    Pierce on of them Reggie Miller type ? , a star but not a superstar.

    i see wat ur sayin but I take Pierce> Reggie Pierce has twice da all-star apperances is a betta rebounder, playmaker nd defender



    I agree, he is better than Miller. Pierce just isn't one of those flashy player like a Kobe, Lebron, Wade,etc, so he will never get his due.

    exactly its no ? reason Rudy ? only has 1 40 point game in his career he's too talented to be dat passive. A 34 year old Pierce dropped more 30+ scorin games then Rudy did last year plus without lookin I kno his assist are higher rebounds idk ? might have him on dat RD just trollin lol

    if you have an all-time celtic's line up you'd have to throw pierce at the 2-guard. in a way pierce's game personifies everything about the celtics. not flashy, effecient,consistant, historical, I mean he played college ball at kansas a school with a lot of basketball history if you go way back and then he played for the same nba team his entire career, aside from all that he's always looked a little slow out there, jumps just high enough to be able to jam on someone but he still manages to play at a very high level. some people have skills and no heart but paul has more heart than skill.

    Not sure where his ranking is, but even today Pierce's footwork can only be rivaled by Kobe....obviously hes passed his prime but still can ball....even tho he looks to draw the foul as soon as he touches the ball....from his dribble to his shot attempt, he always got that look on his face like ? fouling him..him and VC got that dribble-flop down pat....besides that, he is quite the crafty scorer, hits big shots, plays defense, hes a champion and put in that work for years so he gets the utmost respect from a non celtic fan...

    so many ridiculous statements in dis quote idk if u serious or trollin. lmao @ Danny ? Granger being on Paul Pierce's level he was neva as good nd a 34 year old Pierce STILL ? on Granger. Granger has 0 playmaking skills, shoots more 3's then drives nd is a wack rebounder for someone 6'9 please gtfoh wit these underachieving small forwards mentioning them wit Pierce
