rating Pierce

[gene kirkpatrick]

I would choose Pierce or Havlicek or D. Wade, for example, over LeBron.  LeBron is a force of nature.  He is likely, if not certainly, to be an all-timer--perhaps one of the top 15 ever.  Maybe.  But I resist those players who become an "institution." Le team, c'est moi!   Unlike Garnett and Duncan, he is part of management, it seems.  I like his demeanor and his teamwork, but he's not the type player I'm comfortable with on my team.  He's like a Kobe, but nicer.  
   
  Not that this was the question, but I think that Pierce or Wade are the types who are more likely to fit into a championship team.  No, Pierce is not more talented, but then Wilt and Dr. J were more talented than our guys.   Gene
