Paul Pierce arrogant statement

Paul Pierce says he's the best player in the world

By J.E. Skeets

Finals MVP Paul Pierce, who recently spent three days at a ball camp in Madrid, is making, ahem, news about what he said to a Spanish reporter. The money translation, via RedsArmy: "Q: Is Kobe really the best player in the world? Pierce: I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player. There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself." Surprisingly, Spurs fans seem more upset by this than actual Lakers fans. (Update: OK, Lakers Nation is pretty upset, too.)

All he had to say was scoreboard.

I actually am in agreeance. I was just sayin' that all he had to say to convey the same message was scoreboard, but yeah that statement was awesome-o. All he needed was Skandor Akbar to stand with him to call Kobe Bryant an "American punk," then proceed to throw a fireball at Phil Jackass.
