This is how many blunts Paul smoked before this take. 👇🏾

LOL, nice

It's at 420. Coincidence? I think not.
Luh j lmao keep that number🤣
Paul Pierce is arguably the greatest player of NBA History...according to Paul Pierce
Thats in his own world, in his world, MJ don't have rings lmao.
LOL @ the "arguably"
Lmao
This is why players shouldn't be voting for players for the All Star team. The Commissioner has ruined the All Star selection process.

I keep coming back to this video for good laugh from time to time 😂😂😂
After he makes these types of statements, people seem to forget how good Paul Pierce really was
We know how good he was, but he wasn't greater than Wade.
@@chrismathgenius There's a legt argument to say he was. Wade was out of the first round without help, whereas Paul was taking teams to the eastern conference finals. Plus Paul was better than wade in crunch time cause he could kill you either at the rim or from outside. Also if you check the advanced stats, paul had 56% career true shooting percentage to Wade's 54% which is big difference. And Paul didn't try to win scoring titles, because he preferred to lead his team to wins and keep the ball moving, which is how he lead a starting lineup of antoine walker, kenny anderson, Tony Battie, Eric Williams and himself to the eastern conference finals.
@@kanajingly8957exactly! People all about hype, wade and Lebron etc it’s “cool” pierce destroyed both of em! Was doing crazy stuff before IG and twitter and all that
Paul still mad at Draymond saying he's not Kobe, and now he's mad that D Wade getting love from the young guys like Kobe..Paul is HIGH KEY JEALOUS😂😂
Cause paul was a hooper. Niggas talk about himlime he wasnt serving the fuxkin league. Thats shit is blasphemous
@@nosmalltalkpodcast5141 Its not that he wasn't serving the league. Its that he was not serving the league like kobe or wade. Not even close. Paul pierce and vince carter are on the same level. Very good, but not kobe or wade. Sorry
i agree. this guy is always hating on players who are evidently way better than him. d wade is on another level. paul pierce is on the level of bledsoe or reggie jackson
The funny part is Draymond has the utmost respect for Pierce. But Pierce was talking trash telling Blake that Draymond couldn't guard him and that he was weak. Which lead to Draymond retaliating lmfao.
Paul's been a hater!
Paul Pierce is Paul Pierce's biggest FAN
He is Kanye son except Kanye is a legend lol
Paul Pierce is Paul Pierce's ONLY fan.

Biggest and only fan.
That’s “The Truth”

You laughing like pierce is lying lol he did get shaq late. Shaq was a hot bum by the time he got shaq
Jess Blaze dumbass nigga
how does Pierce call Wade the 3rd best SG ever and then pick Iverson over him.. lmao
He must consider iverson a pg
Because Iverson was not a SG. He was a PG that played like a shooting guard. Much like Tim Duncan was considered a Power Forward who played as a Center.
I literally come back to watch this when i want a good laugh. Paul is hilariously delusional.
Timothy Barr • I watched it earlier because I needed a laugh😂😂😂
PAUL PIERCE THEY DONT LOVE YOU LIKE THAT
Thank you Draymond
Draymonds one true statement

Next time on NBA Countdown: Paul Pierce says he should win MVP this year
Lol. That was funny as fuck!
This man had a team with one of the best pure PG's in the league (probably the best at the time, it was him or CP3), a man that is considered one of the best PF's ever, probably the third best 3 point shooter in NBA HISTORY and he was called THE TRUTH, and he won ONE championship, acts like he had a legacy in the NBA.
Well he ran into Kobe and the LeBron Heat super team. Still has a great career
I’m going with Pierce. He never wore a dress
*Paul Pierce, The Soulja Boy of the NBA*
Nah he's alright, that'd be more like Kenny Smith lol
dyoussef92 😹
Nah soulja actually had some truth to what he was sayin (pun intended)
Rick Sanchez Fuck No That's Disrespect To Soulja Boy 😂 . Paul Pierce Was Never The Best Player Or Most Relevant Player In His Career At Least Soulja Been The Most Relevant Before 😂
😄😄😄😄😄😄
"You know the best person to ask? Ask Ray Allen what he thinks!" Jalen Rose is a fooool!😂😂😂
Don't forget about Shaq. He played with both players too.
ask rondo as well hahahahaha
Rondo played with both
When I heard that shit I laughed so fucking hard
Anyone here after he split ways with espn?
"i could probably get a layup against the lakers right now" LOL
Why he’s nicknamed the Truth is beyond me
I was going to reply but this comment killed it lol!!!
Well when he was in high school he was and his early years in the league but we had Kobes and T-Macs and AI's in the league then Lebron James came in the league
Shaq gave him that.
Aj Cope it’s a joke. Because Paul always has the worst opinions and takes on espn so he never be spittin facts so therefore he jokingly shouldn’t be called the truth.
It's like one of those opposite nicknames. Like when you call a big guy "tiny". 😂
The disrespect towards Wade is massive here.
I just rewatched the Game of zone finale and this came up after it lol
In my Mr. McDowell voice to Paul Pierce “ son if you want to continue to keep working here stay off the drugs” 😂
Why does Paul do this to himself!🤦🏽♂️🚮
😂😂😂
Grammar Police the views/popularity that come with the controversy. If Paul wasn’t co-hosting this show, and making trollish claims; would anyone really talk about him? He would be Gary Payton, just a guy you bring up as a good player, but not one of the absolute greatest.

As a youngin to now watching basketball evolve in the last 15-20 years, The Glove made playing D cool. AI revolutionized the crossover. Gonobli made the Eurostep famous. Harden revolutionized the Eurostep AND the step-back 3 and Curry revolutionized shooting 3’s in general. What did PP do again?

Damn good player, but I don't even think he's top 10 SF

Paul is correct. Only kids Under 40 think otherwise. They were in diapers and elementary school during his prime.
Lance Asuncion I mean the first 4 SFs are top 15 all time players 😂 (Bird Bron Dr J KD)
@@c.kizzee8961 Nah, he isnt. Boston fans prob think so tho
As a Celtics fan, if Pierce KG and Ray cliqued up at an earlier age they would have more than one ring 💯 He's right about that. He was one of the first players doing the step back. His was just slower like Lukas. And DeRozans mid range game does kind of mirror his. He made a few good points.
But if it’s prime vs prime. Heat big 3 beat Celtics big 3.
What is can’t help your 💩 ego.
@@ledestroyer2241the Celtics played better together ! No he’s not better than Wade but they probably could have gotten the Heat in Prime… KG was gone have a field day with Chris Bosh!

It's absolutely the Celtics. That trio fit together perfectly and like he said they pushed them to a game 7 while being in their mid 30s.
Chris Bosh was injured with an abdominal strain. Wade and Lebron gave them the business missing a key piece and still took it. Both of them ate that series too.
Okay but who won??
@@alainlamour5868 Celtics took it to them without a bench while they were in their mid 30s going up against 27-28 year old hall of famers. They also defended them really well. Blame Doc Rivers for the loss, coach Nick even did a video about it.
@@kanajingly8957 they actually lost in 5 when they were younger. They lost again in 7 when Bosh got injured and Wade and bron combined for like 70

yeah lol
Wade had a better career

A Poem "Wade has three rings Pierce has one Wade has a retirement tour Pierce didn't Nuff said" - A Flabbergasted Fan
Nah, Paul had a Farewell Tour. No one gave a fuck. I mean NO ONE!
christopher wilson lmao basically 😂
Wade did his own promotion for the farewell. Kobe had one like never before

Somebody needs to stop this man pierce bro fr 🤦♂️
Exactly !!
Man this gave me a head ache people just dont respect wade i didnt see pierce get off in the finals like wade did
He is correct saying Celtics big 3 were better and could win more in their prime. KG was in his 17th season the year Miami beat them in 7 games to go to the finals... I mean, they were waaaaay out of their prime ans still took Miami big 3 (prime) to 7 games.
'Wade or Zeke?" Paul: Wade has 3 chips so wade. "Wade or Pierce?" Pierce: Me even thou I only have 1. Alright bro!
Marvin M. McIntyre The fact you just said that shows how much u don’t know about basketball

John Zada III he actually doesn’t sound like that at all. Shaw was out of his prime and Wade had arguably the best finals performance in the history of the game.
John Zada III I didn’t say he wasn’t lol. I’m arguing the other guy tried to downplay Wade’s dominance in his championship run. Head and heel was the best player in that series

It's scary ... How is he that detached from reality
@Clutch7 Wade was never in his prime when he won rings with Lebron tho. 2011 was his last prime season & they lost that year. If he had been prime Wade afterwards they could've beat the spurs.
