May all props go to Stephen Hawking for teaching Paul Pierce how to play the game of basketball.

It's called skill. Even in his younger days when he had the athleticism he never really relied on it like a lot of other guys today. He knows the game and plays with a guy in Rondo that knows when and where to get him the ball. He's just a beast

Not being from the 80s I wondered similar things about Bird, so I studied his game on yoytube and I understood.

Polished mid-range game, pull-up J, step-back J, off-screens. 3 point shooter. Good finisher. He's just an incredibly skilled basketball player.

good footwork, great shooter and great fundamentals plus he is THE TRUTH

I hit open 5-foot jumpshots with ease
Re: How is Paul Pierce such a good player???
Its because he is very fundmentally sound. Think of him almost as the Tim Duncan of wing players. Whereas his peers likr Carter, T-Mac, Iverson relied more on athleticism (Not to say thats all their games were based around) Pierce always seemed to a little more by the book and fundamental i.e. jumpshot, moving off screens, footwork, post moves.

Is there something that im missing that seperates him from the other sf in the league? I would say hes the 4th best sf in the league at the moment behind lebron, durant and melo
Ask kobe and the lakers, they can tell you something about that!

His footwork, his body size helps, and he has long arms to go with a good shooting stroke, a good handle and toughness as well as not being scared of any other players.. That is why he ***** slaps kobe one day and then does it to lebron the next...
He also knows how to keep his opponent off balance.. Mj was the master of getting space but Pierce is very good at it as well... They used to call that CRAFTY... He is crafty is pretty muCH THE ANSWEr..
