'Best Pure Scorer Ever': Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce Sparks Debate with Bold Self-Claim; LeBron James and Kevin Durant React
Paul Pierce (Image via Getty) Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce recently ignited a firestorm among NBA fans by declaring himself the 'best pure scorer in the history of the NBA,' placing himself above icons like Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. The bold assertion came in response to LeBron James ' recent praise of Durant as the league's most 'equipped' scorer ever on the 'Mind the Game' podcast. Paul Pierce's Claim and Reasoning On Fox Sports' 'Speak,' Paul Pierce argued that while Durant's height (6'11') gives him a unique advantage—allowing him to shoot over any defender and 'not really see defense'—Pierce himself should be included in the conversation for greatest pure scorer. He insisted he could do it all offensively: pull up from the elbow, knock down threes, and score in the post. Pierce did concede that his shooting efficiency was lower than Durant's, admitting, 'I shot more bad shots than Kevin,' but maintained that his overall scoring arsenal was unmatched. Fan Backlash after Paul's Statement: 'He Needs to Slow Down' Kevin Durant and LeBron James (Image via Getty Images) NBA fans were quick and merciless in their response. Social media erupted with disbelief and ridicule: - 'He's not even a top 50 scorer of all time 😂😂😂.' - 'For a guy nicknamed The Truth, he sure does lie a lot.' - 'I love the Truth, but he needs to slow down.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo - 'Never averaged more than 26 by the way!' Many pointed to the statistical gap between Pierce and Durant. Durant has averaged 26+ points per game in 13 of his 17 seasons, while Pierce only reached that mark twice and averaged 20+ points per game in eight seasons. Durant's career shooting splits and scoring consistency far outpace Pierce's, making the latter's claim difficult for fans to accept. Kevin Durant's Reaction to Pierce's Claim Interestingly, Kevin Durant responded with unexpected grace. Instead of firing back, he supported Paul Pierce's confidence, saying, 'I didn't really see a weakness in Paul's game. I understand where his confidence comes from'. This mutual respect between two generations was a rare moment of sportsmanship amid the heated debate. Context and Legacy of Pierce's Self Praise Paul Pierce's confidence is not new; he has a history of outspoken takes, especially in his post-playing media career. While his scoring prowess—highlighted by his 2008 Finals MVP and ranking 18th on the NBA's all-time scoring list—is undeniable, most analysts and fans agree he does not belong in the same tier as Durant when it comes to pure scoring ability. Durant, still performing at an All-Star level at age 36, continues to demonstrate why he's widely regarded as one of the most unstoppable scorers in league history, combining size, skill, and efficiency at a level few have matched. Also read: Austin Reaves' Agent Denies Rift With Luka Doncic as Lakers Reaffirm Commitment to Star Duo Paul Pierce's self-comparison to Kevin Durant as the NBA's greatest pure scorer was met with widespread skepticism and humor from fans, who pointed to both statistical evidence and the eye test. While Pierce's confidence and career achievements are respected, the consensus remains that Kevin Durant's scoring ability is on another level, and Pierce's claim, as many fans put it, means he 'needs to slow down'.

Rangers, Padres each looking to solve struggles at the plate
Too often since their 15-4 start, the San Diego Padres have been punchless offensively. Rangers, Padres each looking to solve struggles at the plate They hope to turn things around beginning Friday, when they open a season-high 10-game homestand with a series opener against the Texas Rangers. San Diego is coming off a doubleheader split Wednesday in Philadelphia that saw it turn nine walks into a 6-4 win in the opener before being stifled during a 5-1 loss to the Phillies in the nightcap. The Padres went 2-4 on their road trip through Cincinnati and Philly, scoring just 16 runs. But manager Mike Shildt points to the patience his team showed in Wednesday's win as a reason why the Padres are capable of being much more productive offensively. "If we do that, this team is going to be unstoppable," he said. "We were very stingy. weren't going to give them anything that wasn't on the plate. You know there's no absolute in this game, but if you do that with the talent we have in the zone, then we're going to be a very dangerous team." Third baseman Manny Machado, who was voted an All-Star starter for the National League, said the team has made adjustments that are close to paying off. "I think guys are starting to get back on their plan," he said. "I think it's going to be fun when we start rolling again." If they can get rolling like they were in the season's first three weeks, it might make things easier for Friday's starter Randy Vasquez . He last pitched in Saturday's 6-4 win at Cincinnati, getting a no-decision after allowing four runs in 4 1/3 innings off nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts. He will face Texas for the first time in his career. The Rangers counter with Kumar Rocker , who's coming off a good start in Saturday's 3-2, 10-inning win over Seattle. Rocker threw six innings, yielding four hits and two runs while walking one and fanning six but did not figure into the decision. He is facing San Diego for the first time in his career. Texas is coming off a home series win over Baltimore, blanking the Orioles 6-0 in the rubber game on Wednesday night. Marcus Semien drilled a three-run homer while starter Nathan Eovaldi worked five innings, allowing two hits and one walk with five strikeouts to improve to 5-3. The Rangers feasted on the Orioles' struggling pitching staff for 22 runs in the series, representing a much-needed offensive explosion. They enter the series ranked 27th in the major leagues in batting average , 27th in on- base percentage , 25th in runs and 26th in slugging percentage . A recent casualty is third baseman Josh Jung, a World Series hero two years ago who was shipped to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. "The best thing right now for Josh and this club is to let him get some at- bats with Round Rock," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. "We need him." Too often, excellent pitching has been wasted. Texas leads MLB in earned-run average and WHIP while allowing opponents to hit just .226. Despite that, the Rangers are 2 1/2 games out of the AL's final wild-card spot heading into a 10-game road trip that could determine if they look to add or subtract at the trade deadline.
