Looking back on it, it’s officially been a long time since the Cavaliers had that rivalry with the Celtics. The NBA and the sports world tried playing up a rivalry with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. But, what happened was LeBron James and Paul Pierce ended up being rivals.
Paul Pierce became the Celtics’ first franchise player after the original “Big 3” era with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish ended. A lot happened during the Pierce era. In the end, he couldn’t do it alone, so the Celtics added Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
Tonight, during the Warriors/Cavaliers Game 2 NBA Finals game, Paul Pierce was one of the commentators. During his time speaking, Pierce said that Kevin Durant is the best player in the world. The fans on Twitter have called Paul Pierce out for hating, and proceeded to roast him for still being salty with LeBron James.
