Bill Simmons: "Paul pierce was NEVER as popular as Isaiah Thomas is right now in Boston "

[WMG the 2nd]

said it in his recent podcast and I agree

Paul pierce was Boston jerry stackhouse famous and after he got stabbed wasn't willing that team to anything

Bill Simmons also said Kevin Garnett was more loved instantly and still is then Paul

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

if true that's just stupid lol

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I'm sure he would know

Weird ass city. Super liberal and super racist

 

[Da King]

I'm sure he would know

Weird ass city. Super liberal and super racist

You're naive if you don't think those cac liberals there aren't also racist

 

[Frump]

He's king of in the moment hyperbole.

Isiah is a nice little player but he's had one real good year and he's already a Celtic legend

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

You're naive if you don't think those cac liberals there aren't also racist

That's why I said it's weird

They're liberal about everything except black folks

 

[Da King]

That's why I said it's weird

They're liberal about everything except black folks

Cacs will always inherently hate black folks

 

[Lakerman0834]

i mean hes right KG was heart and soul of those teams. If kg and allen never came to boston hed be jerry stackhouse status

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

To be fair how popular was Paul really in general before the Big Three?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Too early to spin this narrative, BS

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Bill Simmons is an irrelevant old fool with a trash platform and embarrassingly biased opinions.

 

[lutha]

i can believe that for a couple reasons:

- his sister died, so people will care for/like you a lil more when something like that happens
- he's a lil guy..people tend to back/like lil guys more
- he's seen as more like able than pierce to the media, and that's the narrative they push

...with that said, all that shyt gonna go out the window when it's time to renegotiate his contract....he gonna be like 'but the city/fans like/love me', and they gonna hit him with 'yea, but we got swept by the cavs, so either take less money or we wish you the best in future en devours'...even the fans gonna change they tune and turn on him....that's why that 'loyalty' narrative they push for athletes to have for organizations/cities is bullshyt lol....

 

[the cool]

He's right. Paul pierce was never loved in Boston

 

[Wiles]

Are you serious?

 

[4-Rin]

That doesn't make any sense
