Paul Pierce has had a lot to say about Dwyane Wade lately.
First, he explained why he thinks he was a better player than Wade, arguing that his scoring skills went under-appreciated compared to Wade because of the difference in talent in the teams they played with.
“Put Shaq [O’Neal] on my team. Put LeBron [James] and [Chris] Bosh with me. I’m not gonna win one?” Pierce said. “Put me, LeBron and Bosh, we not gonna win a couple?”
Then, Pierce attempted to clarify the comments, saying he wasn’t comparing himself to Wade, just merely stating that the narrative around his career would have been different if he played with some of the talent Wade did.
