Paul Pierce on beef with Dray, LeBron's greatness, Celtics Big 3 stories | Draymond Green Show 

got stabbed 11 times and still played 82 games. and we talking about load managing in this day and age

Pierce is the most underrated player of his era because people think his career started with the Big 3. Bro was drafted in 98'.

They gotta put some respect on Pierce. He was 25 ppg in an era when only a few was at that level. CONSISTENTLY 🔥🔥

I really fucking loved this interview. Changed my view of Paul Pierce with everything he’s gone through in his life

LeBron and Pierce matchups were legendary!

Paul Pierce's "bag of tricks" is one of the best. Superior mid-range game. All-time favorite

No Pierce was never on the talent level of Kobe but as a Celtics fan, people outside of Boston don't understand that for a long stretch of time that spanned over a decade, Pierce was OUR Kobe. Pierce was always a player that when you needed a clutch shot or a game winner, it felt like he would always come through. He was the best small forward in the NBA until a few years into LeBron and Melo's career. Always will be a Celtics legend. Salute to the Truth and this was a solid interview.

Paul got the Finals MVP trophy in the frame. Oh yeah baby, my favorite player. ROCK CHALK.

Paul Pierce is one of those rare NBA veterans whose doing well and it is good to see a Black Man in older age doing well

Everyone is tuning in for that ONE topic😂😂

W Paul Pierce the legend man. Idc he’s an all time great!

Didn't know that Paul didn't hear draymond ...that just made the story even more funny 😂

As a Celtic fan, there will never be another PP and that's the truth! They should make a biopic on this man!

If the youth don’t know PP was a bad boy! Real nigga fasho! And I’m a Bron fan😂🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Tatum is more talented, but he'll never have the heart and/or balls that Pierce had. Getting pantsed by Artest and putting a side-step 3 in his eye is an underrated legendary highlight. Dude was cold blooded

Man getting stabbed 11 times ain't no joke. It takes some metal to power through all that go on win a ring. Hell fucking yeah this man's the TRUTH! 34

This is going to be fucking incredible. The Truth is in the building!

Solid interview. Respect to both.

The ad placement right before Pierce tells his side of the story 😂😂😂

PAUL PIERCE THE MOST UNDERRATED MAN. THE FUCKN TRUTH!!!!

The Truth slander always blew my mind. One of the most underrated and under appreciated players the game has seen. Great podcast from DG

No lie this is drays best interview

THEY DON’T LOVE YOU LIKE THAT😂 shoutout truth he really one of them ones made big shots went at it with the best of them

Love and respect to both of these dudes. Legends of the game. PP - As a Celtics fan, LOVE the Truth. He gave us so much and was SUCH a killer. Only haters and casuals try discredit what a PROBLEM the Truth was. As Draymond said, 'at the end of the day, you don't get a nickname like the Truth if you ain't NICE.' Draymond - I always say I judge whether someone knows the game or not on what they think of Draymond as a player. Those of us who know the game inside out, know Draymond's value and that GS don't win ANY of those championships without him. A defensive genius, a push the pace big who can orchestrate your offense. He's 1 of 1. Again, only haters and casuals disrespect Draymond. He's a 1st ballot HOFer

WHAT??? This is the duo that I didn’t think I needed!! This is fantastic!! 🤣😂 Two legends right there!!

2.30am watching draymond green show .in Australia 🇦🇺 No work got knee surgery . Feel like a bum .not grinding Draymond always give me hope and inspiration 🙏

Good shi Dray glad you and Paul could chop it up we needed this 💯

'you know what im talking about' a.k.a Jordan Poole🤣🤣🤣

The Truth is really the “Truth”💯

Been wanting this! Not really because of the trash talk, because already heard Paul’s explanation .. but i just think these 2 together would be hilarious just chopping it up..

Started off as a C’s fan til I realized my hometown had a team in like 09. It’s crazy that one my top 5 all time was born in the town like me. The truth don’t get enough respect.

Big-ups to Paul Pierce for his candor . Love you man !!

Wow, none of knew that neither Paul or Draymond couldn't hear the other person. An incredible bow to tie up this story. I loved Paul asking about when Draymond is retiring and the laughs they had about that potential future.

Love this man.. Grew up idolizing Paul. Just wish he got his flowers more bc he was really that guy.

I'm not go lie ain't nobody ever lock this dude up Paul was tuff mr34 was one of the greatest 2 guard's to ever play

Wow - both men are outstanding people, you can just tell from this conversation. Respect to Dreymond for inviting Paul Pierce, and big respect to Paul Pierce for sharing his story with us all. Personally, I did not grow up in the hood - not at all. So after hearing his narrative, it really opened my mind up to what it might be like to be in his position. A very important story to be told, and very important message. Thank you sir. Very inspired.

lol he’s producer showed love and he was like yea anyway ask drey about the game plan on Jalen brown..😅😅

Boston thanks Paul Pierce,one on the best to suit up in the Garden ❤

Draymond and Paul Pierce both were villains so they would both get Booed but they were/are great competitors and the game will miss Dray when he’s gone like the game missed the Paul Pierce’s and KGs today

Great mf convo wow. Loved the hood talk and all the behind the scenes Ray Allen info

Paul p a real one met him Houston he was down to earth

Thank you Draymond Green for bringing up rondo people don't know how special that point guard is only real ones know about him 💯💯

This was great! Definitely one of my favorites

Very good interview. Glad you guys chopped it up and had a great conversation.

“They don’t love you like that “

S/O to Dray and Pauly man! We needed this dog

Love this interview dray having the best conversation out here on these platforms

One of the best ones yet!!!

Would never thought this can ever go down .. Cool shit .. Nice to see two dudes just chatting organically... Given their history...

One of the best interviews, the chemistry between paul and dray was awesome who would of thought

Appreciate dray for this! The TRUTH must be told! Shoutout to PP ❤

I was waiting for this episode patiently 😊 finally!!

LOVED this segment.....Dray and Paul..

Loved this conversation! Gotta hear more about that Hood to the League conversation. That is needed.

Starting my day off in a great way

Great interview

Love you Dray. Real appreciative warriors fans ain’t quit on you

I had no idea Paul Pierce got stabbed 11 times while playing in the NBA that’s crazy

Two of my faves … love this interview 🔥🔥🔥

This is the best interview on this podcast 🔥👏🏼

Yeah!!! Let’s go! 😂 needed this one. Game recognize game.

The Truth up in here!!!! Loving this!!!

Great conversation. 2 legends

This one is nice interesting topic. It’s nice to patch team up between the two of you

I grew up watching NBA late 90’s and The truth is badman!

😂😂😂 “as a matter of fact “, you reminded brah to set trip when you said blood 😂

This was a great interview 😝😝😝🙌🏾

Dray a real one for this. Truth brought a lot of good memories to Boston 🍀

Say what you will about Draymond...but the dude is an awesome interviewer.

Absolutely loved this pod. Just a couple dude kicking it and keeping it real.

This legendary’ 2 legends 2 of the realest’ ayo man now I remember unc chasing that fair well tour

Great Pod episode

Fire interview with a legend

Great interview with the Truth! 🏀 Paul you getting Draymond all worked up at the end about that game lol😂

Needed this one, much appreciated 🙏

So much love and respect on this episode I fucking love it thanks to these kings

Great build Dray and Truth !!

Great interview guys 👌🏿

My Dad was a big fan of Paul Pierce, any time we hooped he would yell “The Truth!”

love me some Draymond Green, and Paul Pierce

Draymond asks great questions. Luv this interview

Straight to it. no foreplay 😂

Ohhhhg shit I was not expecting this!! 🔥🔥🔥

PP is right about D wade. He played with lesser players/teams for most of his career. The first year he actually got a squad he was finals MVP. Probably would have 2 more if not for unlucky injuries. If I was looking for a piece for a big 3, I’d take truth over flash but it would be close.

the mutual respect between these to is amazing. love to see it!

2 of the realest. Im surprised paul gave lebron his props

Thia interview is so dope 💯

Great interview, I really enjoyed it!

Dope show 🔥🔥

Dray, I have never been a Warriors fan, but this channel has damn sure made me a fan, of you and the team. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a Celtics/Mavs fan, and the Nugs are quickly becoming a fav as well, but I am loving this channel man. 👏👏

Great convo. Respect

Dray really appreciate u the nba would t be what it is without you big dawg

Speaking of that new juice 😂😂😂

Dope interview 🔥🔥🔥

Great interview fr

best sports podcast on youtube. Love to hear the players perspective. and they like Dray..:)

Great interview!

Pierce is one of the best interviews going right now, he's so good at telling stories and giving you inside info you never heard. Totally underrated as a player too, Shaq didn't give him that nickname for nothing.

This was classic! Salute!
