Melo is a great scorer, but that's the only thing he was great at.

PP was an all around player. Much better passer and facilitator, much better defender, better team player, and could still give you 25-30 a game consistently. Plus he was a winner.

PP all day.

Pierce, but melo is a baaaaaaaaad man

Pierce took the challenge on the defensive end and was a better shooter than the legend, yall just my sons like carmleo.

Paul pierce had a better career and was a better all around player. Me lo came to the league with more hype and a much bigger fan base due to his early rivalry with Bron. At one poimt bron and melo were supposed to be the new magic vs bird rivalry. Melo was never a winner like paul pierce or scored as easily as paul pierce did. Never seen someone who lacked not only elite athletic ability but even above average athleticism be able to get anywhere he wants on the floor and score.

/thread. nikkas trying to rewrite history for one dimensional ass Melo.

Pierce has the the most game winners jumpers + game winning assists all time. I don’t know why this is a comparison. Pierce could score as much as Melo and facilitate an offense on a different level.

fukk Paul Pierce :pacspit:


If Kevin McHale doesn't gift Ainge with KG, nobody is even talking about punk ass pierce. When he was the best player on the team, they had losing seasons and early playoff exits.

Benzino should've finished the job that night in the club :demonic:

Pierce. Yall see what he did for the Wizards :wow:

Man is John Wall didn’t get, Pierce would’ve helped them young boys get to the ECF. :wow:

I went to see The wizards vs the Knicks.. that year.. couldn’t believe how a 37 year old Paul Pierce(5-10fg 17pts 5rebs 3ast 2blks 2stls 0TO) outplayed 30 year old Carmelo Anthony(8-23fg 18pts 6rbs 3asts 0blks 1stl 7TO)

So what that doesn’t mean shyt here as pierce had a very quick first step himself and was strong.

unlike melo he had a 40 inch very to go with it. Pierce was the better athlete
Explosiveness...north-south speed...fluidity... agility...reflexes...body control.
Nobody except you has every said Paul Pierce was a better athlete than Carmelo.

Also, was Melo some kind of superior athlete that Pierce couldn’t be labeled as more athletic? We talking about LeBron or we talking about fat Melo? :dahell:
Like homie said Pierce’s first step was lethal and he was crazy atheletic despite his body type.
