Paul Pierce defends why he ranks himself above Dwyane Wade: “I didn’t have the luxury of playing with a lot of Hall of Famers in my prime”

[Street Knowledge]

“Of course, D-Wade is a three-time NBA champion and Finals MVP, got more accolades,” Pierce stressed. “But when I look at it, I think I was a more versatile player. Played more positions. Could do a little more out on the court. More longevity. And I didn’t have the luxury of playing with a lot of Hall of Famers in my prime. But shoutout to D-Wade, he’s one of the greats. I’m not taking anything from him.”

Why P keeps pointing out Wade? I thought Bron was his “rival”.

Wade had more All-NBA selections (five; Pierce had four total), including two First Teams (Pierce had none), before LeBron and Bosh went to South Beach.

He got shaq in his second season , that’s better than anyone pierce had. The best teammate pierce had was twan and wade ended up playing with him too
Not even that I agree with Paul, but let’s just be honest here about who wade played with.

You acting like 40-50 games per season 17 ppg, 7-8 reb Shaq was Lakers or Orlando Shaq. Yes he had pockets of former brilliance but those pockets were not FUBU pockets

We use this argument for other stars when we compare them. Pierce is just playing by the rules that have already been established.

p² got irrational confidence & it's making him a natural internet troll aHA*

Headband like other members of the 08 Boston team, are OD:ing on talking themselves into the history books and their legacy.

From the looks of it, it just screams insecurity.

Wade is a top 5 player at the position ever. Lay of the Henny Paul.

Pierce was better than Wade at every aspect of the game. And didn't need PEDs or the refs to bail him out

Because he knows he won't win that battle. So he goes to Wade.
