How the fukk does Paul Pierce get his shot off???

[mbewane]

Skills/footwork/misdirection/pumpfakes/changes of speed. Basically, he's a very talented basketball player more than an "athlete".

I always wondered this...

Its all in his angles, positioning, and footwork ...

 

[Big Boss]

pp got that old man game

 

[KingJudah]

These idiots(black guys), would rather watch James white bounce above and grab on the rim like a munnnkeeyyyy, than watch Paul Pierce play

Idk who rather watch James White over PP White is trash

This is why sports in America are turning to shyt. All you dumb nikkas care about is athleticism. You couldn't give a shyt about actual real skill and fundamentals.

This dude (OP) mentioned his muscle definition or lack of

Like nicca is supposed to look like a superhero to be good in sports

This is why Bird doesn't get respect by the youth today because he doesn't have that athletic look.

Same reason why Duncan doesn't get the respect he deserves too.

Conversely, this is why people have overrated Dwight Howard as a legit superstar cause he looks like Steel

 

[madness]

a team full of paul pierce's would beat a team full of andre iguodala's by 20

which is one of the reasons 80s and 90s NBA > today's

Pierce is the Greg Maddux of basketball.

 

[Mr.Black]

[FTBS]

Its this silly little thing called being a good basketball player. I know crazy right?

Skill>>>>> athletsicm and aesthetics

See a potbellied Mike sonning MKG in one on one.

I admire Pierce's game. Always have. I don't even think his game is ugly.

If I had a choice I would take Pierces, Kobe's, Melo's, Birds, Olajuwons, or an older Jordan's game, offensive repertoire, and skill over Kyries, John Walls, Blake's, Lebrons, Durants, Westbrooks, or JR Smith's speed and vertical ability.

There is not much that I can learn from the new generation of players.

I know this sounds and

But...

 

[young3000]

That footwork and his mid range is probably one of the best in the game


go to local Y or gym and watch some older heads play

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Pierce is the Greg Maddux of basketball.

great analogy.

nikka said it's like playing defense against a Tempurpedic mattress

The Truth is that nikka man, he's got an incredibly crafty game stemming from mastery of fundamentals. He's not an explosive dude but he's still relatively quick. He knows how to turn it up and down, and combined with his footwork(really important factor right here), it's no wonder he can create space for any shot he wants. Dude might not be the same athlete he once was, but he's still one hell of a ball player.
