Why is everyone taking Paul Pierce so serious with the statement he made?

Question

If you watched any press conferences with him and KG they obviously are sarcastic and don't take they self too serious like other players. I know people want to find anything to talk about, but I say let it go. As a competitor when asked if a player is better than you, most players will be honest and say no I think I'm the best. Ask Chad Johnson the same question, is such and such better player you? He will be just like Pierce and defend his game and say no I'm the best player. Let's get real ain't too many professional atheletes walking around bragging on other players game.

Answer 1

even if u r sarcastic u still kinda mean it so he still said it.and u dont just go around sayin u r bettr than Kobe.even if its sarcastic

Answer 2

its annoying me 2. for those of you that say paul pierce isnt even good, you probably hit your head a birth cuz paul pierce just schooled kobe in the finals and abused the lakers defence. he might not be the best in the NBA, but is definately one of the best in the east

Answer 3

Just because you're good doesn't mean that you can boast and nobody cares about it.And Paul Pierce ain't even good.

Why do you take our hating so seriously?

Answer 4

Cause the guy is a disrespectful punk. He is far from the best player in the league.

Answer 5

because paul pierce is a moron who flash gang signs and Ramondivc was guarding kobe during the finals kobe would score the same amount

and one more thing if pierce was so good y is he not in china rite now?  

Answer 6

Laker's fan and Kobe suffer from Small Black Mamba Syndrome!

Answer 7

Idk. maybe all these haters need to stop hating on paul pierce because kobe is not the best in the nba. I totally agree with you. If somebody ask me if this person is better than me. I'm going to say no i the best. All thses haters need to get over thereself.

Answer 8

Well, people did take him seriously, because that title, everybody gave to Kobe Bryant (who did in fact lose to Paul Pierce in the Finals). I agree with Pierce, being the best, to the point after the Finals. When the new season starts, he doesn't deserve the title, and needs to earn it again. But as he demonstrated in the Finals, he did in fact defeat the "Best Player in the World"

Answer 9

Chad Johnson is actually funny and he doesn't insult players.Paul Pierce is a ******* douchebag that won the lottery when Kevin Garnett signed with Boston.

Answer 10

I think hes testing the people, see if anyone has a sense of humor left.

Answer 11

I don't even know.

Nobody has any right to say that he isn't the best player in the owrld because he just won the NBA Finals. So for RIGHT NOW, he is the best player. Next season, will probably be a different story.

I mean, he destroyed Kobe. And you guys are saying HE is the best player. Yeah right.
