Paul Pierce says he was Lebrons greatest rival : "who sent him to Miami?"

[GunRanger]

Pierce choked more with the big3 than he won. His game 6 performance was despicable

 

[klientel]

I’ll give you a pass because you’re probably some ignorant kid who didn’t watch 00s basketball.

I like how people act like Pierce was some role player.
LeBron-“my rival was a hall of fame player who played the same position and the same conference”
Coli clown-“LeBron wouldn’t say that”

That was 6 years ago and of course he would have NEVER given Durant the satisfaction of saying he’s his rival back then. The same way Durant dismisses Bron when he talked about Kobe MJ and Kyrie being on another level. He knew what he was doing. These dudes been sending subliminal shots at each other for years

He only mentioned Pierce because he would never say a player is on his level and Boston was the only TEAM besides the Spurs that posed a threat to him. Pierce just got that nod by default.

Since he left Miami he’s been getting fukked up by GSW and Durant and that’s the main reason why he couldn’t win more than once in Cleveland. Durant going to GSW basically made him give up on the east and head to the Lakers. It literally ended his chance of catching MJ.

His legacy will be defined by the Warriors running him outta the East and blocking him from winning. That Celtics shyt was nothing.

When Bron retires nobody will care about the 2 years PP was relevant against Bron. It will be about Bron and KD going back and forth for best player in the world and building super teams.

Paul pierce got whored by draymond on national television, he sat there and shut his mouth and didn’t say one word back

Since then he’s been real insecure about his place. U know he is jealous as fukk at the love wade and dirk are getting, cuz he didn’t get a honorary spot in the all star game or nothin

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

let it go paul

you don't have to be part of every story,it's like dude does 6 degrees of paul pierce

thats his schtick, while i think he believes this particular take, some of his truth serum takes is pretty tongue in cheek (at least to me) lol

Paul gonna be all in his feelings if VC gets the same retirement tour love.

PP is right...he used to own Lebron back in the day. If you ever hooped there always was that one dude you would struggle with defensively for whatever reason. PP was that to Lebron.

Used to own Lebron? Which seasons were that? I’m curious

 

[Greenhornet]

I guess nikkas is really young

Paul Pierce was one of the first to go at and bark on Lebron actively

he didnt completely destroy him, but he was the man that opened the door for the rest of the league to run that train

 

[XannyWarbucks]

They did . Then that 2012 Game 6 came...

 

[wtfyomom]

PP trying to up his standing

2010 cavs celtics. Pierce was just 32yo and averaged 24-8-4 on 51/45/84 against the magic in the ECF that year so you can't claim he was falling off like that.


Game 1

LeBron: 35-7-7, 12-24 from the field
Pierce: 13-2-3, 5-17 from the field


Game 2

LeBron: 24-7-4, 7-15 from the field
Pierce: 14-4-4, 4-10 from the field


Game 3

LeBron: 38-8-7, 14-22 from the field
Pierce: 11-4-3, 4-15 from the field


Game 4

LeBron: 22-9-8, 7-18 from the field
Pierce: 9-2-2, 3-8 from the field


Game 6

LeBron: 27-19-10, 8-21 from the field
Pierce: 13-5-3, 4-13 from the field


Yeah, Pierce "sent LeBron to Miami" alright.

The ONLY game in the series where Pierce even looked competitive was Game 5, when Mike Brown put LeBron on Rondo in the first half instead (LeBron shut down Rondo but Pierce went off). Other than that LeBron SHUT DOWN Pierce all series long while killing him on offence.

 

[Mad Good Dro]

LeBron never dominated Durant.
Durant avg 30+ on LeBron in the finals and got his average PPG or more in every meeting they had. When a nikka can average more against you than he does against everyone else, you sure as fukk ain't dominating him.

So do stats matter when you lose or they dont? which is it?

nikka shut up and stop moving the goal post. You said Lebron would never say Pierce was his biggest rival. But Lebron has in fact said it on camera. I don’t care about any of the other bullshyt you posted. Admit you fukked up and get the fukk outta this thread.

You probably never seen a Bos vs Cavs game before the big 3.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

And Pierce's rival is Benzino who left him with as many holes as Celtics have championships.

"Benzino make you finito"

low key had the second best verse after Sheek on the track

 

[TaxCollector13459]

So you want the whole team younger? I just mentioned the stars and Wade was in year 8 smack in his prime. If you don’t getcho

Wade was/ is the only one missing his meniscus

At the end of the day all anyone remember is LeBron versus curry in the finals for 4 straight years

it's Steph, nobody has made Lebron be so demonstrative on the court. Curry gets under Lebron's skin like no other player in the history of the NBA does and he beats him. LeBron's counter is that he instructs his entire team to not let Curry have anything easy and it's prevented Steph from ever getting FMVP despite beating LeBron 3 to 1.
