Paul Pierce doesn't get enough respect from the fans nowadays

NRL Grand Final Media Opportunity With Paul Pierce

Paul Pierce is one of the best players to ever suit up for the Boston Celtics. He spent 15 seasons as a pillar of the foundation of the franchise, resulting in one championship in 2008. He's long retired and has had stints as an analyst, but that didn't work out well for him.

Younger fans glorify LeBron's greatness, but in doing so, they tend to overlook and execute poor research on past players. Pierce has had that experience now, as he's often mocked by fans for his controversial "wheelchair game" and not being able to win multiple titles with the Celtics.

His resume may not be as stacked as James', but he's still one of the best. That was especially true in the 2000s, when he went toe-to-toe with the best players around the association like Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady on a nightly basis. Pierce may not be a talent like James, but he influenced the league in an enormous way.
