LeBron: Pierce is 2nd only to Kobe (In the footwork Dept.)

Rocky5000 · Post #1 » by **Rocky5000** » Tue May 20, 2008 10:28 pm

In the post game presser, LeBron James said that of all the guys in the league that he's had to go up against Paul Pierce is the 2nd toughest matchup with Kobe Bryant being the toughest. I was happy to see LeBron giving credit to Pierce when few people around the league will acknowledge his greatness. Every year there seems to be a question as to whether Pierce will make the all-star game. (This year people wanted Caron Butler and Hedo Tuckoglu in the AS game over Pierce.) IMO, and apparently in LeBron's as well, Pierce is the 2nd best SF in the league right now.

What do you think of LeBron's comments about Pierce? Is Pierce the 3rd most dangerous wing player in the league?

Paul Pierce is my favorite player. After LeBron, it's hard to say who's second best, but Pierce does deserve more respect.

I love pierces game, but it bugs the **** out of me when he does that head waggle, and grimace like hes getting killed.

Almost akin to Manu, who I hate with the burning pasion of a 1,000 suns for his flopping crap.

He's so good beuase he slithers his way around players, and near the basket. He is actaully slow as hell, but super effective with it. Odd, and strange but true.

I watched the post game interview. Lebron said Pierce had the second best FOOTWORK of anyone in the league next to Kobe.

LeBron - "Second to Kobe Bryant, Pierce has the best footwork in the league"

pierce isn't going to be second in the league to anyone in terms of skill until he starts going to the rim again

why would a reporter ask LeBron about footwork? :lol:

: "Hey LeBron, what did you think of Paul Peirce today? What do you think about his footwork?

Come on, everyone knows that Pierce can tear up the dance floor better than Kobe.

He speaks The Truth!

He was just talking about who has the best footwork.

this thread is becoming a source of disinformation.

I don't think it would be true even if Lebron wasn't talking about footwork
