Melo vs Paul Pierce

[ePiffany]

P and it ain't close. Outplayed Kobe in pivotal moments in that game where Boston came back from -20. Even blocked his fade away once.

Better shot selection, no over dribbling and executed at a high level with relatively little athleticism. Especially for his position.

Wait someone thought Paul Pierce was a 2

But in all seriousness , few years after he was drafted it seemed like Melo would have a Pierce career trajectory.

Times running out for Chubby Answer

I remember how folks slandered Paul the SAME EXACT WAY before KG came to town.....

Pierce is better all around but Melo is clearly the better scorer

And I love pierce.


Carmelo is still an all time great.

Who's the better to player to you? You think Melo could have won a title with KG and Ray Allen?

Let a Prime Pierce play in this watered down era; nikka would average 33 7 7

Pierce is greater than melo in every facet of the game

Not true; Pierce was a actual scorer; while Melo is a streaky hot cold volume shooter

The early 2000's was pure heat!

Pierce's willingness to pass and defend make him better overall. But Melo would've won on that Celtics team. KG wouldn't be having no lazy shyt.

KG would have strangled Melo ass within 40 games of playing with him.....Not to mention Melo aint been the same since that Honey nut Cheerios comment; imagine a weak minded nikka like Melo listening to KG's shyt day in and day out

This is corny Boston homerism that sometimes ruins this board.

Thanks bruh I forgot to + this in my initial post. Pierces scoring was consistent quarter 2 quarter, game 2 game. Melo would phuck around and drop 40 1 night then 11 the next on like 27 % shooting but would. not. stop. shooting. He didn't really contribute elsewhere so if he wasn't scoring he was shyt.

Melo is more dynamic than Pierce. Pierce isn't seeing peak Melo...

Pierce had the luxury of playing on those great Boston teams with KG, Allen, and Rondo before that his reputation wasn't bulletproof like it seems to be now.

Don't sleep on his sentiment brotha. Just look at the 4's in the West alone who were in they prime; KG, Sheed, Webb, Dirk and of course Timmy.

This is b4 we even get to Shaq / Kobe,
T-Mac, Vince and A.I.

You could really call it either way don't b so immediately dismissive.

Im actually from Brownsville; and the truth is that boy aint been playing right or consistent since that comment

Don't play this game. KD and PP have never even been in the same stratosphere. PP has an argument over a lot of his contemporaries like T-Mac and VC because of a ring but definitely not KD

Playoffs matter. Pierce has a Finals MVP. KD has a finals choke job
