Wait, what? Maybe four years ago. He's not close to top 10 now. Let's see: LBJ Kobe Wade Paul Howard KG--when healthy Kevin Durant Brandon Roy Carmelo Anthony Yao Ming You're right 1908, Pierce is no longer a Top 10 player. Then when you throw out players like Chris Bosh, Deron Williams, Al Jefferson, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, Danny Granger, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Caron Butler, Shawn Marion, and I don't think Pierce is even a top 30 player at this point in his career. About the "C game" comment, no way that is dead on. Pierce couldn't convince himself with this statement is true, much less people watching in. The "Truth" is, Pierce knows the C's are in trouble and they were bailed out because of stupidity in the 2nd game. I definitely wouldn't put Pierce in the top 10, but no way would I put guys like Bynum, Butler, and Marion even close to him. They're another tier down.
