Paul Pierce gets far too much hate and is overlooked by modern fans.

Ignore his career as an analyst, this is about the basketball player Paul Pierce. He has some very wild takes, and him calling himself better than Dwyane Wade is just wrong.

10 time all star, 4 time all NBA, NBA champion, finals MVP, 75th anniversary team, Hall of Fame, and an incredible college career. He could get a bucket from anywhere, one of the best three level scorers in league history, and he was able to do that despite being relatively unathletic for an NBA player. He was also famously extremely clutch, even in his washed post-Celtics years. They called him The Truth for a reason. That nickname was given to him by Shaq of all people after he dropped 42 on the 2001 Lakers. He gets some hate for only winning a ring when he was given a super team with KG, Allen, and Rondo, but I don't think people realize how awful the Celtics were before the Big 3 was formed. Paul Pierce absolutely carried them. And there's a reason he was the Finals MVP over KG. Yes, he pooped his pants during a finals game, but we've all been there 😂.
