Nah, that's ridiculous. Dirk was an MVP, a top 5/10 player in the league for years and without question is a top 20 player ever. Pierce was great, but he was never in Dirk's league. That's insulting.

That's revisionist history and you can easily name 20 players better than Dirk. Throughout Dirk's career, Dirk was never looked at as being miles above Paul Pierce. That 2011 season, everything just went right for him but, it's a lie to pretend like he was this big time player. Paul was the leader of those 2008 - 2010 Celtic squads and in each of their bouts with LA, Paul was checking Kobe and the main one on the Celtics answering back with big shot after big shot. Draymond is a 4th option player talking trash to someone that was constantly a 1a or 1b player throughout his career.

Don't talk shyt about somebody's legacy when you pale in comparison. Even worse, he used another man's legacy to down someone else in his own profession. shyt is bytch-made fam

Aint no rules in talking shyt fam.

Tyson told Lewis he wanted to eat his kids. It dont get no worse than that.

Im glad somebody spoke on that shyt. Dirk and Pierce were neck and neck career wise before Dirk won that MVP. :salute:

The guy that's 7th in all time scoring was never a big time player:gucci:

How old are you before we start? I don't want to waste time talking to someone that's 21.

That poster I quoted made it sound like Dirk was out of Paul Pierce's league. Both those dudes got rings so I don't understand his logic. And neither were true superstars (just above average players). At no point in the 2000s was Dirk on that level. Anybody who tells you that is LYING. Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Melo, Duncan, Garnett, Shaq, AI, T-Mac, Vince. Those were the true superstars back then. Dirk won in 2011 and people have started to retcon his playing career like he was in that group when he wasn't. The same way you look at Steve Nash, that's how people looked at Dirk Nowitzki before he won his ring. So this idea that he was miles better than Paul Pierce is laughable.

Its funny how the narratives always change. Just like how everybody will tell you now that Russell Westbrook has always been better than D Rose when back in 2011, people got clowned for thinking Russ was in Rose's league. People would have chosen Garnett, Duncan and possibly Amare back then (people thought Amare still had potential) over Dirk so this idea that Dirk is so good he can't be compared to Paul Pierce is very weird and reeking of revisionism.

Of course, but not all trash talking is equal. Draymond talking down on Paul Pierce looks dumb. And using Kobe to do it is bytch made.

It's like I'm a better fighter than you, so you start talking about how I'm not Floyd Mayweather.

What the fukk am I reading? Dirk made the All-NBA first team 2 times before he even won the MVP in 07 and was on it 4 times before he won the ring in 2011. Dirk made the All-NBA team 11 times, finished 9 times in the top 10 in MVP voting and finished 3 times in the top 3.

Now compare that to Pierce who made the All-NBA team 4 times and never made the first team. Finished top 10 ten in the MVP voting once. Saying Dirk wasn't considered a better player than Pierce throughout their careers is revisionist history. How you are going to list Melo and Carter higher than Dirk when they weren't even better than Pierce?

Pierce was underrated throughout his career. A lot of fans foolishly ranked players like Melo, Carter etc over him. But at no point was Pierce better than Dirk or was in the same league as him.

I don't care what you talking about....wasn't nobody back in the 2000s saying no Dirk Nowitzki was better than Paul Pierce. And even if they were, they weren't being so disrespectful to Paul Pierce to act like they weren't comparable. Dirk was more on Paul Pierce's level than he was on Kobe and Lebron's level. You're putting Dirk on the pedestal because of his 2011 Championship. Back in the 2000s, Dirk was looked at as a Euro player who couldn't win and was too soft to bang in the post. Now all of sudden he was this big time superstar that was top 5 in the league. No. He wasn't. Stop rewriting history.

They saying Piru P ain't from the hood.:mjcry:


On another note what the hell is Doc doing with Pierce? He can't any playing time now? Dude was helping the Wizards get into the second round and now he can't get off the bench on a depleted Clippers squad?
He's beyond washed up breh.. He can't do nothing out there anymore:francis:

And btw Draymond Green's stats in last year's playoffs while Curry was out:

1st Round vs Rockets Game 2:
12 points, 14, rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 blocks

1st Round vs Rockets Game 3:
9 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal

1st Round vs Rockets Game 5:
15 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal

2nd Round vs Blazers Game 1:
23 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal

2nd Round vs Blazers Game 2:
17 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal

2nd Round vs Blazers Game 3:
37 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block, 1 steal


So in those 6 games he averaged 18 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal :stopitslime:

8 assists a game without Curry or Durant :scust:
A near triple double :picard:
This shyt makes me both mad and :mjcry: that Bulls didn't draft him.

there's rules to making yourself look silly while talking trash, but as someone who calls himself "the nig", you probably have plenty of experience with that.
I've had this name since I was 19. I'm a straight forward pragmatic thinker. I don't like to over-complicate things.
