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

[Stress Welker]

Isaiah has become somewhat of a folk hero in Boston. Casuals love his story. Last pick in the draft, 6th man becomes starter, goes on to average close to 30, he's 5'9 and just lost his sister. He makes for a great human interest story.

Bill Simmons living on the west coast out of touch though.

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

This.


Jason terry is more loved in dallas than Paul pierce is in Boston

Simmons doesn't even live in Boston anymore.

He often gets caught up in the moment because it's a nice story.

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

at managed to win a title for Beantown


He can thank KG and Ray for the bolded. He was nowhere near bringing a title to Boston before those 2 came to town

I get it cause personality matters ALOT when it comes to fans and it has nothing to do with racism etc
Philly fans, both white and BLACK, liked TO more than McNabb almost instantly. Embiid was liked way more than say Andre Iguadala ever was BEFORE he ever played a single game, etc. shyt like that. it is what it is
don't seem like PP has any personality, IT either if i'm being honest but he has that whole normal sized thing going for him that the average person can identify with

PHILLY FANS BOOED MCNABB ON DRAFT DAY.
THEY NEVER LIKED HIM
AND NEVER WANTED TO BE WRONG ABOUT IT.

LIKING A BLACK QB AND BLACK WR
ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.

Those two didn't win rings before they all teamed up either. This wasn't Miami where Wade had one up on lebron

Uhhh yea he does

They talk about his three over Lebron in game 4 of the finals like Kirk Gibsons homer


It goes Dirk, Rolando Blackmon, Jason terry,


Top 3 most loved mavs of all time

 

[Muzion]

Simmons was caping hard for IT 2 years ago because of his killer instinct, he's probably the least surprised Celtic fan of his prowess in the 4th Q.

at the end of the day, KG and Ray came to Boston to play on Paul Pierce team, not the other way around

Cause McHale decided to hook up his homeboy Ainge by gift wrapping him KG

 

[OG Talk]

I'm sure he would know

Weird ass city. Super liberal and super racist

White folks that are super liberal being super racist actually isn't that weird. It's pretty much the norm.
