He’s so underrated. Kids these days act like he’s not good because he couldn’t hit 30 foot shots. He’s an amazing defender and one of the best floor generals ever. He is the definition of one.

Kids these days will never know how insane and crazy this man is. His passing ability is one of the best plus he is great on defense too. One of my favorite players of all time.

[@nolanhall8519]

That behind the back fake was so nasty. And it was so effective because he’s an excellent behind-the-back passer too. Really underrated in his prime

[@teteskone41]

I'm quite sure nobody underestimated him in his prime, he could dominate a game even without scoring. His prime was just too short.

[@keefermarr8375]

he has so many fakes and counters based of a basic straight-line drive. It's beautiful

[@JB_TheRock]

@@teteskone41 it's becasue his team was bad, if you're a passer you can only benefit off of good scorers, once kg and pierce got dealt he had no one left, then he bumped all around the league. If he had a good team throughout the 10s he would be an all time great

[@js2010ish]

Celts wouldve won this chip w him on bench

[@milesdavis5326]

Four all-star appearances, four all-defensive teams, three assists titles, one steals title, two NBA championships - one where he was pivotal and another where he was very impactful. An amazing career to date.
