NBA Twitter Absolutely Destroyed Paul Pierce Over His LeBron James Take

 

Paul Pierce undoubtedly was a great NBA player. He amassed over 26,000 points during his career, was named on five All-NBA teams and has since had his number 34 jersey retired with both the Boston Celtics and University of Kansas.

‘The Truth’ is now a basketball analyst, but isn’t nearly doing as good of a job off the court and in front of the camera, compared to his on court heroics.

Ever since starting his second career, Pierce has a attracted attention with many controversial or even ridiculous takes on basketball topics. While there actually have been too many of these statements to list them all, his latest one has gone viral again.

Pierce discredited LeBron James’ career for ‘putting together’ teams in Miami and Cleveland to win championships, and did not include James in his all-time top five.

In the aftermath of the video, Pierce even doubled down on his statement and revealed that LeBron also wouldn’t make his Top 7!

As you can imagine, this has led to Pierce getting destroyed by NBA Twitter, who didn’t go easy on the 10-time All-Star – As always, the internet remained undefeated:
