Pierce is so overrated....he's celebrated for putting up worst #'s then Kobe in the finals.....he's never been on a 1st team all defense....1st team all nba......how many times has been an all-star?..started in the all star game?...how many times did he lead the celtics to the lottery this decade?.....he has no scoring records..... princess pierce = worst finals MVP ever...and his #'s in he regular season/playoffs were below avg for a "Superstar"

^^ pierce was clearley the best player in the finals last year. he made plays whenever they were needed. there was the 4pt play in the first game and dont get me started on how he got to the line so well in all of the other games. he not only had a great finals he made all the big plays against the cavs as well in the conference finals.

I used to like Pierce when he was struggling, in a sense that I felt for him being a good, underrated player who was in desperate need of some help around to actually start winning something...but you're right, he's been heavily overrated ever since the finals. it's like he did a 180. Not to mention, he acts like a total shithead on the court. Amazing what a little bit of confidence will do to your "humble" ego.

yeah say what you want about him but his still a great player and to me winning a championship after what his been through is great. it was only 6 years ago the guy was stabbed in the face and neck in a nightclub, it would be kind of hard to be level headed after an incident like that.

I agree ; lots of Celtics players have been losers for their entire carreer and now that they won a ship , they think they are the 2nd coming of MJ or Magic ...even if I don't like him , I have at least some respect for Ray Allen who kept the same attitude...  I can't wait til KG get punched , same for Perkins and House aka "teacher of Vinny Del Negro" ...
