Paul Pierce is a hot name right now on social media. His contribution to the Celtics is what made him a legend of the game. One fierce competitor Pierce has always talked about is LeBron James. The 45-year-old has given James his flowers, but time and again has also shared some controversial takes on the scoring leader’s time with the Heat. James is not the only Heat legend Pierce has spoken out against, though.

It all started when Pierce started to compare himself with Dwyane Wade. Talking about the teammates both had, Pierce revealed Wade got more support. It is a fact that the 3x NBA champion had superstar teammates like LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, and Chris Bosh during his championship years. However, Pierce had his fair share of legendary teammates as well.

Pierce had Kevin Garnett, a former DPOY, and Ray Allen, one of the best shooters in NBA history. Moreover, Pierce mentioned, “My skills went unappreciated because I didn’t get to play with a lot of great players.” Nonetheless, he did win a championship alongside KG, Allen, and a few more key role players.?Guess who decided to blast Pierce for this??
