All season long Pierce, nicknamed “The Truth”, has been pissing people off on the Internet with his opinions. Tonight, the former Celtics great took aim at Dwyane Wade during a segment on NBA on ESPN.

Michelle Beadle: Dwyane Wade or Paul Pierce Who is the better NBA player?
Paul Pierce: That’s easy, that’s me. If you give me Shaq, if you give LeBron. If you give me these guys early in my career. You give me these guys at 24-25 and I would be sitting here with five or six championships easy.
NBA Twitter was not feeling Pierce’s thoughts on Wade and let him know about it.
