Pierce: "I'm the best player."

[RipCity32]

Without Pierce they wouldnt have been there.

Ya, but Pierce was there the whole time, KG got aquired..

 

[CameronCrazy06]

That's like saying Rasheed Wallace is better than Rip Hamilton because the Pistons won the title after they got Sheed, when Rip was there "before"...

 

[yezzir]

Well he was the Finals MVP...

You almost make it sound like you actually believe that Pierce is the best player in the league.


Lol, what a joke.

 

[.GR]

No, he said that in response to him not being the best player on the team.

Ya but no Sheed no title. I never said Sheed was the better player, so don't put words into my mouth.

No KG no title, if they would of just been Pierce and Allen they wouldn't of went all the way.

I don't get why your trying to argue this, we both know KG is a better player and better piece to any team. Would Pierce even bother saying this if they didn't come off of the title and didn't have KG and Allen to help him win the title?

 

[.GR]

Youre not making sense Rip. Its the same with Pierce. If it was just KG and Allen, no championship.

 

[RipCity32]

Are you seriously that stupid? What is there not to get.

Pierce was on the Celtics before this year correct? They added Allen and KG. Therefore without their help Pierce would not be the NBA Finals MVP and his team would of not won the championship.

Why wouldn't the Celtics have Pierce? They added to the team, Pierce was not added somewhere else.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

But let's say the Celtics traded Pierce for KG. They wouldn't have won. All 3 members of the Big 3 were equally valuable...

 

[RipCity32]

Yes I know that. But I'm saying KG has the most value of all 3. If you replaced KG with someone of less skill I don't think they have enough. Like Al Jefferson I suppose.

But if you were to replace Pierce with let's say...Michael Redd, I say they still have enough to get it done.

 

[Pugz]

If Al Jeff had the same season as he did, and the Celts didn't have KG but they had Al I think they would have been a force still..Championship though, maybe.

 

[dez]

KG is was the vital part to that Championship run, it was obvious. Pierce and Allen were also very valuable (obviously) but like Rip said he isnt the best on his team.

Pierce won the MVP b/c KG loves to defer, if he was a ballhog he would have won MVP no doubt, but he's far from the best in the league.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Far from? You can't name 10 players better than him...

 

[dez]

In no particular order

Kobe
LeBron
Paul
D12
KG
Duncan
AI
Nash
Wade
Stat
Deron Williams
T-Mac
Elton Brand
Brandon Roy

Those just off the top of my head , are all better then Pierce

This is the dumbest thing he's ever said just because you win one championship doesn't mean your better than everyone else. When you look at their team they could have replcaed Pierce with other people and gotten just as far. It would've been harder to replace KG with someone of his skillset than it would for PP. You could have gotten say Carmelo or D-Wade and most likely still won the championship.

 

[Pugz]

dez's list is correct..

+1

Nicely put, I agree 100% it would be MUCH harder to replace KG's role on the team, rather then Pierce's.

 

[RipCity32]

You forgot Melo dez, IMO at least.

 

[dez]

Yeah I forgot all about Melo.

 

[.snowy]

And Paul Pierce backs up why he is my most hated player.

 

[$tunna]

If Brandon Roy is on the list I think JJ deserves a spot to if anyone watch the series between the Hawks and Celtics
