Paul Pierce

I have been a basketball fan for a long time and have had a number of players that I strongly dislike; Rasheed Wallace, Ron Artest, and Reggie Miller to name a few, but I cannot stand Paul Pierce. The other day I was watching the daily top 10 or 5 depending on the day at nba.com and came across a Paul Pierce moment. A little background of the play was Paul Pierce drove down the middle of the lane and goes to dunk over Center Chris Bosh for the Raptors, however, if you actually watch the play he clearly sticks his leg out and kicks/knees Chris Bosh right in the man berries. Now I'm all for facial dunks but come on! The crowd goes crazy and this is a top 10 play. It should be a technical and the points should be taken back. Any player that goes in for a dunk should know that they are going to be met by someone. My feeling is that Paul Pierce knew that he was going to get blocked or contested and played a middle school card and stuck his foot out for separation.

As you can tell from the picture above Paul Pierce is in an agonizing amount of pain. It appears as though he either may never walk again or he is looking for somewhere to wipe his head. But if you remember this was during the NBA Finals during a Lakers comeback. This acting job was pathetic. While many debate if he actually was hurt I feel there is no chance anything happened. He got carried off by his team mates due to his inability to walk and then he went as far as to be put in a wheel chair. Now if I was handicap I would be offended by this. Come on you may or may not have actually bumped knees or tweaked it but there is no modern medicine that would bring you back on the court after 3 MINUTES! Another reason why Paul Pierce is just a crummy person.

My last rant on Paul Pierce has to do with the much debated gang symbol he threw up at Al Harrington in a game. Sure the Celtics were losing and yes Al Harrington did say some words his way, but really your going to flash a gang symbol on national television and pretend like your going to do something. For some reason this guy who clearly has no class what so ever is getting paid millions of dollars when he can't even be grown up enough to except losing.

Overall, Paul Pierce is a child and very large one at that. He can't accept defeat has no class and continues to believe that he is the best player in the NBA. He thrives on crying for fouls and is the biggest faker in the NBA. If he played professional soccer even they would get tired of his antics.
