Paul Pierce Makes Bold Admission About The Beef With LeBron James

Paul Pierce criticized LeBron James, and a lot of NBA fans slammed him for this attitude. The Boston Celtics icon said King James wasn’t in his top-five NBA players of all time. Some fans stood by his side, but many others criticized him.

Pierce and LeBron don’t like each other, and Kendrick Perkins knows why. He talked about their feud on ESPN. It all started with Pierce spitting at the Cavaliers bench during a preseason game. According to Perkins, it was actually triggered by the hype LeBron received before entering the NBA.

Paul is talking noise to the bench, right?” Perkins said. “He’s talking big noise to the Cavs bench, and they’re sitting over there, Bron and them, they’re all sitting over there. … Paul actually spits over there at the bench, right? The ultimate disrespect.

“I think Paul, it’s kind of more personal towards LeBron,” Perkins added. “Because there’s no way in hell that you could say LeBron James is not top five. You may not have him as your GOAT, but to say that he’s not top five, that’s just crazy. And I love Paul, but I think it’s more personal than anything.”

Paul Pierce tells the truth about LeBron James

It was nothing but an ultimate disrespect by Pierce. He talked about it during an appearance on “NBA-Countdown.”

“You know the crazy thing about it was, it was a preseason game, that didn’t mean anything,” Pierce said. “I don’t know, me and LeBron going back and forth, the bench is yelling at something. And I look over at the bench, and I’m like, ‘That’s why y’all are on the bench’ or something, and I spit at them.

“And I’m not sure I hit somebody or not, but I spit in that direction. And then it just kind of — tempers flared up, the next thing you know, we was in the hallway, it was about to go down. That’s just kind of, like, the basis of everything.”

This thing won’t end in the near future and we can’t wait to see more of LeBron and Pierce. They have so much to say about each other, right?
