Pierce: 'I'm the best player in the world'
By Janis Carr
HAWTHORNE — Paul Pierce said it. He meant it. And he still means it.
The Boston Celtics small forward/guard recently was asked by a Spanish publication whether he thought Kobe Bryant was the best player in the world.
Pierce said no. The NBA Finals MVP called himself the "best player."
He added, "There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself."
On Thursday, Pierce stood by his comments, saying he is en led to his opinion.
"That's what I said. I am a confident player and a lot of people might look at it like 'Oh, another y at ude,' but I don't look at it that way," said Pierce, who is in town for his annual youth basketball camp at Hangar Athletic Xchange.
"I have an opinion, I have a right to have one and that's the way I feel. I felt I've played against the best over the years and felt right now that I'm the best player in the world."
Pierce said his comments were not a knock on Bryant, who was named the league MVP. Nor was he saying that Bryant was conceited and he was confident.
"You could have asked me about any other player and I would have given you the same answer," Pierce said.
He added, laughing, "I would have said that (if he thought Bryant was conceited)."
Pierce also maintained that the best team won the NBA le last season. The Celtics defeated the Lakers, winning the best-of-7 series, 4-2.
"I think the Lakers are a great team, but I think they ran into a better team," he said. "They (Lakers) beat the best in all the Western Conference, they had the guy who was named MVP and the best record after the arrival of (Pau) Gasol. But they just ran up against the better team.
"I think they will be a great team next year. Maybe we'll see them back in the Finals."

I'm still laughing at all the Spur's fans who rooted for BOS in the Finals. Rooting for the devil.
how are the celtics the devil ?
You know you've hit rock bottom as a sports fan when you are rooting for a BOS team. Especially one led by this clown.
I'm glad KG finally won his le, but yeah, Pierce winning it really makes it suck. Now, he thinks his opinion is divine law. Now he'll never shut up. Now he'll think he needs to put his input in on anything and everything. He'll be poppin his jersey after every made basket, jumping on the scorer's table. Dude is annoying.
The article is right, and so is Paul Pierce.
He IS en led to his opinion, no matter how stupid it is.
i think you're just bitter because the Cs knocked out the pistons....
how does he think his opinion is divine law ? all he said is it was opinion and he was en led to it. whats wrong with that ?
I didn't like Paul Pierce before the Celtics got good this year. I've always been a fan of KG and I'm glad he won a le. I was happy for him.
Pierce also said publicly that the Knicks they should part with Marbury. He also made some comment about LeBron. The guy has a big mouth and now he thinks he needs to give his input on anything and everything. He's spit at players and fans before. And, his WWE act with his hurt knee against the Lakers wasn't the first time he did that. A few years ago against the Pacers, he faked like he got hit in the face by Jamaal Tinsley and in the post game, he put an ACE bandage over his entire head... and was serious.
Dude is a .
that boy can ball though.....seriously
And in my opinion he's a jerk.
Yeah, no denying he's a serious baller. He came up big a bunch of times in the playoffs. Definitely raised his level of play when it counted.
He just annoys me.
be honest...you wish he was playing SF for the pistons.
Over Tayshaun Prince? Yeah of course. There are about 10-12 other small forwards I'd rather have on the Pistons than Prince. Does that mean I don't think Paul Pierce is a ? Nope.
If i ever saw his ass out here, i swear to ing god im shanking his ass.
It pisses Me off.
Pierce is from Inglewood and probably rolls deep. I'm sure he'd have his boys cut you up before you got to him.
If he's the best in the NBA for having a great playoffs and Finals than Parker was the best player last year, Wade the year before that, Duncan the year before that (though i agree with THAT one) and Wade th year before that ...
He is NOT the best player in the NBA he maybe top 10 ...MAYBE!
Tell me about it. I was always pretty neutral towards him and his antics + plus this are giving me KG levels of annoyance (sorry LOL) I wish he would just STFU.
I still agree with Pierce.
I couldn't be happier for him, and KG winning.
And while I never thought he was the best ever, I am happy for Antoine Walker for winning a le too, who I used to love to watch with guilty pleasure. The only one I really dislike from the '08 Celtics is Doc... and maybe, just maybe I don't give him enough credit for his seemingly absurd rotations...
Hah, inglewood is not even that ghetto.
Inglewood always up to no good.
He is en led to his opinion, but so am I.
IMO, he is full of . He is a good player, you could argue a great player--but best in the world GMAFB
he probably said "Crip better than Blood...no doubt..thats my opinion"...bam! Shanked!
Paul is jealous of a lot of players.
