Paul Pierce Congratulated LeBron James With the Most Confusing Tweet

Uh, what?

LeBron James and Paul Pierce had many classic battles back in the day when they were both in their NBA primes. 

Pierce, of course, is no longer playing in the league and has been enjoying retirement the past few years while also keeping up with everything going on in the game.

Tuesday night the former Celtics great was just like all of us—watching on TV as James became the NBA's all-time leading scorer and then dropping a F-bomb on live TV during his celebratory speech. 

Pierce celebrated James’ achievement, too, and it seems like he might have been celebrating too because his tweet about it was tough to read: 

Honor to say I had a chance to match up with The GaoT I’ve alway never acknowledged u as King but u Truly the King #lRespect no player in NBA History had the pressure coming in the league to exceed expectations not only have u live up to it but u have surpassed it #allhailtheKing

That was a lot from The Truth! From calling LeBron “The GaoT” to saying he’s “alway[s] never acknowledged u as King,” this was, well, quite a tweet.
