LeBron James is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time due to his exceptional professional career, numerous awards, and achievements. During his legendary career, he has developed several heated rivalries with opposing teams and players.

Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce had a rivalry with James during their time in the league together. In a recent episode of the show “Undisputed,” Pierce made challenging statements regarding the four-time NBA Champion’s career.

Pierce, also known as “The Truth,” asserted that he was the reason James transformed from a great player to an all-time great.

“I truly feel responsible for taking LeBron to that next level. When he went to Miami, Game 6 in Boston when we had them on the ropes to go back to the Finals, that was the game that took LeBron to the next level.” Paul Pierce said during the latest episode of ‘Undisputed.’

After Pierce made his statement, the show’s host, Skip Bayless, questioned whether the Celtics star was the one responsible for covering James during that breakout performance in game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.

“It wasn’t a lot against me. I was a little older. I guarded him a little. Brandon Bass guarded him.” Pierce added.

Paul Pierce Gives Bronny James Game-Changing Tips to Dominate on the Court

During the interview, Pierce also offered advice for LeBron James’ son, Bronny James. The 46-year-old former NBA player mentioned that Bronny needs to be more confident in his offense, and he needs to be more aggressive on the court when taking his shots.

“He needs to have more confidence in his offense. I don’t think he was aggressive enough. I don’t think he looked to take his shots…He can be that 3-and-D guy. But he has to show me a little more aggressiveness.. This NBA is a make-or-miss league.. If you can’t make shots, it’s gonna be tough for you to play, especially at the guard slot.” Pierce added.

Pierce also took shots at Kawhi Leonard, who was recently removed from the Team USA roster and replaced by the Boston Celtics player Derrick White.

Ice Cube Has Everyone Scratching Their Heads By Picking Former Lakers Legend In Place Of LeBron James In His Ultimate 3v3 Team

The name LeBron James instantly brings memories of unmatched dominance in the NBA. His legacy goes beyond on-paper statistics. Because of his impressive strength and smart play, the Lakers star is a must-have for any dream team.

Recently, rapper Ice Cube also revealed his dream 3v3 team, which includes some great NBA stars. However, he shocked the world by leaving out the current NBA king, Lebron James.

Nobody expected Ice Cube to leave LeBron James off his 3v3 fantasy team, but he delighted everyone by including two former Los Angeles Lakers greats. He went for an all-star lineup featuring Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal. When Cube tried to choose the best three from their prime, he emphasized how tough it was to pick only one.

The rapper justified his pick to Jeff Eisenberg of Yahoo Sports,  stating, “It’s hard not to go with Shaq… you can’t lose with Kobe, Jordan, and Shaq. How could you lose with that combo?!”  Cube’s choice highlights the domination of Lakers icons from the past, even though LeBron is a powerhouse in basketball right now.

The 55-year-old has always acknowledged Michael Jordan as the all-time best player. Besides, he saw the Kobe-Shaq period firsthand as the two cemented their position in basketball history by winning three championships together. So, from his perspective, they are the formidable basketball trio, at least on paper.

LeBron James Admits New NBA Contract Might Mark His Final Run

The coming NBA season is very important for the Los Angeles Lakers after their unfortunate first-round loss last year. So, they chose to retain LeBron James for the next NBA season, which is an intelligent call. Meanwhile, LeBron actively supports the team, even offering a pay cut to help the front office sign key free agents. Although this is a favorable decision, a recent discovery from the ageless wonder of the NBA has cast doubt on his basketball future.

Time is running out for LeBron James’s legendary career as he enters his 22nd season. He told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin that he’s 39 years old and knows his current deal may be his last, but he hasn’t decided yet.

In the interview, he claimed, “I mean, it could be [the last contract I will ever sign],” James told ESPN. “I’d never sit up here and say, ‘Oh, maybe not.’ Yeah, it could be. Easily. But we’ll see what happens.”

However, we may never know when LeBron James will retire from basketball, but when he does, fans everywhere should expect an emotional and riveting farewell.

VIDEO: The “Hawk Tuah” Girl Has Some Legit Competition As A New Internet Sensation Has Men Falling In Love All Over The Country

The “Hawk Tuah” hype has died down in recent times, and it appears a new female is ready to take Haliey Welch’s place as she’s popped up in a timely interview that has men falling in love all over America.

The young woman, named Sloane, hasn’t gone viral over anything sexual, unlike Haliey. Instead, she’s been wowing men with her college football knowledge – well, at least those who aren’t fans of ACC teams.

The video below shows Sloane being interviewed on the street. Her interviewer hits her with a dating scenario that sounds like a complete turnoff, unless you’re a woman who enjoys college football.

“He’s a 10, but he’s a degenerate sports bettor that sits on the couch every Saturday for 12 hours. He doesn’t even get up to go take a piss,” the guy holding the mic asks.

Her response is something just about every football fan would want to hear.

“I mean, it depends on what he’s watching,” she explains. “If it’s SEC, he’s an 8. If it’s ACC, he’s a 3.”

Dude Had The Interview Of His Life And Found The Next “Hawk Tuah” Girl At The Same Time

The interviewer had to profess his love after the fire response and even got an “I love you too.”

“Protect this woman at all costs,” one user urged.

“She is the one 🔥,” another added.

“She knows what she wants, and knows football. Give her credit,” someone wrote.

“Damn she bad too,” said another.

So… sometimes, you have to push your luck, and that’s precisely what he did after her response, telling her he wanted to kiss her. She let him have that, too.

Check them out below:

Sloane even tapped him on the behind after.

Will she go as viral as the “Hawk Tuah” girl did and ride an extended 15 minutes of fame? It appears she’s off to a great start, but time will tell.
