He's more of a superstar than Ray Allen .

What about Ben Wallace?

He can't be more of a superstar cause that would make him a superstar. They are the same level of star status.

[QUOTE=t-rex]You could have a fair point. But if he gets a second ring this year (a legit possibility)

**PHaYze** · 03-07-2011, 10:23 PM

I've heard some people say Pierce>Melo

Overrated if you ask me

pierce is like an old, less-athletic, more mexican/baby looking version of kobe with less skills. And I dont think much of kobe so that is saying somthing.

The Kobe hate is warranted by the amount of Kobe fans that make him look bad. I like Kobe but there are some true knobjockey kobe fans on here. Kobe is better but he's not a god as they tell themselves. Kobe has had a better cast at times over his career can u argue that? and atm they both have good casts and they both are doing well individually and their teams. But you have ppl like ne1 and kobeclutch or whatever that have no idea what they're on about half the time.

pierce is defiantly underrated. people acting like ray and kg only reason he got a ring when infact he is the celtics second leading scorer and before the big three joined together he had no good supporting cast before them.

not true. Pierce is good, very good. Despite never being the most athletic player (carter) or gifted with size or speed, he has always managed to be one of the more skilled players in the league. While he certaintly isn't a superstar (due to his somewhat average athleticism and lack of media hype ) he plays at a higher level than most allstars. And as far as being lucky with getting allen & kg, pierce was able to capitalize with his talented teamates as opposed to carter or tmac.

U know for you to say Kobe is better than Pierce, ID agree with you. but to say less skills..wow...

From a skill/fundamental standpoint.. Pierce is one of the most skilled in the league...

Midrange game,rebounding,passing,positioning..etc..

i may be interpreting the original post wrong, but it seems that kobe is the better player, which would be almost impossible to refute, but pierce has stats that are near kobe's numbers. thus, if kobe is an all star, then why isn't pierce considered one of the top in the game like kobe?

i dont understand how people are saying "he's a star but not an all star." his over 20,000 points should be enough to prove he's a superstar.

and to say "well it's easy for him to get a ring when he has a superstar team." then why aren't the miami heat doing as good as the celtics were in their first season with their big 3? Especially with the heat's big 3 being more impressive on paper than the celtics big 3.

Pierce overrates himself...
2008 after the NBA finals "Im the best player in the world"

He is a superstar in Boston.
I do not even think he is a lock for HOF

Dont get me wrong,, he is a great player.

GTFO

I'm a Lakers fan for life but I respect Pierce's game. The guy is definitely going to be a Hall-of-Famer.

100% disagree, he is a Celtic great mostly because of his longevity staying with the team.

But good luck to him.
