Podcast Host Puts Miami Heat Agitator Paul Pierce In His Place

Paul Pierce is among the most unpopular players among Miami Heat fans.

He criticized the Heat often as possible when he was an ESPN analyst. He has a long running feud with Hall of Fame inductee Dwyane Wade, saying he was the better player.

But podcast host Barry Grant Jr., recently put Pierce in his place during a recent episode. After saying Wade had a more impressive career, Grant said Pierce isn't even among the top-tier best players in Celtics history.

"For me it’s like just stop," Grant said. "You're good, you're a great NBA player, you're legacy. People in Boston love you. You’ll never get a statue, though. No, you ain’t Bill Russell. You ain’t Larry Bird. You ain’t Robert Parish. You ain’t none of those guys. You ain’t Kevin McHale. You ain’t that. You good, you ain’t that. Just be happy where you at. That’s all that’s all I’m saying."

Pierce was celebrated as one of the NBA's Top 75 players. He's also in the Hall of Fame, but Grant still believes he is a level below other greats.

"There’s level, there’s tiers," Grant said. "There’s certain people that got government clearance that they can go all the way up to the top floor go to Area 51. There’s certain people that can’t go there. They’re going to go to the bathroom. He’s a bathroom guy. His key fob don’t work, uses the janitor bathroom."
