Mike Gorman: I want ball in Pierce's hands than Bird

[9erempiree]

This is very true and most people would shrug off the idea that Pierce has an argument over Bird as the greatest Celtic. Here's is Mike Gorman, play by play guy for the Celtics, his opinion on Pierce vs Bird.

Some more quotes on those that agree with me from the Celtic hierarchy.

Please stop trolling in my thread.

pierce is a very good clutch player. but common he's like top 70 all time. bird is top 10

[TheReal Kendall]

I think I would take Pierce also.

[CelticPride13]

While I agree that Pierce is very underrated, Bird is a top 6 player all-time. Pierce is not more clutch than Larry.

Why does that matter?

People on here are too obsessed with rankings.

People are overrating Bird. This is the same guy people have above Kobe on their top 10 list when Bostonians and Celtics' hierarchy are making claims that Bird may not even be the best Celtic player.

ya who cares if a player is one of the top 10 players ever and the other is top 70-80 all time. why should how good a player have anything to do with whom you'd rather have taking the last shot

especially when that top 10 player ever is probably more or at least just as clutch as the 70-80th ranked player


bird might not be easly picked over a modern day legend such as lebron or kobe

but over pierce? common its not even a question.

Here are Boston fans going crazy for Pierce when he passed Larry. Obviously the cheers and ovation really put into perspective of how good Pierce is.

Larry had the better resume due to great teams.

Most of his success is due to the great team he was on.

I get what you're saying but most of those people on the all time list had great teams.

You could take the #15 person on the list and he probably wouldn't be able to beat the #70 person on there 1 on 1.

I just don't put too much stock in the all time list cause like I said some is individual success and some due to being on great teams.

There is no doubt Pierce's career parallels that of Larry.
