Paul Pierce > Kobe Bryant

—

The simple fact of the matter is that Paul Pierce is, was, and will continue to be better for an NBA team than Kobe Bryant. Sure, Kobe’s more explosive, athletic and prone to give you a “SportsCenter” moment… but Paul Pierce has been just as effective, more efficient, and a better influence on his team. Their career averages are all virtually equal… yet Pierce has had far fewer public meltdowns

  Except for, you know, the three championships and the better career statistics.

    the slightly better career statistics.  And its not Pierce's fault that the Celtics organization has been an absolute mess for his decade in green

      Pierce is certainly having the better series so far, but his career numbers are closer to Michael Redd's than they are to Kobe's.

    They both have zero rings without Shaq.

  The only facet of the game (and I use that term loosely) in which Paul Pierce is "greater than" Kobe Bryant is in uniform numbers.

  Pierce is a great player, one of the best of this generation. Kobe is beyond great, and one of the best of all-time.

  It's not Kobe going around bragging that he is the best player, it is the commentators.  Paul Pierce just got lucky this season and believe me he is no Kobe Bryant.  Paul Pierce thinks he is shit on a stick but he isn't piss in a dixie cup!

  Go Kobe
