On the First Random Od I give you a recent Paul Pierce interview.
Paul Pierce: "I'm Better Than Kobe"
Pierce waited to be overseas Madrid, Spain to be exact to make some outrageous comments. When asked if Kobe Bryant was the best basketball player in the world he answered:
"I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player. There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself."
And his top 5 players in the NBA are: Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Paul Pierce.
Waw! Pierce not only you are full of yourself for putting your name and your Boston buddies in your top 5 but also delusional for thinking because you won 1 NBA Championship that you are better than Kobe. Before even comparing yourself to Kobe you need to get to his level with 3 championship rings, 2 All Star Game MVP and one regular season MVP. Then we the fans and sports analysts will start comparing your game skills and decide who's the best.
But let just assume that you are at his level for the sake of the debate, there is no way your talent and understanding of the game surpass Kobe's, There is no way your defensive skills surpass Kobe's and there is no way in Earth or in Hell that you'd be better than Kobe or Lebron or Wade or Duncan or Garnett. Now I understand as a professional player you convince yourself every morning when you wake up in front of a mirror that you are the best in the league to boost your ego and confidence but next time when you are asked keep it for yourself and show some humility.
Let's be real here, Pierce wouldn't be where he is right now without Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Last year Paul Pierce wasn't even talking like that because he was missing in action for the Playoffs.
I'm better than Kobe. Pleeeeease, in your dreams you are.
Get it right next time!
