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”

[King Poetic]

That Wade 06 finals was unbelievable and that playoff run

People remember the 06 Finals of DWade going to the free throw line at a record pace....hate or love it- real foul calls or not..that's what people remember about those Finals..

Dude free throw attempts in 6 games was 95..

His lowest for a game was 9..
9, 10, 14, 18, 21, 25...average was 16.5..

His other nickname was DWhistle..

 

[MJ Truth]

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

Shaq could have been MVP the first season they played together, and Dallas built their whole game plan around guarding Shaq when Wade went in during the Finals the next year.

Paul Pierce is an insufferable buffoon.

 

[VegetasHairline]

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

In 09, Wade was 1st team All-NBA, lead the league in scoring, finished 3rd in MVP voting

with Udonis Haslem as his #2

That to me is way more impressive than any year Pierce had individually

 

[etrofllenrod504]

I think it’s more impressive to shine with a team full of HOF. To be the best guy amongst others that’s considered great in their own right is more impresssive, then being the best amongst scrubs

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

Say it louder for the people in the back. D Wade played with an MVP caliber Shaq, Bron and Bosh before he turned 30 years old.

People really comparing 30+ Pierce to sub 30 Wade. Foh

@bigboss thank you for bringing me here

 

[stepbackj34spud]

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

If Wade played SF, he wouldnt be a top 5 SF alltime. After Jordan and Kobe, that list is incredibly weak.

yeah it's not like PP didn't play with ray allen and KG

The key word is prime, moron. Pierce didnt play with these guys until after age 30.

Wade was playing with a top 10 player alltime since his 2nd year in the league. Smh.

 

[Goat poster]

No

Just No

Paul Pierce was a better Shooter and that's it.

Wade was better in every other way AND had the better career.

 

[Reggie]

No one who watched these two play takes these hot takes from Pierce seriously. Paul was nice with it but he's putting himself on a level that he just wasn''t on during real time.
