Re: Pierce vs. the top 2's in the NBA
after Vince's performance in this years playoffs....you might wanna hold off on the McGrady's a loser crusade...
Vince has only made it out the 1st round once....his team made it to playoffs without him...that says more about Vince than any post can....
I remeber back in 2000 when all the talk was how Vince is the next great one.....someone wet their pants against the Knicks....but I guess that was McGrady's fault too....since he is a looser

I know plenty of old timers and HOFer's that claimed defense in the late 90's and early 2000's weren't as good as the 80's. Wilt once said he'd average 70 ppg in the modern-day NBA because defenses were so much worse. Pippen once said KG was a stats guy who disappears down the stretch of games. Bill Walton once said Rasho was a better interior defender than Tim Duncan because Tim Duncan was on the bench at the time. Barkley once said Argentina was located north of the Indian ocean.
