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

[Johnny Kilroy]

Maybe they don't find the 5'-9" Isaiah as physically intimidating.

 

[The_Third_Man]

isn't Isiah Thomas black too?

 

[Columbo]

Shows how stupid those Irish micks are

 

[Bob Loblaw]

wasn't Paul basically T-Mac before the Big 3, in terms of not being able to do shyt in the playoffs if they made it?

The truth made it to the ECF before the big 3 so no he wasn't TMac

Paul Pierce had stans when I was growing up in the DC area. Other than Kobe and AI obviously Pierce, McGrady, Carter were the most popular wing players before Lebron, Wade, and Melo came into their own.

Feels like McGrady and Carter were more popular

 

[Boolean]

Kelly Olynyk more popular than both them nikkas combined anyway

 

[Piff Huxtable]

was he even more popular than Toine ?

there are less deserving numbers hanging in the Fleet Center rafters than number 8 GOAToine Walker

Boston needs to fix that quick

 

[The God Poster]

@Spud34 bout to come in & all y'all

Spoiler

Pierce would be an afterthought had the Big 3 not formed tho . Nothing about his career/achievements were memorable up to that point

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

These are the fukking idiots everyone gets their info from



Paul Pierce could walk anywhere in Boston and get David Ortiz type love

 

[Rigby.]

What he's saying doesn't seem wrong from the outside

It seems like mass media and most online sports fans associate KG with the championship more than anybody, and that's really all the majority cares about when it comes to Boston

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Paul Pierce started his career in beantown, gave his all to beantown, and managed to win a title for beantown.

Yall stupid af if you think isiah gets more love




You can tell who barely started watching basketball when Lebron joined Miami

 

[Trojan 24]

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

Cac version of Bomani, fade on sight for both

 

[FcKuPaYmE]

Yall gotta be joking. They love Pierce in Boston.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

How many years did PP special day in Boston? Brought one Ship to Boston as well and IT is more loved there? How long has IT been in Beantown and what has he done on the court there?

I will say this, if the Big 3 never formed Paul Pierce would prolly be the least remembered as KG would still have his MVP and Ray Allen would still break the 3-point record
