Paul Pierce has once again drawn the ire of NBA fans for making negative comments about LeBron James.
After the Lakers took a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Nuggets, Pierce went on a tirade about how teams these days are afraid of LeBron unlike his Celtics team of the 2010’s.

Pierce, once said he wouldn’t put LeBron in his all-time top 5, was immediately mocked by NBA fans for his take.

LeBron dominated this man. He didn't always beat his team. But LeBron James beat the shit out of Paul Pierce and he couldn't do shit to stop him. https://t.co/u0I9b3DfoS

Paul Pierce’s two main roles on ESPN are to:
1. Wear bad suits
2. Remind us that his Celtics teams eliminated the Cavs twice— El Presidente of Griselda Records (@el_budget) September 26, 2020

Paul Pierce’s career is remembered as slightly better than Joe Johnson’s if Kevin McHale doesnt gift Danny Ainge, Kevin Garnett
Guy talks like he ran the Eastern Conference for a decade
The mid 2000s Pistons are the ones who should talk as much as those Boston teams

I am so tired of Paul Pierce thinking that him and lebron had this amazing rivalry. He was not even remotely in the same stratosphere as lebron. Glad to know bron is living absolutely rent free in Pierce’s head though. https://t.co/exwU56buPu
