LeBron James is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time due to his exceptional professional career, numerous awards, and achievements. During his legendary career, he has developed several heated rivalries with opposing teams and players.
Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce had a rivalry with James during their time in the league together. In a recent episode of the show “Undisputed,” Pierce made challenging statements regarding the four-time NBA Champion’s career.
Pierce, also known as “The Truth,” asserted that he was the reason James transformed from a great player to an all-time great.

“I truly feel responsible for taking LeBron to that next level. When he went to Miami, Game 6 in Boston when we had them on the ropes to go back to the Finals, that was the game that took LeBron to the next level.” Paul Pierce said during the latest episode of ‘Undisputed.’
After Pierce made his statement, the show’s host, Skip Bayless, questioned whether the Celtics star was the one responsible for covering James during that breakout performance in game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.
“It wasn’t a lot against me. I was a little older. I guarded him a little. Brandon Bass guarded him.” Pierce added.
Paul Pierce Gives Bronny James Game-Changing Tips to Dominate on the Court
During the interview, Pierce also offered advice for LeBron James’ son, Bronny James. The 46-year-old former NBA player mentioned that Bronny needs to be more confident in his offense, and he needs to be more aggressive on the court when taking his shots.
“He needs to have more confidence in his offense. I don’t think he was aggressive enough. I don’t think he looked to take his shots…He can be that 3-and-D guy. But he has to show me a little more aggressiveness.. This NBA is a make-or-miss league.. If you can’t make shots, it’s gonna be tough for you to play, especially at the guard slot.” Pierce added.
Pierce also took shots at Kawhi Leonard, who was recently removed from the Team USA roster and replaced by the Boston Celtics player Derrick White.
