I saw that too. My question is this... Did Jordan ever even hint that he though someone actively poisoned the pizza, or just that he got food poisoning from it? They’re two very different things.Some guy is claiming he made and delivered the pizza to MJ. He said it wasn't poisoned and that he's a giant Bulls fan. It was just he and his buddy delivering it.
True.
They had some battles though.
It was closer when PP wasn't 85 after Lebron was in the league a few years.Pierce only had 5 30-point outings in 39 games. He averaged 20 pts and 6/15 shooting against Bron. Lebron completely dismantled the NBA's foremost SF. It's in the same league as what MJ did to Clyde Drexler. Probably worse.

PP has never been the foremost SF.
KD is now. When Lebron came into the league it was T Mac. Since Lebron was drafted it has been T Mac, Lebron, Melo, PG, Kawhi, and KD.
Lebron has killed Pierce many times. Pierce more than got his vs LBJ though.
I looked up the ALL NBA teams of that era. T Mac and Grant Hill made the All NBA t am as SFs during that era.Pierce only played 4 years past Lebron's current age. It's not like he was that old for most of the matchups. It also counts the games where Lebron was ages 18-22 and Pierce was in his absolute prime, so it's square. I didn't even show you playoff numbers. It gets even worse:

T Mac played and was actually listed as a SG when Lebron came in the league and for most of his career.
FWIW, in 2003 (the year before Lebron entered the league) Pierce was listed a SG on 3rd team all-NBA and there were no SF's on 1st or 2nd team.
The only reason Pierce wasn't the best SF in the league is Lebron. In back to back years (2008 and 2009), Lebron was on 1st team and the next SF to make a team was Pierce, so...

TMac made it at SF several times and SG a few time. He is listed as a SF first then SG on his bio.
He was the preeminent SF then. Then Lebron and Melo took over before KD and Kawhi.
PP was never the best SF as his two third team SG picks show.


All-NBA Team - WikipediaYou just straight up lie. He hadn't been listed at SF for 3 seasons when Lebron entered the league. He only played 3 seasons at SF during Lebron's career. These are the years he was listed at SF

These are the years he was all-league as an SF:

Melo was never the best SF. KD was only the best for like 1 year when Lebron moved to PF. Paul Pierce finished ahead of Melo and behind Lebron as an SF on an all-NBA team. If you're going to name Melo, you gotta put Pierce up there too. Again, Pierce finished as the 2nd named SF twice, behind Lebron.
Any way you want to slice it, Paul Pierce and Drexler are great comps.
