There has been a recent debate in the NBA world about Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade.
It all started last year when Pierce said he would have had multiple championships if he had played under the same conditions as Wade.
Because of that, many analysts, writers, and fans have compared Pierce and Wade.
Speaking with “All The Smoke Productions,” former Celtics star Antoine Walker praised Pierce and said that he should get more credit from the media for what he did during his career.
He also added that Wade confronted him recently, asking why Walker didn’t defend him more in the press.

Walker is clearly very fond of Wade.
In fact, he was confronted by Wade at an event the Miami Heat star threw for his admission into the NBA Hall of Fame.
He said that he arrived at the Chicago event to “pay his respects” to Wade and that’s when he was challenged about not defending him more.
This isn’t the last time people will debate and compare Pierce, Wade, and their respective careers.
This might be a new post-career rivalry that goes on for some time.
In the end, both of these players were huge NBA icons and did some amazing things.
While Wade may have earned more championship rings than Pierce, no one can deny what Pierce did especially when he was playing with Walker on the Celtics.
Between them, Pierce and Wade have incredible career averages, tons of All-Star selections, numerous trophies and accolades, and four championships.
That is definitive proof that they were both hugely consequential players during their NBA careers.
