  12. is Paul Pierce a Top TEN/10 SF of all-time?

    Are we talking about a season here or a career and Greatness? And I never did think Tracy McGrady was ever special and same for Allen Iverson. Both are just high volume scorers that have done nothing except win scoring titles in their careers. People are love in with them because of their stats and flash.

     

    Pierce's resume is above Dominique's at this point. He was the closer for the 2008 Celtics team. Arguably the best player at the very least the 2nd best player on the team. I've also heard many many times that Pierce outplayed Kobe in the Finals, but that is just an opinion.

     

    Sadly, Dominique's highlight in the playoff was Game 7 in 1988 and the 2nd round of the playoffs....That's telling you something. People constantly use excuses for players who failed to win, saying oh well his teammates were garbage, etc.....

     

    I love how people take away Pierce's credibility as a player by using the Big Three, but nobody ever takes away Charles Barkley's credibility as a player even though he played with Clyde Drexler and Hakeem in one year and Hakeem and Pippen in the other.

     

    I love how people diminish greatness when somebody wins not when somebody loses.

     

    ftw

    The furthest Pierce went, he went with Antoine Walker...and both put up nearly the same identical numbers (scoring, rebounding, assists and field goal percentage) in that playoff run. Walker shot better, Pierce scored 1-2 more points, assists and rebounds were nearly the same.

     

    Pierce wasn't going to do anything without Garnett. Garnett wasn't going to do anything without Pierce. Neither were going to do anything without Ray Allen.

     

    All three needed each other to get to the NBA Finals. Three superstars (not all-stars), three future Hall of Famers.

     

    Let's not make Pierce out to be better than he really is. For the one time he got to the ECF's, he had many struggles since he was drafted.

     

    What I dont get is why "Needing KG" hurts Pierce's legacy but "Needing Pierce" doesn't hurt KG's?

    Wilkins also didn't have Garnett, Ray Allen, Rondo and Perkins on his team. He was better than Pierce.

     

    What do you mean "I don't need to say much" regarding Dantley? Do you know what he accomplished? He was a multiple-time all-star (couldn't tell you how many times), won ROY, had maybe the highest career field goal percentage of any non-center (of all-time), is top ten on the all-time scoring list the last time I looked, had 3-4 consecutive 30+ PPG seasons, and he was a very good player.

     

    English was also putting up excellent field goal percentages (over 50% for his career, I believe), and he's a 25k scorer over the decade and a half he played.

     

    If Pierce hadn't won a championship with Garnett and Allen, this wouldn't even be a discussion. Pierce has never played good defense (I even followed the guy when he was a Jayhawk, and he wasn't that great of a defender in college), and he only started playing it this last season, just as Ray Allen magically did, because guards and forwards were reluctant to drive with Garnett and Perkins in the paint. It's what you see with Turkoglu and Shard, who both have a ton of trouble defensively, but have it easy with Howard in the way.

     

    Just 2-3 years ago, people were asking if McGrady was on the top ten list, and how much better he was than Pierce. It's funny how the tides turn so quickly once a guy wins a title with two other future HOF'ers.

     

    Teams back then in the early 2000's with Pierce running the show ALWAYS over achieved due to who?... PIERCE. he always took those Celtic teams FARTHER then they were supposed to go, ALWAYS. he never choked in the playoffs EVER. Every time Pierce's teams have lost in the playoffs it was vs teams they were SUPPOSED to lose too. I mean come on Walter McCarty, Eric Williams, Rodney Rodgers, Tony Delk, Kenny Anderson and them were solid players but do you really think they were types of guys you want to build around your star to win a title..... PLEASE....... Pierce always was EVERYTHING for the Celtics. Kevin Garnett was always EVERYTHING for the Timberwolves and where did KG go without PIERCE?? He went to the SAME LEVEL PIERCE DID which was the conference finals. So does that take away from Kevin Garnett's legacy because he didn't win anything without Pierce? no it doesn't, so it shouldn't for Pierce.

    You can but you gotta be reasonable with it. I don't see alot of people of going for it alot anyway because it isn't as easy as 09 where you can just qb sneak it and get an automatic first down.

     

    Aright sounds good. Yo I dont like that Simming user vs CPU idea. I will have like a lot of simmed games if nobody picks the Rams or Seahawks

  23. Why is ur fave player ur fave

    Simple as that. Why did you choose that one player out of so many out there as ur favorite.

     

    Paul Pierce is my favorite player because around the time i started watching bball, he and Antoine were all we had. However, i just liked Pierce more for some reason. Probably because of his style of play.

     

    Well, not much to say for me lol, so what about your fave player ;)
