Paul Pierce says he 'pioneered' the stepback during Luka Doncic stepback montage | NBA Countdown 

Chauncey sounds like everybody in the comment section

Paul Pierce pioneered out of shape players still being good

🍀Paul Pierce ain't lying. He didn't invent it, but he DID make it popular in the 2000's. People need to realize that players who aren't freakishly athletic have to find other ways of scoring to be dominant. People called him out for not being athletic his whole career, now there not even acknowledging how he got past that, which was to be crafty, creative, smooth, strategic, and CLUCTH. Give the man his credit. It was known as "the Paul Pierce Stepback" for a reason. Just because he didn't create 9 f*ckin feet of space doesn't mean it wasn't effective. It was very effective. Matter of fact, the amount of space left should've given the defensive player an opportunity to defend or block, but they couldn't. Pulling something off, in tight spaces, or in the nick of time not only shows superior Clutch skill but also makes things more exciting. Think about it, which dunk would you rather see, LeBron dunking with no one around him, or Lebron dunking ferociously in the face of a 7 footer who was millimeters away from blocking it? Pierce isn't THE greatest but deserves his respect. He carried that garbage Celtics team for nearly a decade before back up arrived. HAll Of Famer, All-Star, Champion, Finals MVP. PAUL PIERCE #34🍀The Truth🏀

he might actually be right, i grew up watching the NBA in the late 90s and early 2000s era and i can't really even recall players regularly using a step-back until following pierce.

everyone got different opinion but for me.. i agree with paul that he made the stepback famous.. everyone forgetting how good pierce in his prime.. and thats his signature move.. when u think of stepback, u think of paul pierce and thats a fact

I cant lie growing up we did call it the paul pierce stepback

Paul had a sick step back in his days... Especially in the elbow its almost buckets everytime

Paul Pierce definitely made the Step back famous...he don't get enough credit!!

this is so fun man, I really miss Paul on TV

To be fair James harden doesn't step back.. he travels back in time

Y do people act like Paul Pierce was a scrub

Paul was a pure scorer so that's why he's so arrogant. He's broken all the Celtics records. He's a champion as well. Let the man live!

Paul Pierce is one funny dude. Loved watching this earlier...😂😂😂

Chauncey’s reactions hilarious

Paul Pierce cant never give nobody props. He got to give himself love because nobody does!

Tbh I like the Paul Pierce step back more . It looks more natural & smooth . The James harden & luka step backs just look like travels

He did?! I grew up in his era and he had me doing the step back. Paul pierce is the truth

I respect Chauncey’s Humble Vibes 💯

The only thing Paul Pierce pioneered was heading to the locker room in a wheelchair 😭

only thing you pioneered was playing with 3 all stars and not being loved like kobe foh

2:20 savage hahahaha

Paul Pierce telling the truth, didnt use the move that much because he didn’t have to, he could create space with the turn around fadeaway or his signature pull up midrange jumper. Same with Kobe and Tmac. Paul Pierce used that move more consistently than anyone in the game so yes he did make the move famous. Not saying he created the move, because you can find clips of Jerry west, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson using the move, but in terms of making it famous I would say he’s the one!

I watched this video 4 times because Paul Pierce was so damn funny AF hahahaha

0:34 i love billups reaction. Here we go again 😂

Paul pierce was an amazing basketball player. His step back was legit . I agree he was the first that had commentators " vintage Paul pierce" or say " that patented jump shot" back in the day.

This may be the only video I agree with him completely. Everything before Pierce and that era was all about flashiness - dunks and fadeaways - fundamentals, physicality and defense. The crossover came and became even more popular with A.I. Then, the step back.

Paul Pierce was pure gold on ESPN, they need to bring him back.

Loved this clip of the show

Billups “so you created the step back?” All time side commentary 😂

The things Paul Pierce did before Celtics were good dont sleep. He was a beast. He literally was why Boston was on tv still

paul pierce had no step back LMFAO

from someone who pays for cable, this was great television.

I remember watching Larry Legend using the Step Back to full effect.

LOL!! This is television gold! 😂

I know Paul doesn't get enough credit for how great he was, and he feels slighted. But he's gotta stop with them self promotion. Hof and one of them games best scores, enough already

The stepback was one of my favorite moves to use..... I began using it when I was 11...

I’ve never seen a great player like Paul Pierce so desperate for validation

The Chauncey Billups part was hilarious there he is lol lml

Had me laughing the whole time, it was fun to watch.

Chancey and Paul Pierce are an underrated dup

Paul just won't stop! 😂😂😂😂

Doncic is actually taller than pierce 😂

Watch Ginobilis old Nike tutorial video showing his signature moves, you'll see where these guys got it from. There's clips on RU-vid.

Looking into this montage, Doncic has EXACT same body type as Paul Pierce.

Paul's sound effects during his highlight. Ha! Haah! Ha! 😂

All u kids haven't watch pierce play his step back was his go to move to create space or to score I'm ngl he pioneered that move

Chauncey after Pierce says he pioneered the stepback is Golden😂💀

Pierce was smooth af....

He's not lying tho

I enjoyed this banter

Pierce is always a riot. LOL

Paul Pierce turning into ESPN's version of Charles Barkley! hahah

Paul Pierce talks out his ass a lot but if you grew up watching 2000’s basketball, you know he speakin somewhat facts. Wouldn’t say he created it, I would give that to Dirk. But it definitely was a staple move in his arsenal

He did , that was his go to move -

this was the funniest segment of nba countdown.

These 3 have great chemistry

gotta love it

“ I didn’t invent it tho” 😂😂

Paul also invented the one-legged-fade-away but he was so kind to let Dirk use it

That is my guy Paul Pierce, Celtics Legend he is the truth

No lie he did, I'm 31 and I loved hooping. Before harden who has the best step back ever. Da truth was doing it and could not be stopped.

He didnt invent the stepback but he made it a go to move since he's not as atheletic as tmac or kobe, craftiness and his edgy attitude help him survive in the nba on an elite level for many years, us 2000s fans knows how special pierce was

Give the man his respect!!!! Name 1 player who has more game winning shots with that move… I’ll wait

Pierce did stamp that move, that was his go to move and it was unstoppable. It wasn't very fast or as pretty but you could not stop slim. 😂 Respect the TRUTH!

I could be wrong but i remembered seeing the step back and if im not mistaken it was his go to move was latrell sprewell.

THIS IS HILARIOUS

Call me crazy but dirks stepback is my fav lol 🔥😮

That true

Paul pierce actually did have at least one of best stepback 3pt shots for a lil bit. DWade had the nicest mid range stepback game.

Get pierce off TV

Luka and Pierce have that slow but nasty-crafty game.

He probably created it or invented the move.. Because I've always enjoyed watching lakers vs boston game and he use stepback a lot at that time and as a kobe fan even kobe was a victim of Paul Pierce step back too..

Big facts....Peirce made that a go to shot, manu made it famous....harden made it op..... S.n. kembas step back is nasty as well, I remember he couldn't shoot that well in college....now he gets the space & wet shyt up

The background music still gets me

its True

C,Mon just ask Kendall .. , before griffin , Simmons , Clarkson and dbook ... It was me .. -Paul Pierce

Thiss guyy.. 😄

Back in 08 modeled my perimeter game from The Truth, that mean jab step back of his and his fake spin move then step back, he had that in the bag man.

Paul is trollin' chill people...

The difference between Paul Pierce and Chauncey's step back vs James Harden and Luka is that PP and Chauncey did not travel. The 9 feet thing is only possible because it's a travel the NBA is becoming weirder by the year. Everybody was cheating from time to time but now it's so blatant that they even have highlights and show it off. Smh

Facts

It’s the Truth 🙌🏼

Paul, never change man. Lol

Song??? Please

I love Paul Pierce. He’s one of many Celtic greats but pioneered the step back..? thank you, next

Michelle Beadle "here he is" on Chauncey Billups throwback highlights 🤣🤣

Lol i i didnt even like paul pierce but i cant lie he was the truth....lol yall youngins dont know basketball.

Paul Pierce looks like he plays in slow motion, yet he beats his opponents off the dribble and can score. It’s such a Paradox 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Don Luka!!!!

He really did

That music in the beginning....

Give this main a wheelchair. Paul Pierce acting like he create the step back LOL

Paul Pierce Stepback was fire he really did pioneer it
