Paul Pierce discusses his ‘unappreciated’ career, why he was better than Dwyane Wade

Whether it be on the court or now in his post-playing days, Celtics legend Paul Pierce has never been one to avoid speaking his mind.

Former Heat star Dwyane Wade has particularly drawn the ire of Pierce, especially in terms of their respective career comparisons.

After proclaiming back in 2019 that he was the better player over Wade, Pierce once again doubled down on his take during an appearance on rappers Cam’Ron and Mase’s “It Is What It Is” YouTube series.

For Pierce, the argument in favor of his career over Wade’s is due in large part to the amount of star talent that the Heat shooting guard regularly had around him in South Beach.
