Paul Pierce was clutch af. Probably top 10 in the clutch all time. Right up there with MJ, Reggie, Ray, Dirk, Horry, Kobe. Dude was like I didn’t stutter, “Cleveland is the worst city in America” 🤣
I've always been a knicks fan but Paul Pierce was a joy to watch hoop. He was clutch.. he was mean.. and he was ALWAYS on the floor.. always in the playoffs.. always showed up for the biggest matchups. Prob one of my all time favorite players. Also love that he's still that dude. No fucks. Those boots are terrible tho.. lol.
"They got more skill but lack creativity " literally the biggest issue with the dunk contest.. Nobody tryna be creative that's why we hold Aaron and Zach so high.
I don't think that's the issue. The REAL issue is that the young stars ain't doin' the dunk contest for some reason. A LOT of the legends did it (MJ, Vince, Kobe, T-Mac, etc.), but now NONE of the stars seem to want to get into it. People like Zion, Ja, Anthony Edwards, and the like are OBVIOUS choices for people we would want to see, but they're just not opting in, and it SUCKS!!!
@@TheUltimateRage ...bcuz they not creative enough to do it. End of the day we saw everything so you have to keep doing new shit, which is why I mentioned Aaron and Zach cuz they did shit we never seen. Look at what they say a "situation" is, they saying go to the park and get dudes cuz they're being creative, we all scroll and have seen it these recent yrs, some dude from the park doing some wild shit, well nba mfs get paid too much and just wanna shot 3s so no need for them to be creative.
That's dudes from the 90s and early 00s for you, cocky, confident, devil may care attitude, now dudes talk and walk different trying to please everybody from the media to social media, they don't have that back then and they don't really care what you think of them.
@@lenorencepayton6879 it’s sad people nowadays never saw how pierce was in his prime.. he literally would body people before the big 3 was even there. He had the 3 ball and he had bounce in his early days
Paul in old man mood...Crazy creativity in the game...it is the competitiveness behind it to have your own flavor, but even with that Ja, Melo, JT, Joel, Kyrie, Steph, Ant, So many
I agree! The nba these days ain’t as fun to watch. If someone dropped 50 in a game, it was a treat. Now everybody dropping 50. It’s all offense and 0 defense.
Phil Jackson said all type of crap about Kobe & Kobe ignored it & won chips with Phil. So I don’t think it’s unprecedented for a coach to call out a player publicly the way Doc did to Ben
@@studythegame9203 Phil literally wrote a book & said in the book that Kobe was uncoachable. All Kobe cared about was rings & he didn’t care what Phil said about him & all that did was motivate Kobe even more
@@YEEH. Kobe so uncoachable he won 5 rings. That seems to be the conundrum with Kobe. He won multiple rings but is viewed as detrimental to team success with the perception of Kobe being selfish. Maybe Kobe wasn’t that selfish, it’s hard to be selfish winning 5 rings, you have to be a team player winning those rings
i can't agree with the lack of creativity statement there's too many guys in this league that'll go down as some the most creative hoopers we ever seen
Kobe busted his ass everytime too. Carlos Boozer said the first time he seen Kobe play was at UCLA and that day Kobe held king of the court for 45 min straight against Pierce and those guys then got bored and walked off lol. Like it was just a light training session for him, lol.
@@thewoodchopper5765 I was talking about the ucla games. But Kobe also busted his ass most of the time in the nba lol. Also maybe 12 of Gilberts points were scored on Kobe.
Man this interview is so deep talking bout how players lack creativity so fukin true these kids don't noe about being in the park from 8 in the morning till the cops come at 9 at night kicking u out the park real shit man that's how I grew up as a hooper at the park
For Paul to say there’s no players with creativity anymore… bro you played against Kyrie Irving who has the best handle in history most artistic players in history
Screen action where paul makes a hard cut to the elbow for 3 or a straight drive, watch pierce offense highlights and you'll find that same exact play mostly ends up with him shooting 3s.
There's also another play they didn't mention called the Paul pierce series, switch play at the top of the freethrow line where Pierce hunts the smaller point guard, he used to milk that play but it became more of a Dirk Nowitzki signature.
5 of 24 when guarded by Ben Simmons. He was a shitty 39% from the field (normally 46%). GTFOH. Sixers wished they had Ben Simmons to guard Trea every time he switched. Do you understand switching? Do you understand basketball?
That's true playing with different races you have different styles and you have to adjust and you can add it to your game I felt that. Kids please go hoop at local parks and try different parks
The AR joke but me harder then it hit Gil , he been hearing ts since the situation happened but ts was hilarious to me cause I would've said the same thing if i knew him like that .
JR Smith shouldn't even have gotten the offensive rebound! That deserves mad credit! He made a mental mistake but do you know how hard you have to want it to get an offensive rebound on a free throw? Especially as a guard? Mad hustle!
@@tankgreenthumb7979 isnt it always the same in every era? I dont think every player in the nba before was as creative as tmac or AI or kobe or any other stars before. Just a few in the league
Now we are seing that KD probably did the right thing leaving OKC , Harden and Westbrick might be all time players but when it mattered most they are gone so he gonna be still ringless if KD stayed
THIS SHOW IS SO DOPE NOW....SO UNDERRATED. MY FAVORITE BASKETBALL PODCAST!!! I wish I could just hang around NBA players just the hear the "real" stories lol
Twi Giants of The Game, You ask me Gil A Top 75 Also, Mad Respect how Gil & P breaks it Down, Like Yea Today everyone have Traininers & not Really that Nice, Back then We didn’t have Trainers & Excelled at Hoops cause We Balled All Day
Dont get fooled by the media today. Paul was legit a superstar bucket in his days.
If you old enough then you already know the truth was legit in his days

He was deadly. That's why they left the game in his hands with the Big three Celtics.

Man I still remember when he went to washington and hit two game winners in one playoff run with them
I love these dudes chilling at the brewery , chopping it up and telling stories …..
This generation has a lot of handling, but feetwork is was what made the last generation deadly. Pierce had that.
Don't worry about that too much, players like DeRozan, Booker, Middleton, KD keep alive that elite footwork
It’s footwork

Great Interview💯..I will admit I had to Jack that back 2 step jumpshot move from Paula Pierce! 😉
Real talk and great interview!
Paul has perfected the "I need a fresh one" look.
This dude always 3 weeks into a cut.
🤣 is that what it's called
🤣🤣🤣🤣 @ perfected the “i need a fresh one” look
I think they hit the nail on the head:
The players are def better, but the game is not as fun to watch
I can’t wait for a TMaC interview!
Interesting perspective from Gil about the Ben-Sixers dynamic… Good points.
My bad. It was a multi layered topic on that. Which part do you mean?
Paul pierce got way to much confidence and he’s cocky…lol I hate it and like it at the same time😂😂😭gotta love Paul
cant be a hooper if you aint got that kinda confidence.. thats why hes the truth

That Kobe story amazing
At what time?
Phil Jackson said all type of crap about Kobe & Kobe ignored it & won chips with Phil. So I don’t think it’s unprecedented for a coach to call out a player publicly the way Doc did to Ben
EXACTLY! Most of today’s younger players can’t handle criticism.
Not a bad point
@@studythegame9203 Phil literally wrote a book & said in the book that Kobe was uncoachable. All Kobe cared about was rings & he didn’t care what Phil said about him & all that did was motivate Kobe even more
we all know what type of person Kobe is, of course he wasnt gonna let that affect him. that dosent make what Phil did not wrong tho.
@@YEEH. Kobe so uncoachable he won 5 rings. That seems to be the conundrum with Kobe. He won multiple rings but is viewed as detrimental to team success with the perception of Kobe being selfish.
