Stabbed 11 times and he still played 82 games. People talking about they got an ankle sprain and missing games or even load managing. Different cloth, last of a dying breed, and that is the TRUTH!

[@maintenance_K.id55]

Maaan i love how u put it. Last of a dying breed

[@Pizzle0529]

But at the same time, he played through pain and trauma tho. Y’all okay with him not sleeping, playing with internal injuries, carrying weapons to the games and stuff… it’s bigger than basketball y’all…he feared for his actual life bro. Then he got stabbed IN the city he plays for … that’s a different breed for sure but he was never the same. Y’all cool with that?

You definitely never played basketball if you think an ankle sprain is easy to play through. You can't heal if you play through the ankle sprain. If one continues to play through an ankle sprain, it can lead to a broken ankle dork.

[@Zoneread24]

He gotta evolve though. A lot of these guys the format is an interview. It should be a conversation, maybe express how he would feel in that situation or tell a story of a crazy incident he seen or heard from a teammate or friend.

@@Zoneread24 why does it need to be a conversation? If he’s interviewing Paul piece, he should mostly be listening to pierce and asking follow up questions and whatever else he wants to ask.

[@TheRealTruth533]

He played 82 games because he wasn't from an entitled and spoiled generation of athletes. That's why Draymond. Lastly, Pierce went to criminal court got on the stand and pointed at the individuals charged in his stabbing. One received 20 years in prison, another received 7 and 3rd person received 5 yeara. I notice no platforms ask questions about his cooperation and testimony in trial that assisted in convicting those 3 individuals. Why ? Because most of these platforms have a no snitching, keep it real, I'm from the hood, real " N" word mentality. Which is poisonous and ignorant. Go watch any interview with Pierce in regards to this situation and you'll see they never ask about the cooperation and testimony part.
