Paul Pierce on LeBron James


      Paul Pierce who came in the league before LeBron had some words to say about LeBron. Before I get to what Paul Pierce said. I have a few statements and history between these two players. It started a while ago. LeBron was playing for the Cavaliers before they had Love or Kyrie. LeBron was always beaten by Paul Pierce and his Boston Celtics team. The Celtics were always like the "Big Brother" to the Cleveland Cavaliers when it was just LeBron running the team under horrible coaching. LeBron alway fell short against the Celtics in the playoffs. In the 2009-10 Season LeBron left the Cavaliers to South Beach after falling to Celtics in the playoffs. Even when LeBron went to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach the Celtics were still the "Big Brother." Paul Pierce was always a rivalry for LeBron. Paul Pierce never let LeBron win easily. LeBron never let Pierce win easily also. NBA fans should know that. This was the rivalry everyone wanted to watch. Pierce had built superstars like Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo. When the Celtics played whatever team LeBron was on either the Heat or the Cavaliers it was like they hated each other. They played intense and each team wanted to win badly. But, you get the point that I am trying to make. Now, this is what Paul Pierce had to say about LeBron James, "I think a lot of it is really misunderstood. If I see LeBron walking down the street, it's not going to be no fistfight. I've got a lot of respect for him. It's like fighting for the same girl. How am I going to be cool with that guy? I've got total respect for him as a person. It's just the thing we go through on the court." These two have respect for each other and both are going to be Hall of Famers for sure. That is without a doubt. It is still kind of a rivalry when these two meet during the season or playoffs. They never doubt each other and know it is going to be a tough night guarding each other. So, if you never saw Paul Pierce and LeBron rivalry then you should watch when these two meet. If you do not think they are any where close to being on each others playing level then Youtube the history between them. You will see.
