Beating a 23 year old LeBron on a 45 win team is all that commendable now? Getting taken 7 on a “superteam” and having 45 put on ya head at that.

KG and Rondo ain’t carry Pierce to a win over LeBron while he averaged 13 and shot 34% now? :russ:

It’s called having a team.

Lebron is top 5 all time that’s not debatable where you put him in the top 5 is

I guess they were. Just look at the comment section. Skip was pressed too.
On another note dr.j summed it up perfectly.
I don't think we can have a definite top 5 list cause everyone's preference is different

Just do the 4 series while pierce was in boston. Pierce was a relic in new jersey

If lebron, wade, bosh, Pierce , KG and Ray were all 24 and they met in the playoffs for 7 straight years who would have the advantage?

Yeah this is it here. Plus the eliminations... This is why Paul Pierce will always harbor hate for Lebron no matter what. He got beat up by this dude for YEARS. It takes a big man to put that aside and give props. He's gonna struggle with that for eternity. He will be the 'Isiah Thomas' of Lebron's end of career documentary for sure.
