Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were seen starting a debate on whether LeBron James is still among the top 5 players in NBA today. For Paul Pierce, though LeBron James is still his biggest rival, he didn’t seem too thrilled to name LeBron in the top five. Instead, he funnily snubbed James to take the names of five players who would take over the iconic basketball player. “Luka Doncic, The Joker, Embiid, Giannis, and Tatum. Shut up. Please stop with this nonsense,” Pierce exclaimed in the clip.

But Kevin Garnett did not agree with Paul Pierce’s opinion and vehemently dismissed it. “You’re a cupcake. You talking that goofy s**t. We talking about Bron. […] N***a 38 doing this!,” Garnett exclaimed. The conversation that ensued definitely seems to be of Dave Portnoy’s liking as he knows the duo making it to his network would definitely do wonders.
