Paul was that dude. It's amazing the way he battled both Kobe and LeBron with half the athletic ability. Definitely raised his game against the best of the best.
Probably the most underrated player of his generation. His game wasn't as flashy as other elite scoring wings like, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Kobe, LeBron, D-wade etc so he always got overlooked. Top 2 or 3 clutch players during his time and during his title run he went toe to toe with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in their primes and outdueled them.
@@Vito_Caligiuri it was sad about both especially since they were saying Bias was going to be Jordan's biggest competition in the league for years to come..we got to see Reggie but I would have loved to see if Bias lived up to the hype
Paul Pierce gets too much crap thrown at him. Great player, clutch at key moments, and carried the Celtics during some dim seasons in Boston. Much respect Plus, not afraid to go toe to toe with Kobe and LeBron. Not in same class as Kobe and LeBron but at least he put in great efforts
What Paul did against those two to win a title is what life is all about. Was he “on their level” for a career? Who could ever hope to be? But with Paul we knew he could rise to their level for the right year, a series, a game, or a huge shot. You need a heart the size of a beachball to even seize an opportunity like that.
Pierce played traditional basketball with a bit of swag. His style was unique because he played the game how it should be played and gave it some attitude.
Definitely one of the most underrated players of all time. At that time he had one of the best step back jump shots in the game. Everyone in the building knew it was coming, but no one could stop it. As a guy from Boston, watching Paul play though out his career was a privilege. I just wish he retired in green.
He did. He came back on a one-day contract so he could retire a Celtic. I know that's not the same, but it's something. And you're dead-on with everything you said about him. So underrated. And yeah on the last play of the game you know Paul's going to bring it up the floor, head to the right at the top of the key, take a couple dribbles in the defenders face, fall away draining it. And although everyone knew he was going to do it, I'm not certain I've ever seen that shot blocked. What a privilege it was for us all!
Paul Pierce will always be one of my favorite nba players! Super slow and you still couldn't stop him. Definitely a TOP 5 if not TOP 3 clutch shooters. You can't name 4 clutch shooters better than PP!!!
the disrespect people have been spewing about paul pierce is so disappointing people who watched his game will never say something bad about his on court skills
People who don't know how good Paul Pierce was... Watch the very first play of this video. If you pause it you will see that Pierce is in double coverage with two more Defenders sliding under on the Baseline and a fifth pealing off Walker to join the party. If you look there is not one other Celtic with a defender five feet from him. But that was the only way to try to stop him, but he still gets to the rack. I mean they're leaving Antoine Walker who is an All-Star and lived on threes, completely undefended at the three-point line.
Boston needs to mark Paul Pierce a spot on the right side at the top of the key. I've never seen any player who could rely so much on the same shot/spot in the clutch. Defenses usually get wise.
Paul Pierce so underrated, this guy took the Celtics from not doing anything of recognition for 20 years to a championship, and now after seeing how Doc Rivers basically implodes during the playoffs ( clippers fan ) he deserves more credit, and he gave LeBron fits. INGLEWOOD
There is nobody in sports whose nicknames fit them more than Evander Holyfield and Paul Pierce. I don't care what the naysayers say. Pierce was the truth. He held his own with the best of them and took to a lot of the best of them. Dude could score from anywhere on the floor. One of the most clutch. He was definitely one of my favorite players. I remember the Celtics and the 6ers were playing in the playoffs. A friend of mine was an Iverson fan. I was team Pierce. It was him and his girl against me. By mid series his girl even had to admit that Pierce was nice with it. My friend was mad with her when he made the statement that Pierce was trash and she said, "nah, bae. He's pretty good." 🤣
Man people don’t appreciate the greatness of PP dude was an amazing clutch scorer and offensive weapon he just didn’t get the shine because it was Kobe era and bron right after dude would be a star now
Hated by his own so called fans and very disrespected by the media. The real ones can tell you how great this man was. Shaq naming him the Truth. Carried those bum teams for years on his back. Amazes me how Boston fans totally show their shyttyness towards this Celtics great. Man had a chance to leave this crappie team and organization but wanted a ring so bad with the C's and delivered and all you hear from I dee it fans is he needed the help of Garnett n Ray Ray. Real fans love you PP the Truth ❤
Nice! The Truth & The Dream are my 2 favorite players alltime & like you said Pierce is now underrated (really they both are) since the popular narrative is to hate on him. Footwork. Clutch. Loved the video!
That 2002 Celtics team was really underrated and was fun to watch Paul Pierce come into his prime. I think they were better than the Jason Kidd led Nets, who were so over-hyped--- and got swept by LA when the Celtics could have stole one or two games that Finals. Then they traded for an alcoholic Vin Baker, and it was a disheartening 6 seasons of the Celtics getting worse and worse and Paul Pierce being unrecognized and wasted years of his talent. With KG, Ray Allen, Rondo, etc, the Celtics won one, probably should have won three (Garnett's injury and 2010 Finals = LA takes 21 FTs in the 4th quarter of Game 7, etc...) but I'm very happy that Pierce made the Top 75 list. Well earned.
Game 7? You forget Kobe had 15 rebounds and Pau Gasol had 18 rebounds? Crying about free throws? Get the fuck out of here. LA played harder and that's a fact. I'm proud of my boys taking that W.
@@sicnarf6971 And you forget that Celtics starting center Perkins was injured for Game 7, Kobe shot 6 for 24, the Lakers were down big in the 4th, and then the refs granted them a parade to the free throw line. 21 in a quarter is a lot. And those rebounds you are talking about? Refs swallowed their whistles on countless offensive fouls and 3 in the Key penalties against the Lakers who illegally clogged the paint all quarter. Oh, and Kobe wanted no part of guarding Paul Pierce or Ray Allen and switched off them: something Jordan would have never done (as long as we're talking shit).
@@ergoat @ergoat You're going to start your argument by crying about PERKINS? Aiight that's decent. You should also know ANDREW BYNUM got injured in those playoffs. He only played 18 minutes game 7 because his knee problems. Andrew didn't play the 4th quarter in game 7 at all by the way. Yea Kobe had a rough shooting night. He had a rough year. Did you not know he broke his finger on his shooting hand? ANY OTHER PLAYER WOULD"VE SAT OUT TO REST. Kobe understood their window for winning a chip was closing so he fought through the pain. Then you want to cry about Freethrows? This makes me question if you even watched the game or just looking at stats. Boston started the 4th quarter with BIG BABY / Wallace on Pau Gasol. 2 fouls in the first fucking minute. Then KG fouls artest but they didn't get the call. You can even hear Jeff Van Gundy watch the replay and say "that was a foul, I give Artest credit for not complaining". Boston played very stupid the 4th quarter. Going back to the beginning. You complained about Perkins being out. Then you should fucking understand THAT'S WHY NOONE WOULD GUARD PAU GASOL. They couldn't use Garnett on him all game cause he would foul out so Garnett was playing Center. The only major call that went against Boston was Pau Gasol not getting called for the up and down when he hit that famous shot over 3 defenders and ran off screaming like a Spanish Conquistador lmao Now lastly you're comparing Kobe to Jordan? Jordan is arguably the greatest of all fucking time you douchebag. Also I should remind you that Jordan wasn't guarding the best players in the second 3peat. He was earlier on but not later. They brought Ron Harper and Dennis Rodman specifically to play hard defense. Your argument has holes all over it buddy. (as long as we're talkin shit)
Yeah it's a shame the refs played against the Celtics that fourth quarter. No way they were going to beat Kobe and the refs. NBA rigging games is such a disappointment as a sports fan.
THE TRUTH: 10X ALLSTAR, 2X FINALS, CLUTCH FROM ANY SPOT ON THE FLOOR, HE BEAT KOBE AND LEBRON IN THE SAME SEASON, 2008 NBA CHAMPION AND FINALS MVP. LEGENDARY😁 NUFF SAID.
Honestly, he was tremendous. He was The Truth. What I loved about him as a Celtic fan was the West Coast trips and him getting jacked up to play the Lakers et al, especially when he was younger and building his career. He was just a killer and he did love pressure and thrived on it. Honestly, my favorite Cs player of all time and I really loved the Larry Bird era. I would love to know what he thinks of Jason Tatum wearing Kobe's 24 in the East Finals. I bet Pierce grew up loving the Lakers too, but he would have never done that. It is a totally different era.
Need to put some respect on this man’s name. A lot of the people who try to discredit him won’t ever have the chance to have seen how he really played. Mans was competing against the best wing scorers of a generation , and held his own. He deserves nothing but respect. A true competitor.
Love pierce game not that fast or muscle but the footwork and craftiness remind me of Kobe impeccable footwork but on slow motion but effective and the Truth is clutch
I use to be a lakers fan as a kid just cause they were home team but playing a video game I had to choose some one else a friend mentioned the Celtics and Paul pierce and I been a fan since
Paul is my all time favorite player always has been always will be I don't know why I just always really loved his game And related to the Way he plays with craftness and good footwork and simple yet effective techniques and pull up jumpers and stuff like that. I think a lot more people can relate to crafty players like kyrie or Paul Pierce because they're not gigantic huge freak of nature like Lebron James so they had to play Another way
Pierce was a really good player, but we should remember there are levels of greatness. All star, hall of famer, but not quite legendary. He was still fun to watch, though.
No he's 100% a Legend.. The only help he had was guys like Walker who couldn't stay in game shape and was overpaid and journeymen like Ricky Davis and Raef Lafrentz.. He had highlights through his era, staying with a franchise that bungled every chance they had to help him.. Pierce basically had the equivalent of McGradys magic team for most of his career.. I don't really care about the Celtics, but he was one of the players I actually got happy for when he finally got help.. Fringe as it may be, PP will be looked back on as one of the underrated hall of gamers who were saddled with shit teams and shit coaching and still made them relevant
Underrate Pierce all you want but this man had no weaknesses. Played in arguably the toughest Era of basketball and was always top 3 at his position for over a decade. THE TRUTH 🍀🍀🍀
We watched the Celtics really suffer and struggle with just Paul and Antoine and a rotation of soft players that couldn't really get them anywhere. That one time when they made it to the playoffs was bitchin. We gave up our season tickets after Antoine was traded and we got 6 seats when Havlicek was a rook (I was not born yet). But I was there for that 4th quarter comeback and it was like Hysteria in that building! I don't remember it being like that since Larry.
Im not really a fan of paul but i will select him as my top 10 greatest than lebron.. He has the quality of one.. 1st the attitude, now dribbling his way to far better than lebron, clutch time no question or doubt, he already proved it and i saw all the game.. I always watch basketball eversince.. More than 3ft he has the higher percentage than lebron.. Guys this what im talking right now is only a fact.. Free throw higher than lebron, 3 points higher than lebron.. Actually im a lebron fan but we are talking only the facts..
From his book “The Mamba Mentality” page 149, “Paul Pierce was one of the toughest players I ever had to guard.” So ya the thumbnail is false and clickbait. And there’s missing info. LeBron in 2014 said Paul is his biggest rival.
It's sad that people really can't think to drink some water. That's the first thing I do when I wake up before and after lunch. All the time I always grab a bottle of water before I get It in my car
Pierce's clutchness is on par with Bird. His footwork & craftiness is tops. His D is decent if he tries, while he benefits from large wingspan. However, his talks on TV at times were just shows he's still an arrogant little kid.
You wouldn't pick him in a pick up game? U crazy as hell! Youngstas always pick the old schools cause the school the players. Most times playing basic and not all that flashy stuff is a guaranteed win cause you playing the game right now being extra or showing out for self and not being a team player. Your team is running n gunning with a smooth player. Pierce was just smooth and a guaranteed bucket getter.
I watched the entire video and never saw the quote from your thumbnail…did I miss it? I really like your channel, but I really hate click bait. I hope I just missed it.
although he is GOOD he aint a legend like WADE & BRON like he think he is better than these two, dude was just a one trick pony championship tnx to allstar teammates
@@wasarimukhamo how is he a one trick pony? And for the record, he is a Legend. He’s earned that title. You just don’t know much about him. You saying he’s a “one trick pony” pretty much confirms that.
Paul was that dude. It's amazing the way he battled both Kobe and LeBron with half the athletic ability. Definitely raised his game against the best of the best.
Yup one of his games against lebron he scored like 50?!
Yeah I think they both dropped 40 Paul won the series sent lebron to miami
@@yourmanzach2307 Paul the reason lebron ran to Miami couldn’t get past the Celtics

Top 2 or 3 clutch players during his time and during his title run he went toe to toe with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in their primes and outdueled them.
Just my opinion Kobe and Lebron were better players but Pierce had a better team during their title run in 2008.

Every 10 years or so the Celtics get a future hall of famer on their roster. The Truth was the best player they acquired since Bird
He was a scrappy brawler too, not quite Kobe, but ruthless none the less. One of my favs during my youth. Special time then

Facts during my lifetime best Celtic after bird I’m 33
People forget he almost died when he was stabbed 11 times in 2000. Guy came back and played all 82 the next season.
Paul Pierce gets too much crap thrown at him. Great player, clutch at key moments, and carried the Celtics during some dim seasons in Boston. Much respect Plus, not afraid to go toe to toe with Kobe and LeBron. Not in same class as Kobe and LeBron but at least he put in great efforts
Feel like a lot of the reason he gets crap is simply because of his horrible takes on ESPN
His ring was literally won through Lebron and Kobe. He’ll never be mentioned in their circle. He held my city down before y’all called it title town.
What Paul did against those two to win a title is what life is all about. Was he “on their level” for a career? Who could ever hope to be? But with Paul we knew he could rise to their level for the right year, a series, a game, or a huge shot. You need a heart the size of a beachball to even seize an opportunity like that.
Are u crazy you seen what this men did in they 2008 playoffs against LeBron they both had about 40 a piece in went at it hard
He was in there class at that time tho especially!
I grew watching pierce as a Boston fan it felt like basketball Tom Brady when it came to clutch shots
Pierce played traditional basketball with a bit of swag. His style was unique because he played the game how it should be played and gave it some attitude.
Facts basic fundamental

Paul Pierce the Celtic Warrior that's all I can say
Paul Pierce was basically the Luka Doncic of the 2000's. Slow, unathletic but crafty and clutch as hell.
I would say Pierce was a lil bit more athletic when he was young
Earlier on he could dunk better
but paul pierce can deliver a poster when he wants to.
pierce was a bit more faster
Great comparison
Paul Pierce so underrated, this guy took the Celtics from not doing anything of recognition for 20 years to a championship, and now after seeing how Doc Rivers basically implodes during the playoffs ( clippers fan ) he deserves more credit, and he gave LeBron fits. INGLEWOOD
Pierce was a scrappy baller. One of my favorites during my youth. He always seemed, as shaq says, the "truth".

That one time when they made it to the playoffs was bitchin. We gave up our season tickets after Antoine was traded and we got 6 seats when Havlicek was a rook (I was not born yet). But I was there for that 4th quarter comeback and it was like Hysteria in that building! I don't remember it being like that since Larry.
Paul Pierce was better than DWade.
Been a fan for a while Sean i would like to start my own nba channel how can I start mine without getting demonitized
Over 2 minutes in before the video even starts, cmon man 😅
Forget the NBA, Paul Pierce shares my #1 spot with Tom Brady as my favorite athlete. That might just be me as a new englander, though.
Floor Jordan gave prime Pierce the business when he was at the Wizards.
Reggie Lewis always have Prime Jordan the business
Im not really a fan of paul but i will select him as my top 10 greatest than lebron.. He has the quality of one.. 1st the attitude, now dribbling his way to far better than lebron, clutch time no question or doubt, he already proved it and i saw all the game.. I always watch basketball eversince.. More than 3ft he has the higher percentage than lebron.. Guys this what im talking right now is only a fact.. Free throw higher than lebron, 3 points higher than lebron.. Actually im a lebron fan but we are talking only the facts..
Can I get a heart please
I am a big fan BTM
Fan from India
He's a less skilled luka. But everything else is just the same. I agree with Paul saying that he see himself with Luka
Paul Pierce or Melo.. whose better
Melo better iso but Paul pierce is a better player and more clutch
Super misleading thumbnail. Kobe always said Tracey McGrady was his toughest cover. Also Kobe doesn’t even weigh in here.
From his book “The Mamba Mentality” page 149, “Paul Pierce was one of the toughest players I ever had to guard.”
So ya the thumbnail is false and clickbait.
And there’s missing info. LeBron in 2014 said Paul is his biggest rival.
P dub is the truth
Ads are obnoxious yo
You get ads?

Lol needing a app to remind you to drink wtf people were humans. This shit should come naturally
It's sad that people really can't think to drink some water. That's the first thing I do when I wake up before and after lunch. All the time I always grab a bottle of water before I get It in my car
Truth gets over looked alot
Please do Tony Parker please
Give Paul Lebron or Shaq before he turns 26 They win @ least 3 Chips…!!!
Pierce's clutchness is on par with Bird. His footwork & craftiness is tops. His D is decent if he tries, while he benefits from large wingspan. However, his talks on TV at times were just shows he's still an arrogant little kid.
You wouldn't pick him in a pick up game? U crazy as hell! Youngstas always pick the old schools cause the school the players. Most times playing basic and not all that flashy stuff is a guaranteed win cause you playing the game right now being extra or showing out for self and not being a team player. Your team is running n gunning with a smooth player. Pierce was just smooth and a guaranteed bucket getter.
Also, shit, he got outta the ghetto
THE TRUTH
The truth! So clutch and better than Wade
The black Luka Doncic. ANd that is the truth!
I hate the click bait smh
Greg Jennings has no idea Wtf that he’s talking about
Fast forward to 2:15 to start the video
He's aight. He's not Kobe
Paul pierce is a dog i remember when he use to drop 40 points a night
#truth34
I watched the entire video and never saw the quote from your thumbnail…did I miss it?
I really like your channel, but I really hate click bait. I hope I just missed it.
It was click bait
Man stop it. PP was good but nowhere near a top 30 player of all time.
although he is GOOD he aint a legend like WADE & BRON like he think he is better than these two, dude was just a one trick pony championship tnx to allstar teammates
Lebron didn’t win til he got all star teammates 😂🧐
@@Slyme1big same for d wade. Ppl kill me thinking the greats didn't have great players on their teams to win a championship smh.
You cannot win at that level with only 1 great player.
@@chrisisslick meh he still a one trick pony , not better than wade & bron like he think he is
@@wasarimukhamo how is he a one trick pony? And for the record, he is a Legend. He’s earned that title. You just don’t know much about him. You saying he’s a “one trick pony” pretty much confirms that.
The Truth has gotta be the coldest nickname
