If anybody else in the league said it, all of the Pierce ball-washers on this board would be laughing at that player for providing bulletin board material for the entire league next season. You don't think that that comment is going to be brought up in a Game 7 next year against Cleveland or L.A., maybe on their court?
With that said, he has a right to live it up. But please, tone it down about a notch or three.
And getting stopped for driving under the influence of something is not a petty matter. For crying out loud, grow up. The risk he is taking is not of getting fined, but of making a serious mistake that could hurt other people physically in addition to himself.
I can garensheed that if Grant Hill said what p2 said everyone would be like, "Oh Grant is so right about being confident, what a great guy, did you hear he listed his starting five as the top 5 players in the nba? wow Grant Hill, what a guy...."
First things first, he named his starters as his "favorite" players, not the top 5 players in teh NBA. A little different, but a great answer nonetheless.
Secondly, some players would never say they are the best player in the league. Some would... Arenas, and now PP come to mind. If Grant said what Paul did in his prime, I would have been shocked first, and annoyed second.
But that's just me.
