Message: [QUOTE="Deleted at users request, post: 5066962"] I don’t even think Pierce had an aesthetically pleasing game. I personally hated watching Pierce play because he was slow and sluggish. But he had more scoring skills than the guys of today, FG% aside. He was a great 3 point shooter (even in his best years on bad Celtic teams it hovered around 40%), post up game, amazing footwork, and had one of the best go to moves in the game with his elbow pull up. There wasn’t anywhere on the floor he couldn’t score. Guys in today’s game don’t even have a go to move that they’ve perfected. Only Devin Booker has that kind of skillset that Paul Pierce had to really be a complete scorer rather than an analytically driven player. Main point is though, Paul Pierce is on the low end of the high level wings from that era and this can be a legit discussion with the best of today. Agreed on the point guards and bigs. Who were the 2s though? Reggie Miller and 6’2 John Starks? [/QUOTE]
