Seriously, Larry was one of the least humble players in the history of sports. How many people have the cojones to go into the locker room at the All-Star 3pt contest, and ask his other competitors "Who is going to finish second" and MEAN it.

I don't like LeBron, I never did from day one. But, he genuinely seems to be a fan of Pierce. Kobe gets along with Pierce as well. I believe it was revealed late during the post season last season that he and Pierce workout together or with other NBA players in the off-season in California. In Los Angeles, I think. Funny, how Pierce is cool with players I can't stand or I'm not a fan of.

In terms of playoff moments, I certainly rank Pierce with LeBron, Kobe and Wade. Kidd and Nash probably belong in that group as well. Oh, I guess you can't mention Kobe without mentioning Shaq. And I can't forget about Duncan. Yeah, those eight would be the names that come to my mind from recent memory. Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley and Reggie Miller would be other ones if they were still playing. I'm not saying of all time, but in the last decade or two (2000s and 90s).

lol i didn't know it was possible to compare lebron's jumper to that of kobe, wade, or pierce... shouldn't he have started lower with other players, it isn't like he's a top tier player when it comes to shooting the ball am i right?

I'm pretty sure it's a nike endorsed nickname. Like the WITNESS tatt that LeBron also has.


Pierce's tat is surrounding an angel, if I believe, and was because of his surviving the stabbing incident...


That's correct, and I think Lebron's tatt is signed:

Or in Pierce's case, he just picked one, himself.

:lol: :lol: Too true. The difference is Pierce's tat stresses that he is a "chosen one" by God to have survived a horrible attach. LeBron's is his marketing slogan...
It's still 17 to 11!!!!
