Notice how everybody was not standing behind the 3 point line and waiting to to shoot it. Mid range was open all day.
Because nobody exploited the three during those early 2000s. Then comes Steph who literally changed everything. 😂
@@caoimhinyt9765 What? Go back to the Celtics, Suns and Mavs in the early to mid 2000s. They all shot the 3. The problem was the NBA was all about the post.
People need to give Paul pierce his respect the man was real and the nickname they gave him fits him well
Shaq gave him the nickname
was the first game pierce and lebron played against each other
Y’all need to stop disrespecting Paul pierce . Was Lebron James better . Yea . But don’t act like the truth was some bum .
Exactly
Nobody said Paul was a bum he in the hall of fame for a reason.
Lebron bs pierce was a great rivalry
What a fascinating time capsule; Celtics on a nice winning streak here in December 2003. Eric Williams about to be traded, and Jim O'Brien about a month away from resigning as head coach as a result, which I was always a little sad about. He did a really nice job rebuilding this team after the Pitino era.
step back in this era is still legit and not a traveling
even in the MJ era there was the step back, they just need a little space to shoot their shots, i dont understand the modern step back at all.
@@timothy1949 3 step back and still not traveling 🤣
Damn I didn't know Bron and Paul had these legendary battles
Ages* 💯
this is the prime years of pierce, bad team but he was good. 5 years later he would drop 41 on lebron in the playoffs, and then another 4 years later (nearly 10 years from this game) he would still be bothering lebron a bit in the playoffs. its pretty crazy when u think about it.
This was when DMiles was my guy.
Pierce! ♥️
This was the prime Paul Pierce many never saw due to him having a weak supporting cast. Most people rank him based on post 08 championship year when he was past his prime. Peak for peak him and Wade are neck and neck
Prime Paul is way better than Bron. Watch a lakers game. He has no skillset. Cant shoot just bulldoze in pray for a call and complain instead of getting back. Sit at halfcourt or in the corner never go for offensive board get a head start on d lebron. Paul was deadly and could get to a spot and punish you. Bron doesn’t have this ability
@@Finn-fq6dt prime paul pierce was better than lakers bron? wow what a revelation! now compare him to prime bron lmaooooo
These the matchups they wont talk about when ppl bring up pierce vs lebron . Only the big 3 ones w pierce out his prime and on the nets
The main matchup the talk abt is wen bron killed them game 6 agains the Celtics so wdym?
@@getlivero thats what im talkin about they bring up those times w bron in his prime and pierce out of his but never games with pierce in his prime like this one
Lebron a rookie here and is already on the Level of Pierce.
@@folkscrazyouthere3076 lebron gets praised for beating rookie tatum in a series whats the difference
@@TheManUpPodcast Your point is moot at best. LeBron usually got the better of Pierce when Paul was in his prime and both were on subpar teams until Boston got their big 3. This period gets a lot of attention from people pushing the narrative that the big 3 made LeBron leave the cavs. So what are you talking about?
Bron bron my favorite player eva bron in 02 ima 2000s baby & always went wit bron bc eb said kobe better (which true) … But Damn Bron ain guard Pierce at all throughout da whole game not even in da clutch
Bron Bron lost so many close games in da clutch he coulda won if he guard the other team best player
Pierce was a better player than wade
Not even close
Maybe in his dreams. He was barely better than LeBron when LBJ was 18.
You sir need to be drug tested
Stop the foolishness. He isn’t better than Wade but it’s not as far a stretch as people make it seem. It took LeBron 8 years to finally beat Boston and when all the big 3 were out of their primes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was such a bad time for the league. Overall quality was pretty poor. Hand checking and zone was allowed. New talent was young, all 80s and 90s guys were almost gone, and guys weren’t shooting too many 3s outside of maybe Kobe, pierce, walker, Marshall, lewis, Allen, Iverson and almost all of them shot 35% or worse.
Nostalgia or not, you can’t say the league was too great at this time.
This looks better than todays shit if you ask me, bunch of dudes chucking up 3s playing no defense. A bunch of 3balls is less entertaining than seeing guys go 100% all out to the rim IMO.
That was a great time for basketball, and statistically wasn't very different. The pacing of the game was slower, and they honestly shot more free throws back then. Otherwise, it's just more shot attempts and less free throws in today's game. The league average for 3pt % in 2005 was 35%. Last season it was 36%. The only difference is players today have doubled the attempts.
3 point shooters? There were plenty. You forgot Peja Stojakovic, Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Redd, Mike Miller, Allan Houston, Steve Nash, Cuttino Mobley, Mike Bibby, Eddie Jones... All of them shot better than 35%. Even Michael Finley improved his 3 point shot and ended up shooting over 40%. That actually prolonged his career.
I know this is old but you’re crazy as hell
Watch the entire games not just the highlights, this current era fans are too caught up with analytics and highlights, teams played inside out, they shoot mid rangers and jump hooks, nowadays even non shooters and jacking 3s and will settle for a fastbreak 3 than lay up, look at how giannis and embiid are murdering people in the paint because new this era doesnt know how to play defense in the paint. Analytics and nerds dictate how the game is played today
@@theclassicmanila-style8435 true also these were the bad teams in the league. With hall of fame players which made you watch jst for them. Bad teams not even worth looking at now a days. Usually young players 3 or 4 years away from being good and don't know if they will even get to all star level.
Why did they get rid of Boozer? Fools. LeGM would've paid Boozer whatever he wanted.
he got payed better in utah so he took it instead
@@SC72110 that’s only part of the truth
Not even Boozer. Cavs messed up trade for both Stoudemire and Michael Reid
@@ericdupree8603 that would have made me leave lol
@@SC72110 Boozer was a restricted free agent, which means Cleveland didn't match the offer from Utah and let him go for nothing.
