Boston looking for a complete beatdown next year

Quote:
Finals MVP Paul Pierce, who recently spent three days at a ball camp in Madrid, is making, ahem, news about what he said to a Spanish reporter. The money translation, via RedsArmy: "Q: Is Kobe really the best player in the world? Pierce: I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player. There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself." Surprisingly, Spurs fans seem more upset by this than actual Lakers fans. (Update: OK, Lakers Nation is pretty upset, too.)

We all have seen this, Kobe is greatest when he has to prove something and he will shut this guy down next season and ultimately win it all. I always hated this "wanna be thug" and always will.

Its on ESPN right now...Everyone is agreeing that Paul Pierce is NOWHERE near the top 3. Yes, he is good, but DEFINATELY not better than Bryant, James, etc.

Espn tries to bury all Boston sports all the time and shouldnt be a shock.


"There’s a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don’t cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.” Its not like it a lie.

Nothing wrong with someone thinking they are the best... Im sure Manning thinks better than Brady..... Papelbon better than Rivera....TO better than Moss.

Who cares Kobe is great but he is what he is and like many great players has his pack of blind loyalist.

Whats more insulting imo is the fact so many compaire Kobe to Jordon. Like I said before Paul had a better post season.

Thats weird to me that he would even say that, they are friends. They practiced all last year before the season started at UCLA together...

tru indeed the Jordan comparisons need to stop. Kobe is a beast I'll give him that, but if you're to be an elite player, you have to represent in the post season. What you do during the reg season means nothing. Pierce held it down this year and I see nothing wrong with it. Pull up stat sheets of the finals numbers and tell me Pierce didn't play like the best player of the two. I love when people hate on Pierce, all that matters is he's rocking a ring right now

hahaha I don't know what ESPN you are watching but they are the biggest Boston anything nut huggers. As fall approaches that will be switched to SEC nut huggers when they aren't drooling over the Patriots

Pierce did have a better post season due to his "injury" faking incident that fired the whole team up. Besides u guys fail to see that he was surrounded with mad tallent and veteran players who had plenty of experience in post-season and the finals. That contributed for him to have a better individual finals that Kobe. If Kobe had a better individual finals and the Lakers lost every fvckin Kobe hater would blame the whole laker loss to him instead of the team.

One thing that annoys the crap out of me is that whatever Kobe does or does not do, there is a hater somewhere out there to critsize his act. Kobe is a better player than pierce and could have had a better individual finals than Pierce if he chose to. He followed what the team wanted to do and that yielded him not having an explosive finals. If u look at Kobe's overall play this year, it was nothing spectacular but he won the MVP. When i scored over 80 points against torronto every one was talking about how selfish he is. When he gets over 10 assists everyone says "how come he is not scoring, whoooo there must be something wrong with him". STFU already and let the guy do what he does best - shut people up.

how can pierce say that he is better when some analysts say kobe may be the best ever when it is all said and done. It will come down to rings though for kobe and mj comparison. I do believe pierce doesn't get the credit he deserves and is often left out of the discussions of the leagues best. But he is nowhere near bryant's level on offense or defense.

lol so analysts are the end all now? I'm not a Kobe fan but I respect his game.the kid is nasty but Jordan he is not. go watch Jordan highlights. he was destroying hall of famers. Kobe dropped 80 on a bum team. Jordan used to drop 50-60 easily on top level teams. Jordan also had better defense than Kobe and was/is a better leader. Scoring a lot of points isn't what makes you the best. Jordan gave you everything "consistently" Kobe has yet to dominate consistently like Jordan did. it really is disrespectful to make the comparison even Kobe doesnt like it. Michael is Michael and Kobe is Kobe, why does anyone have to be next "fill in the blank"
back to the topic, the Truth did his thing this year, give homeboy his credit, nuff said

Jordan > Kobe

Even Jordan said so recently.

If Kobe knew how to play shut down Defense then his team would've won in the finals. He couldn't stop neither Pierce or Allen, but Allen was able to limit his production.

This is a video of Jordan saying he's better than Kobe:
