SMH he had another All Star and 20+ scorer on his team with Antoine Walker. He wasn't a one man team

He had Antoine walker for the most part right?

Walker was inefficient as shyt and didn't accomplish shyt after he left despite not being old
Trash posting 101.. Pierce played with garbage for the majority of his prime. The best player he ever played with was a low efficiently 3 point shooting power forward.

I hate when dudes try to give props while giving back handed comments.

Out of all 1-man teams Pierce had the least amount of talent around him. When he had decent help, he went to the eastern conference finals. Foh.
You quoted the wrong guy I think

Na I just interpreted your post as a slight to Pierce.. you described his situation perfectly. Those early 00s Celtics rosters were full of D leaguers.

Pierce didn't accomplish shyt without Walker.

All Pierce did was lead the Celtics to lottery appearances when he didn't have a fellow All Star on his team

Bro are you retarded? Can you name any notable players Pierce played with in the early and mid 00s beside Antoine Walker? You realize he played with D leaguers?

Go back and look at the rosters Paul Pierce played on vs the rosters of his all star wing peers. Kobe, Wade, Melo, Carter, T-Mac, Allen and Iverson all had better supporting cast than Pierce. Freaking T Mac had Yao Ming for crying out loud while Pierce had Mark Blount smdh. Vince Carter had J Kidd and RJ while Pierce had Wally Sczbeiak and Ricky Davis smdh.

SMF and LAX to VA and NC
Russell
Bird
PP
Mchale
Hondo

I dont know that I'd put him over Hondo, who won championships with two different iterations of the C's, was a demonstrably better defender than Pierce, had a greater all-around game than Pierce, and played at a level in the '69 Finals than Pierce ever reached...

He can def be argued as the 5th greatest Celtic but that isnt a lock...

Bron
Bird
KD
Leonard
Pippen
Melo
Nique

Just 7 off the top, no order.

Elgin Baylor, John Havlicek, Julius Erving, Rick Barry. Anyone who has Pierce as a Top 5 three is either intentionally shytting on guys who were better than him, or they are involuntarily ignorant of basketball history...

Its hard for Pierce to crack the Top 10 for small forwards, he isnt coming anywhere close to Top 5. He's a deserving Hall player, though...
