Re: Paul Sounds Fed Up
"It's definitely another year gone by for me," Pierce said. "It's another year we don't get into the postseason. It's another year I don't get recognized for the things I do. I'm the classic case of a great player on a bad team, and it stinks."
"We're not on a winning team, and as long as that's true, I don't get recognized as one of the top players in the league. We're never on TV. I wasn't part of the All-Star Game [this season]. We just don't get the benefit of so many other things that winning teams get."
"I want to be recognized for what I've accomplished," Pierce said. "That may sound selfish, but I've sacrificed a lot. I want to win. That's all I want. Most great players are selfish.
Interesting how a player that some feel is so unselfish seems only to be interested in himself IN HIS OWN WORDS!!! He even admits he is selfish yet qualifies that by saying that most great players are selfish as if he thinks he is great (good undoubtedly but great??? Not in my book!). He claims to have sacrificed a lot...exactly what would that be? What sacrifices has he made to help the C's? Sure, Pierce wants to win games, that's undeniable, however he apparently only wants to win to boost his own ego and could care less about the rest of the team. In just the above qoutes he uses the terms I or Me 11 times and the term We 4 times? Yep, if he were any more caring about others he'd make Mother Teresa look bad. He doesn't care if he wins with the C's or with another team as long as he gets what he wants. I'm sure his teammates love being referred to as a bad team and are greatful to have the opportunity to be on the same team with someone who thinks so highly of them. I hope they don't feel to unworthy of playing along side such a self-proclaimed "great". If he was really serious about wanting to win and and wants to do it with the C's this is NOT the way to go about it.
#1AWF, I agree with you on one point, I sure don't want a player like this on my team either
