Paul Pierce talks Celtics Big 3, Clippers dark cloud, why Lakers struggled, Ant-Man | NBA | THE HERD

Undisputed Co-Host and NBA legend Paul Pierce joins Colin Cowherd to discuss why the Boston Celtics Big 3 with himself, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen could have been a dynasty if they joined together younger. He then breaks down the LA Clippers' ongoing struggles and why the Los Angeles Lakers continue to fall short in the playoffs. The Truth also explains why fans lean towards Anthony Edwards as the new face of the NBA and whether Kevin Durant should be traded from the Phoenix Suns.

Paul looks happier with fox 😂

[@friedbergje]

I saw Paul Pierce at a small airport in CO. The planes were delayed. A fan walked up to give Pierce love for his time in Boston. He was so gracious to the fan and Pierce talked to him for long while. He was friendly and courteous. Already I had respect for him as a baller. Definitely respect the person too.

[@callumalston5755]

He’s always been like that with fans, when he goes back to the garden he’s literally like any other fan.

[@jasonwolfe3252]

I've had the chance to meet him too and he was a great guy. It bothers me that he gets hated on like he was some kind of scrub.

[@donnyringo7862]

He’s a cool guy

[@shanenelson5811]

Absolutely he's a great human being. Seen him in Lawrence, Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse a couple years back. Guy is so humble with regular Joe's.

[@gswvera6853]

Paul Pierce was on fire on the show. He’ll be back, watch 🔥

Pierce might have singlehandly saved Undisputed

[@jameyregier8054]

Love that you had Pierce on. He was my favorite player and I really miss him on the Celtics

[@Rosecain27]

“Jmac” is atrociously bad for TV. Idk how he ever made it this far

[@diegobromfield]

Pierce a cool dude. They kinda ruined my basketfall fan moment during my final year in high school when they beat the Lakers. But that aside he's a good dude. And he and KG definitely deserved to win that chip.

[@kanajingly8957]

Yeah, he's always been a chilled laidback relatable dude who overcame a lot and played like an absolute stud as well.

Those two names don't really go well together. I'm just saying that as a hardcore Paul Pierce fan 😎

[@TheDeanthedon]

Celtics play style complimented each other perfectly with rondo

[@xro1983]

Now I gotta go watch rondos highlights

[@kanajingly8957]

KG was the defensive anchor, Rondo was the floor general, Ray Allen off your catch and shoot, Paul Pierce as well off the catch and shoot and transition 3's on the wing, and also your closer. Perk was also a great defensive anchor on those Celtics teams. Plus that team was super hyped with the most magnetic personalities in the league. Was a great time being a Celtics fan.

[@ForeverBleedinGreen]

THANK YOU PAUL!!! FINALLY, here's an NBA legend, Celtics standout, and Ambassador of our beloved sport, who finally reiterated VERBATIM, what I've been saying ... well ... all my adult life as a Boston Celtics fan, and that is, in the NBA (and in all the big 4 American sports I feel), "DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!" Period! Again, thank you Paul (please excuse the pun), for speaking once again...The Truth! 🍀

[@mado3623]

Paul Pierce in the house!!!!

[@professorhoratiohufnagel1341]

Paul probably wants to go work with Collin after experiencing him compared to Skip. Night & Day!

[@heygringo7]

[@user-us6on7qs6k]

Really no credit to Rhondo? Rhondo was the one who kept these guys happy. It wasn’t a big three, was a big four.

We are all sick of it. First round exit, and just blames everyone around him. Yet, media talks 24/7 about a losing team. We want basketball, breakdown, and logical conversations about basketball, not the drama surrounding LeBalco for another 5 years

[@dakotashanenunley6928]

Colin is so good at matching/bringing out the energy for guests. I’ve seen Paul countless times in interviews and always thought he was boring/didn’t have much to say-turns out he just needed someone to let him be himself.

The Truth

[@dskwared2u610]

When the Thunder decided they were tanking for picks, Donovan decided to go to Chicago. Daignault knew they would be missing the playoffs and he would be part of the process.

[@charliemartinez4694]

I wonder what NBA team a particular fan who's been watching for more than 30 years would say, "I never thought or dream that that team would be popular" or maybe phrase in a different way... I would be shocked if the Hawks, Pelicans, hornets, blazers, Kings, jazz, grizzlies, nets, wizards win and NBA championship... Of course the blazers already got one but it's just like I said about the Bucks damn!!! Y so serious 😈🥃🃏

[@gugy68]

Clipps to get rid of the curse, should have moved to Seattle. Balmer would be loved forever, especially being a local guy who brought back basketball. In LA, the Clipps, even in a new building always will be in the shadow of the Lakers.

[@noahm7977]

Says he's seen Tatum be a dog in games and refers to the all star game 😂

[@jammer9941]

I mean he's dropped 50 in game 7 against Philly last year, 46 in Milwaukee down 3-2, he dropped 50 on the Nets to avoid getting swept on the year after the bubble where half the team was injured for the playoffs so it's not like he's never dominated in the playoffs

[@DP-fo4cm]

Oh but because Tatum is a Celtic he can back him up on his Dawg mentality when needed to be tapped into but I recall anytime someone mentions how Lebron is, he always discredits him. Pierce is a Lebron hater.

[@mrsheev9131]

No. No you don't. Tim Duncan is at minimum, a top 10 player of all-time and a top 2 player of his generation, and he was about as far from a 'dawg' as could be. Tatum has a similar mentality and Duncan's example proves that being a dawg is hardly necessary to win and be successful.

[@charliemartinez4694]

Kevin Durant needs to go to a team where he has to be the fourth option Golden State he would have been the fourth option but three players decided to move over and say here take the number one spot Let me tell you something, if Paul George goes to Orlando I think that's where Kevin Durant could fit perfectly Y so serious 😈🥃🃏

[@matthewstuart840]

When the Lakers have injury problems they blame the organization. Flawed team. With the Clippers it’s always a mistery, a ghost, a shadow, the building. Ridiculous.

Wait, wait, wait. Lebron is liked and has no killer instinct and it’s fine. But Taytum is compared to Kobe and MJ. Again Lebron gets a pass.

And never will I ever cheer for the San Antonio Spurs! Funny how I get back for having two teams in football two teams and basketball yet that son of a b**** maybe because he's famous yeah that's why, he can have as many teams and no one says anything.

Why Lakers struggle? Lebron! Ham will get fired because every coach that has coached Lebron gets fired except for Spo because Riley knows better. Lebron needs to go!
