Why Paul Pierce believes he's better than Kobe Bryant

He is known as ‘The Truth’, but to some Boston’s Paul Pierce sounded downright delusional when  discussing his place among the NBA’s elite. According to Pierce, he is the elite, better than every single player, including the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant.

"I have an opinion, I have a right to have one and that’s the way I feel. I felt I’ve played against the best over the years and felt right now that I’m the best player in the world." (Boston Herald, July 31/08)

That’s right. The swingman believes he’s top dog, the mid-eighties Michael Jackson of the NBA –before the Never Land Ranch nonsense and right around Thriller dropping.

Bottom line, the 2007-08 Finals MVP said it. But is Pierce right? And why would he make such a claim?

Even before last year’s playoff, Pierce could elevate his game come crunch time. On February 15th of 2006, he dropped an epic 50 points, seven rebounds, and eight dimes against Cleveland superstar LeBron James. Few could post such an impressive stat-line on James.

Then there's the best player on the best team theory. Boston are world champions and Pierce was their top playoff performer. Over three months, night-in, night-out, he led the storied green-and-white with clutch play.

By declaring himself the game’s best, the Celtic is saying what he always believed. After all, Pierce is a scorer. And scorers must be confident. They have to believe every shot is going in and the ball is theirs with the game on the line. 

But something else is driving these comments. Rewind to draft night, 1998. Pierce was supposed to go third, but fell –on national television, mind you- to tenth. Busts like Michael Olowokandi, Raef LaFrentz, Robert Traylor, and others were taken ahead of him.

Pierce also feels his body of work has been slept-on. Until this year, trade rumors, injuries, and the underachiever label always came up when fans discussed his career. Of course, Kevin Garnett received credit for Boston’s 2007-08 regular season success.

Slights like the draft and water cooler chat have motivated Pierce. Whether you agree or disagree with his claims of being the NBA’s best player, he’s having the last laugh. And, after years of frustration, he’s laughing loudly.

Is Pierce the NBA's best player? Is he better than Kobe Bryant? Get at us in the comment box below and come back to HoopsVibe The Blog for more NBA tidbits. Photo courtesy of geoman.

Paul Pierce is soooooo good. He has the right to say this after Kobe lost HIS chance in the finals. Even if Pierce wasn't the best player in the world and Kobe was, he still should have won that game when they were up by 24, no matter how many hall-of-famers the celtics have....Cause thats what "world best players" do right?

first of all if your going to try to make a somewhat persuasive argument don't talk like a gorilla on crack. its not that hard to put an a before nd. paul pierce couldn't do anything before garnett and allen came along. he's not even the best player on his own team. and for those of you who are saying that kobe isnt the best, i guess you know more than every single player hes ever played against except for maybe pierce and bell. over the all star break lebron said that he is no where close to kobes level yet. not to mention kobe is possibly the best defender in the league. if if was garnett i would woop pierces ass for even thinking that.

Why Paul Pierce believes he's better than Kobe Bryant
Kobe won because of Shaq. And those were some stacked teams in that they were on. That was a 15 man roster with 10-12 players who were still in their primes for the most part and could play well. Pierce never has played with players of the caliber before this season. Would he have won a chip in Boston without KG and Allen, no flatout. But Kobe hasn't won anything without Shaq either. Also Kobe has always carried himself with an air that he is better than everyone, so does LeBron, Melo, and all the other superstars. That is the confidence that is defined by being a superstar, yet in the end no one compares to MJ. Fake or no fake on the injury he still out-played Kobe on an all-around level during the Finals, he deserved the Finals MVP. And regular season MVP only means so much, look at Dirk, Nash, KG in 04, AI in 01, none of them won Chips and only AI made it to the Finals, now that was a true one-man team. Finally Pierce was the main reason for them winning the Chip, if he doesnt go off in Game 7 of the Cavs series the C;s are done, if he wasn't the best overall player in the Finals with the key stops and dagger shots the C's dont win. Kobe had his first shot without Shaq and blew it even though they had the better offense, he was MVP, and he is arguably the best in the World... the best win no matter what... and right now Pierce was the MVP of the World Champs... which allows him to believe himself to be the best in the world

of course pierce isnt the best in the league... not even a top 10 player. may be a top 5 swingman but still... i guess he has a point about that finals mvp stuff but clearly is not better offensively than kobe. with that said, i think only a player like iverson in the 2001 playoffs could sa he was the best player in the league. cghyuijhg has a point iverson is really the only player to single handedly bring his team to the finals. i kno lebron was also said to but remember at least he had big Z. iverson had no one the best player behind him was aaron mckie... yes... aaron mckie... when it comes down to ir, i guess the only thing kobe has to do in order to quiet his doubters whether its showin em how his ass tastes o showin em that hes the best player in the world is to win a ring. afta that, no one will be able to say anything. btw, im not a laker fan lol. in my serious opinion, the best player in 07-08 was chris paul anyways.... kobe was a close 2nd and only got the mvp cuz of all of the l.a. media. not hatin but its tru.

is james a f-u-c-king idiot? did he even watch the same finals everyone else did? pierce outplayed kobe? kobe and pierce had pretty much the same stats. pierce making dagger shots? what a joke. you know who was making dagger shots? it wasn't pierce. it was posey. it was house. it was allen. NOT pierce. true, kobe won with shaq. but shaq wouldn't have won without kobe either. they both benefited from playing with each other. just like pierce benefited from playing with 2 future hall of famers. but that's not the point. you know what differentiates kobe and pierce? it's when kobe was surrounded by a crap team for the past 3 seasons, and he STILL led the lakers to the playoffs in a stacked western conference. pierce had a much better team in the past than kobe ever had in the last 4 years, and pierce couldn't even make the playoffs in the much weaker conference. pretty lame for anyone's standards. you're right that players like kobe and lebron have that kind of swagger, but they never run their mouths off like an idiot like pierce did. what a douchebag, he probably thought that people in america would never get the word just because he was saying this in an interview in spain.

Come on Pierce hasn't done anything in years. Any mediocre player with garnett, allen and other alright players could reach the finals. I understand Pierce cuz he's been criticised real badly throughout his career but c'mon Pierce is not even close to being the best player.Garnett won that ring Pierce just talked trash and faked an injury. I would accept Garnett saying he's the best although i think Kobe and Lebron are the best but i will never accept Pierce saying he's the best when he just likes crying and trash talking.

The Celtics are the world champs. Pierce has been there best player through the playoffs, and has been a bit underrated. He has the right to say he's the top player in the basketball world because of his Finals MVP award. But, thats very very different from saying that he's the best player, which he isn't right now. He still has a long way to reach the likes of Kobe. For the sake of the championship, he's the top player for now, but not the best.

It's a great contrast. Right now Team USA is playing like there's no I in TEAM, getting it together and looking fantastic. Then there's Paul Pierce, nowhere near the Redeem Team (he'd be a great asset if he was, of course) spouting off that he's the best. You're great, Paul, but the best two or three (or four) are on the court, going for gold.

Why Paul Pierce believes he's better than Kobe Bryant
i;ll take that one guy's advice and formulate an explanation that is user friendly. Pierce is not the best player in the league because there are better players than him other than kobe. T-Mac, CP3, Wade(when healthy) are better. everyone says that pierce is great cuz hes a better teammate think about this. T-Mac helped his team get to the playoffs in the west without yao and with a bunch of injured players. He got his teammates the ball a lot if u asked me t-mac is definitely a better player and teammate. but to the real deal, pierce plays some great defense but c-mon he has 2 HOF players on his team. he struggled against atlanta in the playoffs and only played well in game 7 vs, cavs. all that happened while kobe was dominating the nuggets and the jazz, 2 teams better than the cavs and hawks. pierce won the finals mvp i get that but many have won it before and werent considered the best in the league. to sum up my point, pierce is not the best player because he isnt even a top 5 player... kobe, garnett, t-mac, cp3, lebron(in no order and i may be missin some guys) are better than pierce. lol pierce isnt even the best player on his team for that matter. and for the finals mvp, its not like pierce took over every game ray allen played excellent in those finals dont see him sayin hes the best player. pierce=good player, not the greatest.

Dwyane Wade...these guys well except for KG can get 50 on any night...Paul pierce is ok...but he's no team player...what was he doin when the Celtics were losin...ya he might not have had any players but neither did kobe in the 06 and 07 season and he still got to the playoffs..Come on Paul Pierce ur ring got to ur head. Ya u won but its cuzz of Kg and Ray allen that u got it...u cant do anything by urself. Kobe is the best period. Paul ppierce aint even close. for sayin he's the best i say " paul Pierce ur out of ur freakin mind!" COngrats on the ring but ur wack. u flop too much too...ur like a dumber version of ginobli.

and mizzo, kobe doesn't take 30 shots and make only 10. please look up the facts first before you type. statistically, jordan and kobe shoots the same amount of shots per game in their careers, and kobe makes a few shots less than him. and in the contemporary league, there are players who shoot more volume than kobe, like gilbert arenas and iverson, and players who shoot about the same as kobe, like lebron. if you look at true shooting percentage, kobe's the same or better than lebron. you're such an uneducated fool

Kobe is one of the greatests of all time.Even the legends, the coaches and most nba players, that are already superstars are saying that Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world. Even Lebron James said that, Kobe is Kobe. No one can be better than Kobe.Kobe couln't be find in the dictionary, That's how great he is!He is the closest player next to Jordan. What a great man!So Paul, stop being over tooooo way confident.After Kobe, Lebron is the second. He admires Kobe so much. Pay some respect Paul!

Pierce didnt do anything before kg and ray allen? you retards must not remember when pierce was leading the celtics thru the playoffs with that bum antoine walker! kobe hasnt done anything with out shaq, and pirce clearly outplayed kobe in the finals. where was ray allen in the playoffs last year? 2 points, 1 for 12, playing very timid. how about kg taking 18 foot jumpers when boston needed him to play in the post last yaer in the playoffs? who did boston go to when they needed to win? yep, paul pierce, not kg, and not ray allens timid ass. there is a reason pierce was the finals mvp, hes the best player on the team period. how many times did kg get out the first round before he came to boston? i'll tell you....ONE! SOUNDS LIKE RAY AND KG NEEDED PAUL, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Game 7 against cleveland last year? garnett had how many points? rebounds? what did ray do? 10 points if that? pierce had 41, you idiots need to watch what he does and quit hatin, pierce is one of the best to ever do it. wonder what he would have done if he played with shaq in his prime. Who gives lebron the most problems? it aint kobe, its paul pierce you dumb asses, watch the game and stop hating. pierce is the leader and best player for boston, ask doc rivers, kg, and ray allen

OF COURSE I THINK KOBE BRYANT IS BETTER THAN PAUL PIERCE BECAUSE KOBE CAN SHOT BETTER AND KOBE CAN LEAD A TEAM TO A CHAMPIONSHIP. PIERCE IS NOW ONLY GOOD AT THE MID RANGE GAME WHILE KOBYE IS BETTER AT FREE THROWS, JUMP SHOTS, AND HE IS REALLY REALLY BETTER AT SHOTTING THREE POINT SHOTS

Huh? I get the Kobe/Michael & Kobe/Lebron arguments. But Kobe/Pierce? WTF?! Really Celtic fans, cheer for your team, but be realistic about Pierce. He is not even in the conversation outside of Boston.

WTF Paul is no where near Kobes class. Lebron is right behind Kobe. He shows respect how about you Paul? This year I cant wait for Kobe to make you pay for what you said in da 2009-2010 finals.
