“I remember going to Perk like listen bro I took some bad shots I’m allowed to take bad shots. I remember a sequence. I was like, “All right, I hit like three in a row, right? So, we come down, we playing Philly. I’m telling you, I come down. Perk is wide the fu*k open. I’m talking he is wide the fu*k open. I see him in everything. I look I just hit three in a ROW. I FIRED ONE OVER LIKE from deep and I missed. I was heat check. I was like, “All right. So we get to timeout he was like P I’m wide open. I’m like I know you was wide open, right? I said, I saw you. That’s a heat check, but if I shoot it I need you to get every rebound”

Paul Pierce and Danny Green says the NBA players in early 2000s were way more exciting to watch and had more AURA than today’s NBA 👀
Pierce: I feel like players in the early 2000s were way more exciting to watch than now. The celebrity was bigger. We had more aura. We had way more aura, I’m telling you… it’s still the old heads Steph and LeBron. Wemby got some aura but the average fan isn’t watching Wemby, Joker. If Iverson was playing we gonna see what Iverson doing tonight. Let me see what McGrady might drop, Vince is on tonight! Kobe and Shaq! Let me see what KG doing he might dunk and spit on a mf. It was more Aura like we had to tune in. I’m playing dominoes an Kobe has 60 at the end of the 3rd like what!?
Green: Now it’s not cool to act like a celebrity no more. Like you’re not watching KD like that no more, even Golden State with Steph killing, you’re not watching Golden State cause they ass
