the 80s/90s and supposedly Wilt and Pistol Pete used it some as well but for the first to have it as a signature move… maybe Bird? EDIT Oh I paused right before Sage mentioned that lol
Bird did more sidestepping then stepping back. He shot about 1 3 a game for a few years. A lot of stepping sideways and sometimes backwards but often for a long 2.
I think its sad that because of all his awful takes people forget Paul Pierce was genuinely a killer in his prime. People seem to think klay is like an obviously better player but they are deadass on a really similar tier. The question about who is more clutch btw is also 100% Paul. He was wrong to say klay hasn't proved to he clutch but Paul is literally one of the clutchest shooters in nba history. He continued it through his whole career even hitting a game winner in Washington when he was like 40. This is a dude who has went toe to toe with Lebron in a playoff series or 2 and seriously held his own and was the go to scoring option on a championship team.
The issue I got with Paul pierce is that he and other would likely argue he was better than melo. And melo with no ring is still better than Paul pierce.
@@bigbillmusic wade wasnt with lebron early in his career.. lebrons whole narrative was always if u paired him with another great player he could've actually made history in Cleveland alot early on.. so peirce saying that in itself is irrelevant
Wade had shaq at 24, and lebron at like 29. Paul pierce had no one on his team to make any ASGs or make many post season achievements until he was around 32 💀. That’s why he said his… “I played 10 years with who?!?”… comment
The problem w pierce is he was a all star competing against legendary super stars, he got drafted 98 so he didn’t have to deal w the bulls but he had to deal w the Kobe/Shaq duo, Spurs dyanasty, T-Mac, Vince Carter, AI, D-Wade, Bron, Dirk, Nash, Prime Dwight, n this is all in his prime, Pierce just doesn’t have many accolades outside of Finals MVP, n 10x all star teams.
I can't lie. Paul Pierce did have the stepback as signature move. It was slow and different than the stepbacks today but there was a move called the Paul Pierce stepback.
Believe it or not Kiki Vanderweigh is the pioneer for the step back, i know yall young bucks wouldn’t know that because it was before your time, but here’s some of my old head knowledge for y’all, love this vids ❤️
It's just a shooting guard but how Is curry not a PG ?that's what I want to hear just because he averages the same assists or more than lonzo but I don't hear Lonzo is a SG it's stupid
@@razorgliscor940 it’s kind of pointless honestly, positions are really just for people new to basketball to try and understand it better. In reality, you just need people who can facilitate, people who can get their own shots, people who can rebound, people who can defend, and people who can shoot. The superstar “true” point guard archetype doesn’t have a great history of leading teams to titles
When he said that first thing you put in, I laughed so hard! Like bro even if you don’t wanna give him Miami and LA (which I don’t really if I’m honest) he’s the only reason that people tuned into Cleveland games. People weren’t watching Cleveland games for Larry Hughes.
Sorry Sage but no, GM-ing and elevating a team from with your skills and leadership abilities are two different things. Gettin to the finals with the Cavs in 2007 is definitely the Legit argument for that. But not building a team with the Heat lol.
Lebron ELEVATED the heat with his skills and leadership ability tho. Even taking LeGM out the equation, the heat still won championships on his watch because of his abilities, thats elevating a franchise.
@@brandonlee9798 but thats not building a team up from the Ground that just making a superteam ready to win when you skip all the years trying to break through. Lebron took the easy way out
@@mixedpleasure4324 easy way out? LeBron had to force his hand out of Cleveland bc the front office couldn’t give him major pieces during his first stint.
I can understand why pierce think he’s better, Wade did have in general the better team exspecailly when he played with lebron. If him and Wade switch up only one thing might change and it’s what Wade did in 06 and winning all defensive teams, besides that everything might change the same for the most part. Unfortunately he didn’t really get that opportunity
People only remember the present moments. They forget that boston squad paul pierce was the man for them 2 years. They went back to back. One won lost won
Give Pierce KG & Ray Allen and he still couldn't win... no wait... he not only got those 2 guys but won it all in year one... but sure, not with Shaq... cos reasons...
In terms of being a wing shooter, if it’s just off the catch or stand still shots, then Klay. But if it’s all aspects of shooting (off the dribble, step backs, mid range, fades, etc.) then you could make an argument for Paul Pierce
Cavaliers- Bron single handedly turned a franchise whos previous greatest player had been Mark Price (underrated yet not exactly an NBA legend either, all due respect to him) into perennial contenders in the East despite a lackluster supporting cast and brings the franchise its first championship in one of the greatest sports comebacks of all time Verdict: Built the franchise from the ground up Heat- Brought two championships to Miami, ensured that they maintained a winning culture after their 2006 title Verdict: Continued their winning tradition Lakers- Idc about the whole bubble ring take that people try and make to discredit the championship. The Lakers played under the same conditions as everyone else, they weren’t given any special treatment. Had he lost to the Heat, the narrative would be “No excuses! Jimmy Butler is a warrior, didn’t let the adversity of being in a different environment than what he was used to hold him down. This proves LeDiva is soft and doesn’t have that mamba mentality.” Verdict: Continued their winning tradition I think Paul Pierce might’ve been projecting since he was missing the playoffs routinely and wouldn’t have continued the Celtics winning tradition had KG and Ray not bailed him out
The problem with how Paul Pierce answered the question was the question wasn't who's the better player that was who had the better career clearly Dwyane Wade had the better career but if you ask me Paul Pierce was the better overall player while Dwayne Wade had a higher ceiling which he did reach for a short period of time. But I 100% agree with Paul Pierce if you give him LeBron James when he's 24 and Shaquille O'Neal he's probably at least a three-time champion.
@@simrock8893 aside from finishing at the basket what did Dwyane Wade do that was better than Paul Pierce and I would argue that he wasn't even better at finishing at the basket just better at dunking the ball.
@@yetundeadeyemi2436 there is no range where Wade was the better shooter. Nobody is going to give the ball to d-wave to shoot a jump shot over Paul Pierce just not going to happen even if he was statistically better Paul Pierce touched so many more mid-range gym shots wouldn't even matter. I went wouldn't even say he was the better finisher cuz they went about it completely differently Paul Pierce had more of a post-up game while the Wade had more flash.
There is a reason why paul pierce ain't working up with ESPN because these takes was horrible by him he wont get lebron ant credit for anything. He said he got a better Career than him even though he won 1 ring. I lose brain cells listening to him.
I want to see a 30 minute video of the two arguing who 8s better all time, the Lakers or the Celtics, that would be toxic, funny, and so entertaining 🤣
The entire best wing shooter thing is completely semantics, I conside top of the key part of the wing, others don't have to but if you iso to the right as a point guard that would be you playing the wing, the wing is just the left or right side of the arc. So it really doesn't matter. The issue is the 2017 curry isn't the best shooter take.
Paul Pierce acted like LeBron didn’t single-handedly make Ohio sports relevant. Nobody was watching Cavs games before LeBron got there unless they’re from Ohio or they’re watching for the other team. Nobody outside Ohio ever said they were a Cavs fan before Bron got there. Gtfo
Did more For Cleveland than Paul ever did for Boston. The economy changed in Cleveland when he left and busted again when he came back. Nothing changed when Paul Pierce got traded from Boston
"He goes to Cleveland" - No. He was drafted by Cleveland. Then left Cleveland and then come back when Cleveland drafted a superstar. The n left when said superstar got tired of him trying to put everyone under his shadow
Drafted to the Cavs took them to the finals and deep in the playoffs prior to Kyrie. Then when he came back Kyrie was an upcoming young talent that ain’t accomplish nothing in the league that made Cleveland a playoff or a championship contender. Lol
I’m still not sure if Pierce is allowed back in Milwaukee after that Bucks-Celtics series a few years back. Really had the audacity to call SERIES after Game 1, just to lose 4 STRAIGHT. PAUL PIERCE SUCKS!!! still has a nice ring to it after all this time.
Paul Pierce was so right about having Giannis on Harden instead of Klay. Klay is literally food to Harden, there’s a reason why they almost always had Iggy on him and Draymond picks him up on switches. Same thing with Kyrie. Kyrie is guaranteed to shake Klay out his fucking boots at least 6 times a game.
Paul Peirce definitely delusional but he's lowkey makes sense sometimes lol... he was more known for the step back than any other player in the league before 2010. And he's not wrong (although DWade was better) DWade did have way more help in his prime to win championships than Paul. From Paul's perspective as a competitor these are not crazy takes.
Sage a casual like Omar. Cleveland Cavs wasn’t a “shitter” franchise before. From 1987-1997 Cleveland Cavs only had 1 losing record. And even when they got LeBron they 35-47 and 42-40 missing the playoff both times before getting the Savior Larry Hughes.
ESPN: Who do ya'll think we can get on a show to have the dumbest, wildest NBA takes imaginable? Paul ' The Cap' Pierce: That's easy! That's me! Also: Game 6 Klay
what did they expect him to say? no player, when compared with another player, will say the other is better than them. egos get in the way too much. unless theyre humble enough to do so.
Buddd what u expecting him to say about Wade at the end of the day pierce is a competitor u really think a guy like that will say somebody is better then him I don’t understand the knock on him for those comments there is nothing wrong with what he said both guys are hofs
If you say Paul Pierce didn't hit stepbacks and you was a Boston fan then you're not a fan. He got older and was killing ninjas peelin the net with them fadeaway and game winning stepbacks

what did they expect him to say? no player, when compared with another player, will say the other is better than them. egos get in the way too much. unless theyre humble enough to do so.
Buddd what u expecting him to say about Wade at the end of the day pierce is a competitor u really think a guy like that will say somebody is better then him I don’t understand the knock on him for those comments there is nothing wrong with what he said both guys are hofs
Was the video and audio off for the last few minutes of the video? Or is my phone being weird?
If you say Paul Pierce didn't hit stepbacks and you was a Boston fan then you're not a fan. He got older and was killing ninjas peelin the net with them fadeaway and game winning stepbacks
