People are VERY angry that Paul Pierce said Kevin Durant is better than LeBron James

After Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Paul Pierce said Kevin Durant is the best player in the world. Then, Durant hit the game-winning 3-pointer in the Warriors frantic Game 3 comeback and Pierce doubled down on his statement.

Truth Hurts #truthjuice 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️get over it I told y'all

And now the LeBron James crowd is pissed. That's good for us, though, because it led to a lot of amusing tweets.

In 3 games we went from Is Lebron better than MJ to KD is better than Lebron

My favorite hot take right now is that KD is better than LeBron because he is playing well on a team that had 73 wins last year
