Paul Pierce is a petty ass dude, but thats what makes this beef great! Let us know what other pettiness you wanna see covered in Beef History! P.S.: Never forget Paul Pierce pooped his pants in a game
pierce's career ended with what draymond said “Chasing that farewell tour, they don’t love you like that. You can’t get that farewell tour. They don’t love you like that. You thought you was Kobe?”
I don’t think he ever said that he’s better than LeBron, but he did say that he was better than Wade, which is false, and I’m a huge Pierce fan (he’s been my favorite since I was really little), but like he’s gotta stop at times. 😂😂
However, people are blowing him saying that he sees some of him in Luka way out of proportion. They should read the full quote, where he says that Luka is a better passer and dribbler, and he just said they’re both not very athletic, but make similar shots.
I love how everyone ignores the fact that early in lebron's career he was getting beat by super teams and couldn't depend on the Cavs front office to get him help
@@LouieiuoL1223 The term "superteam" is not very well defined, but from '07-'10 he got beaten by: the 07 spurs, which were stacked (but probably not a superteam, because they were drafted); the big four Celtics who were a real superteam; And the magic, who weren't a superteam. before 07 he didn't reach his prime quite yet and he got beaten a bunch by detroit, who weren't a superteam, but they had a lot of depth. Anyways it isn't hard to see that before the decision, Lebron got beaten by a bunch of teams who had multiple stars and had much more depth, while his teams barely had decent role players.
Yeah Curry only one that has an actual place to say it wasn't one-sided. But LeBron and Curry are cool with each other so there was never beef. Just two pros playing like pros.
To be fair, Pierce was a top player in his prime. But he wasn't on Lebron's level in terms of individual ability. He just won 1 ring despite having a stacked team, injuries played a part too of course.
Tbf, if that team was formed a few years earlier I'm confident they would have at least 1 or 2 more. They would have had to beat the Spurs and Heat more then likely to do it but I think they would have had a good shot to do that.
If he had just shut up after retirement, I think everything would be fine. Because at least Pierce beat Bron in the playoffs 3 times, and he was good enough to back his words.
And just for the record, I’m not at all saying that Pierce is better than LeBron, because that would be stupid. Pierce is my all-time favorite player, but like c’mon LeBron is one of the greatest players ever.
@@apierre6 kinda like luka who he compares himself to coincidentally. Luka also is tall and can drive to the basket and loves to step back, but doesn’t really look to be toned
Love this series, especially when it’s about the NBA. I know these are quality videos that take time to make, but please keep them coming, old beef or new.
" It's easy to call em trash, but those dudes made the NBA for a reason" Absolutely spot on. People gotta know those guys worked so hard to get into da league.
It's a point that is as true as it is irrelevant. When someone calls an NBA player "trash" --obviously, they are saying the player is trash relative to **other** NBA players, not the general population.
“What has LeBron James done for any organization” He literally IS the Cleveland Cavaliers organization and won more rings in 4 years in Miami then the rest of their franchise existence. And now he brought a chip back to LA.
Naw honestly the point pierce made actually made sense in alot of ways. Only thing is the only 2 who truly truly built something out of nothing were Jordan and Duncan. The C's and Lakers are the ultimate legacy teams. Built before most of us were even born. His Cavs ring was him truly building something but KD messed that up for him. He definitely top 5 all time though.
Idk what anyone says. 2012 ECF Game 6 at the Garden is LeBron's greatest game. All the pressure to win his first ring, elimination game on the road, from start to finish he got the job done and the rest is HISTORY.
As a Celtics fan, that game will live in my nightmares forever. I'm not particularly fond of Lebron, but he was on an entirely different level that night- you could see it in his eyes, he was in a zone and just wasn't going to be stopped.
Idk, everyone was expected them to sweep that old banged up Celtics team. That game was more about saving his own legacy, but now people act like he dragged a down team against a super team and was the greatest performance ever that added to his legacy.
This video highlights the fact that LeBron really tried to win in Cleveland before he went to Miami. I say this not as a LeBron fan, but as a Cleveland sports fan. Management missed every chance to help him.
The premise of this video seems to be that Pierce was trash...but he wasn't. He's a HOFer that is probably one of the better players in Boston history. Saying "come on bruh you're no Isiah Thomas." Really?
And Rondo but especially all those all time and fitting role players. From 2008 to 2012 that team saw loadings of the likes of its 60s predecessors or 90s Bulls, I don't know how the hell Lebron could go to 7 in its prime run year.
lol ray allen was 32 coming off a double ankle surgery. Rondo was in his sophomore season. Celtics (paul pierce) before that season were 24-58 Seattle (ray allen) before that season were 31-51 Minnesota (kevin garnett) before that season were 32-50 lets compare each big 3 Celtics after joining Ray Allen was 32; 17/4/3 Paul Pierce was 30; 20//5/5/1 Garnett was 31; 19/9/3/1/1 heat before joining Chris bosh was 26; 24/11/2/1 Dwayne wade was 29; 27/7/5/2/1 lebron was 26; 30/7/9/2/1 toronto was 47-35! with bosh miami was 44-38 ! with wade cleveland was 50-32 ! with bron 2010 lebron finished 3rd and wade 7th in mvp voting
I’m a life long Celtics fan and grew up watching Pierce. I can’t understand his “what has Lebron done to build up a team” argument because Pierce never did it himself. The Celtics were slightly above average when he had Antonine Walker (who was drafted prior) and then became mediocre-garbage when Walker left and Pierce was alone. Pierce was a great player but some of his takes are ludicrous.
he just got lucky with the big 3... but i will say that lebron went ring chasing with d-wade in miami. bron didn't build a team, he just went to one already built. pierce stuck around in boston and was part of the big 3. what happened after... bron still ring chasing, pierce ain't got no clue what he did after
@@wolfsta90 You might be right. They were never very impressive. What actually happened seemed more likely than them finishing undefeated when they were 11-0. If the Browns somehow upset KC it would be such a head trip. If someone told you a couple of years ago that the 2020-21 AFC championship game would be the Bills vs Browns you would’ve driven them to the hospital.
As a steelers fan, they honestly overachieved. QB coming of potential career ending surgery? Our oldest receiver is 24? Aging o-line? if you look at pre-season predictions almost nobody predicted them to even make the playoffs, let alone win the division. im proud of them honestly
I mean, he's not entirely wrong that The Decision was heavily influenced by the Celtics big 3. The fact that KG and Allen were there made it possible for Pierce to out a heavy focus on shutting Lebron down in Cleveland.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6I don't even think Ben Wallace played at all, it's like saying the 2012 MAVS were a superteam because they got a 40 year old Vince Carter, or the 2013 SPURS were better than ever because they had Tracy McGrady
I respect Pierce for what he was; a star, but not a superstar. That's prolly why LeBron never publicly fired shots back. He knew early on that he was, and would be, better than Pierce ever was. The pettiness and insecurity from Pierce in this beef was painfully obvious. Great job breaking it down. He must have never learned the important fact that you don't raise yourself up by trying to step on those above you. You just gotta be better than them, or tip your hat to greatness.
Honestly, he is, and if the Cavs could actually acquire good players and not guys in their 30s averaging 12 ppg, Lebron wouldn't have ever needed to leave. The Miami 3 were going to go wherever lebron went, it was part of his negotiations, he was going to go to whatever team was willing to open their wallets, and he gave cleveland first dibs and they let him walk, and I think that's the epitome of organization. They were willing to overpay for Fat Shaq, and sell "Witness Protection" jerseys, but when offered the change to basically guarantee a ring in the near future with an elite big three, they were unwilling, and that never gets talked about enough.
Yes, people laugh at Pierce but look the rivals Lebron has been playing against lately, Demarr DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, those sorry Hawks teams, Paul George, Jae Crowder, and last year was a mess, they played the finals against a Miami team which had a good bubble but weren't a true contender team and with key injuries. Only Kevin Durant could be another rival, and he is better than James.
@@Marlowe10100 he’s not better than lebron first off lol only thing he’s better at is scoring but lebron is literally better and has been at everything else ..check the stats if u think I’m lying stats don’t lie or care about feelings
Lebron's biggest rival is either steph or KD, not freakin paul pierce. Loved his battles against pierce but that ain't nowhere near enough compared to steph and KD who are the undisputed number 2 and 3 in the decade lebron dominated, who are actually all time greats, and who he played 4 and 3 times in the finals respectively. Just stop it
If we're being honest, Tim Duncan is severely underrated. Timmy Two-Fists is legit one of the top five defensive players in NBA history but nobody cares. He was one away from going six for six in the finals too
Top 5 defensive players ever nah, is his defense even better than Garrett someone who legit guarded Michael Jordan x2(Wizards and Bulls) the entire game. Bill Russell Jordan Pippen Rodman Thurmond Wallace Dream
Paul Pierce 1-1 in NBA Finals,LeBron James 4-6 in Finals. Pierce record is tied yes less rings than LeBron but a tied record better than losing record.
2007 cavs was not a carry job by lebron. They had a top 5 defense and had an easy path to the finals playing wizards without arenas, an average 41-41 nets team, and the detroit pistons without ben wallace. He had great teammates like mo williams and big Z. Both all stars. He choked in the finals.
He didn't choke. He was 22 and his game just wasn't finished yet, and he was well defended too, because they could just send everyone at him with no repercussions. He underperformed like hell but choking is different
BINGO. Facts. Paul Pierce was never a MVP. If Garrett goes to Phoenix or Lakers or stay in Minnesota. What he actually Pefered. Paul Pierce doesn't even get his 1 ring. Probably doesn't get his Jersey retired. He doesn't even really have as much to do with LeBron leaving. LeBron wanted a championship. If Cavaliers lose in Finals instead of Conference finals He still Leaves. Smh. Like Biggie said. "Jealousy ,Hate and Envy ". Smh.
@@GDCDGC LeBron had the guts to leave and the sense to see its a business. Loyalty is not part of the deal. It's not family. He was going to leave anyway! Paula Pierce bought into Loyalty....until they traded him!🤭🤫
@@GDCDGC We all Saw LeBron take a team to the Finals made up of players who never made 1 All NBA team. We saw Him take Golden state warriors 6 games without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love. LeBron isn't Paul Pierce he can care less Talented to the Playoffs and threw the playoffs. If he teamed with different All stars (Anthony Davis) He wins. Paul Pierce just needs a No salt diet. LeBron is on of the Greatest Players of All time. Just accept it. He Blends so many skills of Guard play and big's game he can Dominate games like no other. 🤫
Bronsexuals are toxic. LeBron james wishes he was Michael Jordan that a fact. Paul Pierce talk trash the same way to Jordan, to Hakeem, to Kobe like he did LeBron.
Bron came out looking like a saint in this. Even in teaming up in Miami (much like the Boston Big 3), he gave out reasons for Bron when it wasn't necessary.
Its hard for Pierce to respect Lebron when he saw Lebron quit when the game got tough in Cleveland. Pierce brought guys like Antoine walker to the ECF. Why would you ever respect a guy like that.
Pierce wasn't exactly making much ground before the Celtics got KG and Ray Allen. LeBron brought Larry Hughes to the NBA Finals but the Cavs never did anything significant to help him those first 7 years.
This video just sums up how ridiculous James attitude always has been. I appreciate how they point out Lebron blamed his teammates for losing in big games while all he focused on was statpadding at the teams expense and then it even goes on to show how Pierce did what was actually necessary for his team to win 3 games (spend effort on defense guarding James at the expense of only averaging 14 PPG). Shows the difference between the two. Sure Pierce is a hater but understandably so.
Right ?? All of his post NBA career has just been trolling. You can hear it in his voice too. Like damn y’all takin this too seriously. They were competitors and rivals, beef is a stretch tho. This kinda seemed like video to just trash in pierce.
@@tfgbeatz1793 It’s not trashing him if it’s true. It’s also not beef when the energy is one sided. No one hates Pierce people just think he evaluates himself higher than he is. He thinks he could beat Lebron by being better not from team circumstances, thinks he’s better than Wade. Dude is a HOF I wouldn’t say he’s a superstar like Zeke, Wade or even KG but in his own mind he is. He doesn’t realize that the best he looked was when he was bullying a young Lebron and even then by his sophomore year Lebron was better

@Larry Love Ah yes, the old “Used to be buddies” trope.
@@jasonreyes5767 hour long special if you throw in scottie
I’m a life long Celtics fan and grew up watching Pierce. I can’t understand his “what has Lebron done to build up a team” argument because Pierce never did it himself. The Celtics were slightly above average when he had Antonine Walker (who was drafted prior) and then became mediocre-garbage when Walker left and Pierce was alone.
Pierce was a great player but some of his takes are ludicrous.
he just got lucky with the big 3... but i will say that lebron went ring chasing with d-wade in miami. bron didn't build a team, he just went to one already built. pierce stuck around in boston and was part of the big 3. what happened after... bron still ring chasing, pierce ain't got no clue what he did after
Also….. on Feb. 13, 2011 LBJ held Pierce to 1 point TOTAL in that game.
“Osama bin Shaq (later apologized)” 💀
Your next episode of collapse has to feature the 2020 Steelers
LMAO a collapse within the same season of assent.
I believe that they got lucky all season long. I don't think it was an actual collapse, I think it was what was supposed to happen all along
@@wolfsta90 You might be right. They were never very impressive. What actually happened seemed more likely than them finishing undefeated when they were 11-0. If the Browns somehow upset KC it would be such a head trip. If someone told you a couple of years ago that the 2020-21 AFC championship game would be the Bills vs Browns you would’ve driven them to the hospital.
They were just the luckiest 8-8 team possibly ever, it much of a story
As a steelers fan, they honestly overachieved. QB coming of potential career ending surgery? Our oldest receiver is 24? Aging o-line? if you look at pre-season predictions almost nobody predicted them to even make the playoffs, let alone win the division. im proud of them honestly
I mean, he's not entirely wrong that The Decision was heavily influenced by the Celtics big 3. The fact that KG and Allen were there made it possible for Pierce to out a heavy focus on shutting Lebron down in Cleveland.
Maybe Lebron needed more than Mo Williams and Anderson Varejao to beat Ray, Rondo, KG and Pierce.
4 stars vs Lebron
Lebron had Ben Wallace, Big Z, older Shaq and antwaan Jamison. All former perennial all stars. He choked
@@BoosterGoldEarth6yeah James choked a ton in the big moments but everyone likes to spin the narrative
@@BoosterGoldEarth6I don't even think Ben Wallace played at all, it's like saying the 2012 MAVS were a superteam because they got a 40 year old Vince Carter, or the 2013 SPURS were better than ever because they had Tracy McGrady
Plot twist: lebron waited for this vid to come out to starting firing back at pierce
Over my dead body LeBron keeps his head down and just hoops, what a load of crap
Who's watching this after Paul Pierce got fired by ESPN???
Beef history: The Chicago Bears vs rational QB decisions
The McCaskeys decided decades ago that winning in spite of your QB is "Chicago Bears Football". The team will always be trash unless they sell it.
We need a rewind on Tracy Porters pick 6 versus the Colts in super bowl 44
good one lol. bruh so many damn turnovers wasn't even funny.
My guy just straight up cursing and the video is still monetized. 😭☠️🤣
I respect Pierce for what he was; a star, but not a superstar. That's prolly why LeBron never publicly fired shots back. He knew early on that he was, and would be, better than Pierce ever was. The pettiness and insecurity from Pierce in this beef was painfully obvious. Great job breaking it down. He must have never learned the important fact that you don't raise yourself up by trying to step on those above you. You just gotta be better than them, or tip your hat to greatness.
“When has lebron ever brought up an organization” please Paul, every team he’s on gets to go to the finals
And this didn't age well. Looking at th3 Lakers travesty
But low key pierce really is lebrons biggest rival ever some of the best competitive basketball games ever from those Celtics cavs series back then
Honestly, he is, and if the Cavs could actually acquire good players and not guys in their 30s averaging 12 ppg, Lebron wouldn't have ever needed to leave. The Miami 3 were going to go wherever lebron went, it was part of his negotiations, he was going to go to whatever team was willing to open their wallets, and he gave cleveland first dibs and they let him walk, and I think that's the epitome of organization. They were willing to overpay for Fat Shaq, and sell "Witness Protection" jerseys, but when offered the change to basically guarantee a ring in the near future with an elite big three, they were unwilling, and that never gets talked about enough.
Yes, people laugh at Pierce but look the rivals Lebron has been playing against lately, Demarr DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, those sorry Hawks teams, Paul George, Jae Crowder, and last year was a mess, they played the finals against a Miami team which had a good bubble but weren't a true contender team and with key injuries. Only Kevin Durant could be another rival, and he is better than James.
@@Marlowe10100 he’s not better than lebron first off lol only thing he’s better at is scoring but lebron is literally better and has been at everything else ..check the stats if u think I’m lying stats don’t lie or care about feelings
Lebron's biggest rival is either steph or KD, not freakin paul pierce.
Loved his battles against pierce but that ain't nowhere near enough compared to steph and KD who are the undisputed number 2 and 3 in the decade lebron dominated, who are actually all time greats, and who he played 4 and 3 times in the finals respectively. Just stop it
@@Marlowe10100 another skip bayless troll account I see
I am starting to get the sense that Everybody had beef with Lebron in his prime
As a kid too really.
The beating started after a while but his conference still had that kid as a threat since the beginning lol
U mean the same way LeBron has one sided beef with Steph. Same way he has one sided beef with Michael Jordan.
I mean when you get dubbed ‘King’ from a young age, everyone’s going to be gunning for you
@@coachwane I haven't been following basketball for long. What beef did Lebron have with Steph?
Lance Stevenson, DeShawn Stevenson, Joakim Noah. Mostly role players
If we're being honest, Tim Duncan is severely underrated. Timmy Two-Fists is legit one of the top five defensive players in NBA history but nobody cares. He was one away from going six for six in the finals too
Top 5 All Time. I'd take him over Magic, Bird, or LeBron every day of the week.
I mean he’s the greatest power forward of all time idk how he’s underrated
This is not a Tim Duncan video
Top 5 defensive players ever nah, is his defense even better than Garrett someone who legit guarded Michael Jordan x2(Wizards and Bulls) the entire game.
Bill Russell
Jordan
Pippen
Rodman
Thurmond
Wallace
Dream
He was also drafted ahead of Paul pierce so.... yeah
Paul Pierce 1-1 in NBA Finals,LeBron James 4-6 in Finals. Pierce record is tied yes less rings than LeBron but a tied record better than losing record.
This is classic Beef History this was made way better than y’all last one, keep it up!
Lebron has said his toughest opponent was Paul pierce, mostly because he is the person he went up against most in the playoffs
Pierce better than lebron James
Beef history: falcons and keeping 20 point leads
Bruh😭
LMAO, they should do this
Weeak 😂🤣😂
Beef history: James Harden vs actually acting being mature about things
2007 cavs was not a carry job by lebron. They had a top 5 defense and had an easy path to the finals playing wizards without arenas, an average 41-41 nets team, and the detroit pistons without ben wallace. He had great teammates like mo williams and big Z. Both all stars. He choked in the finals.
He didn't choke. He was 22 and his game just wasn't finished yet, and he was well defended too, because they could just send everyone at him with no repercussions.
He underperformed like hell but choking is different
I wonder what was Pierce's reaction in 2020 finals towards Rondo.
The moment Cleveland declined to pick up Amare at the trade deadline was the final straw for LBJ’s first tenure for the Cavs.
Cuz they didnt wanna lose JJ Hickson 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
@@BMoney04 who they rarely played and gave the bulk of the minutes to Jamison in the playoffs lol
@@BMoney04 ended up trading him to Portland a year later lmao idiots 😭😭😭
Not feeling this comentator
He aint feeling you too :)
I thought y’all said noah was the best player to have beef with lebron
Who’s here after Pierce got fired from ESPN?
Fun fact !!! KG is 33 and ray Allen 33 and Paul Pierce is 32 the year after they win a championship
This beef can be summed up like this: paul pierce wishes he was Lebron.
The end.
BINGO. Facts. Paul Pierce was never a MVP. If Garrett goes to Phoenix or Lakers or stay in Minnesota. What he actually Pefered. Paul Pierce doesn't even get his 1 ring. Probably doesn't get his Jersey retired. He doesn't even really have as much to do with LeBron leaving. LeBron wanted a championship. If Cavaliers lose in Finals instead of Conference finals He still Leaves. Smh. Like Biggie said. "Jealousy ,Hate and Envy ". Smh.
@@GDCDGC LeBron had the guts to leave and the sense to see its a business. Loyalty is not part of the deal. It's not family. He was going to leave anyway! Paula Pierce bought into Loyalty....until they traded him!🤭🤫
@@GDCDGC You Really should have asked What if Paul Pierce actually got in Shape and Lost that baby fat!!🤭
@@GDCDGC We all Saw LeBron take a team to the Finals made up of players who never made 1 All NBA team. We saw Him take Golden state warriors 6 games without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love. LeBron isn't Paul Pierce he can care less Talented to the Playoffs and threw the playoffs. If he teamed with different All stars (Anthony Davis) He wins. Paul Pierce just needs a No salt diet. LeBron is on of the Greatest Players of All time. Just accept it. He Blends so many skills of Guard play and big's game he can Dominate games like no other. 🤫
Bronsexuals are toxic. LeBron james wishes he was Michael Jordan that a fact. Paul Pierce talk trash the same way to Jordan, to Hakeem, to Kobe like he did LeBron.
Paul Pierce went from a walking bucket to a walking L after he retired.
Mans was so wet that he shat himself in the Finals
@@namor679 He’s done that to himself.
@@namor679 he is doing this to himself 🤷🏽♂️
@@namor679 Not a legendary player and not really and all time great player (if one means on the higher levels).

Can u guys make a collapse on 2000's Phoenix suns
I'd say the series vs SA in '07 started the collapse, they traded for declining Shaq and wallah
I feel like it's been covered a bit in the Steve Nash untitled
Does it bother anyone else that the Miami picture and Ray Allen picture aren't connected by a line in the thumbnail?
and his analyst career is taking a break
If only Paul could realize the truth....
When Lebrons mom started yelling at Pierce, if he DIDN'T make a Delonte West joke, that's a huge and disappointing missed opportunity
I think that happen before the alleged entanglement with West
@@antoniojames9493 is that rumor even true?
Lol that 2008 when the incident occurred. DeLonte happen 2010
This dude giving LeBron that two handed SLOPPY top.
Bron came out looking like a saint in this. Even in teaming up in Miami (much like the Boston Big 3), he gave out reasons for Bron when it wasn't necessary.
Dude he licked lebron down like a street corn with mayonnaise and chili
@@maralorca6518 it’s called context
Its hard for Pierce to respect Lebron when he saw Lebron quit when the game got tough in Cleveland. Pierce brought guys like Antoine walker to the ECF. Why would you ever respect a guy like that.
Pierce wasn't exactly making much ground before the Celtics got KG and Ray Allen. LeBron brought Larry Hughes to the NBA Finals but the Cavs never did anything significant to help him those first 7 years.
@@jacobwilliams1223 he went to the ECF. what are you talking about lol. There isnt much ground beyond that
This video just sums up how ridiculous James attitude always has been. I appreciate how they point out Lebron blamed his teammates for losing in big games while all he focused on was statpadding at the teams expense and then it even goes on to show how Pierce did what was actually necessary for his team to win 3 games (spend effort on defense guarding James at the expense of only averaging 14 PPG). Shows the difference between the two. Sure Pierce is a hater but understandably so.
Pierce has said good things about Lebron, especially after the Lakers won the championship. It just doesn't get the traction.
Paul Pierce haters make me sick.
Right ?? All of his post NBA career has just been trolling. You can hear it in his voice too. Like damn y’all takin this too seriously. They were competitors and rivals, beef is a stretch tho. This kinda seemed like video to just trash in pierce.
@@tfgbeatz1793 It’s not trashing him if it’s true. It’s also not beef when the energy is one sided. No one hates Pierce people just think he evaluates himself higher than he is. He thinks he could beat Lebron by being better not from team circumstances, thinks he’s better than Wade. Dude is a HOF I wouldn’t say he’s a superstar like Zeke, Wade or even KG but in his own mind he is. He doesn’t realize that the best he looked was when he was bullying a young Lebron and even then by his sophomore year Lebron was better
Makes you sick for what? Are u nerd or something.
@@warbeast1715 nah, I'm just allergic to fair weather retards who don't know basketball, yet comment on it anyway.

6:04 is all I remember from this. As a kid, watching Pierce body James on defense. Bron may be better, but Pierce could definitely slow him down.
