You can’t just say you’re the best scorer in NBA history and expect people to nod along, especially when your name isn’t Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Kevin Durant. But Paul Pierce did exactly that on Thursday’s episode of Speak on FS1. And now? Fans want him off the air.

The 10-time All-Star didn’t hold back when discussing LeBron James’ recent praise for Kevin Durant as the “most equipped” scorer ever. Instead of tipping his cap to KD, Pierce put himself in the mix, saying: “I was probably the best pure scorer ever in the history of the NBA. I was pretty equipped when I think about it. I need to be in this conversation… I must have been one of the most equipped.”

That statement lit a fire online.

Fans Roast Paul Pierce Over Scoring Claim

Social media wasted no time shredding Pierce’s self-assessment.

“Imagine thinking in your warped mind that you were a better pure scorer than Jordan. Is the goal now to purposely say the stupidest [expletive] on sports television?” one user posted.

Another fan didn’t hold back about Pierce, “I know he says this just for clicks, but it works because I loathe him. He’s not even top 50 all-time.”

The frustration didn’t stop there. “One of the more ridiculous statements I’ve heard,” another user wrote.

Someone else added, “Sign. Real. Journalists. For. Sports. Shows.”

Pierce, who averaged 19.7 points per game across 19 NBA seasons, earned a Finals MVP and became a Celtics legend. But calling himself the best “pure scorer ever”? That’s a reach most fans just won’t accept.

Still, FOX Sports hasn’t hinted at any changes to the Speak lineup. If anything, the attention, positive or not, is giving the show a boost. Pierce, alongside Joy Taylor and Keyshawn Johnson, continues to co-host the weekday talk show.

Whether he believes what he said or just wanted a reaction, Pierce got exactly that. But if the backlash keeps building, FOX may need to decide if clicks are worth the credibility hit.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.

Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
