PIERCE VS. LEBRON

Ok, time to start with Lebron.
What has Lebron done that Pierce hasn't?
The only thing that comes to my mind is that Lebron has won an MVP.
MVP's don't tell how good a player is. Steve Nash has won two MVP's, but wasn't even considered a top 3 player. Kobe didn't win an MVP before 2008, but many thought he was the best player in basketball. Anyway, Pierce has something Lebron desperately wants: a championship, and a Finals MVP. Sure, Lebron may have led his team to the Finals, but that was when the east sucked, and all he had to beat was basically Detroit. Pierce led his team to the playoffs twice before KG and Ray Allen, and once to the East Finals. he put up similar stats as Lebron puts up now. Also, now, people consider Lebron better than Pierce because of his stats. These critics fail to encourage the point that Lebron has basically no one on his team, while Pierce has to share the rock with 3 other all-stars (including Rondo, who should be an All-Star).
Also, what can Pierce do that Lebron can't? He can shoot the three better than Lebron. He can close games better than Lebron. He is more experienced come playoff time. He can play at the same level of defense as Lebron can, and bottom line, can win a championship. In 2008, when the Celtics-Cavs series went seven games, who won the battle? Pierce. Granted, Lebron played a great game. But Lebron has yet to prove that he can win, no matter how many points he scores, how many rebounds he grabs, and how many assists he dishes.

As of now, Pierce is a better player than Lebron.

  1. I disagree. The fact that Lebron has no one on his team and still took his team to the NBA finals and the Celtics to 7 games is testament to his greatness. It really helps when you have 2 other Hall Of Famers on your team. Just ask Paul Pierce, who was floundering in the playoffs till Garnett and Allen showed up.
