Paul Pierce and LeBron James are known to be arch-enemies and shared a number of heated battles throughout their careers. And if you’ve been following them over time, you know for a fact that Pierce isn’t too fond of the four-time NBA champion.
Their rivalry dates back nearly two decades ago, and even though it’s been a couple of years since the two players last touched the NBA floor together, Pierce has never missed the chance to throw shade at the 38-year NBA icon.
However, this time around, the Boston Celtics Hall of Famer took a different route and decided to give LeBron a rare praise after the Lakers superstar became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on Tuesday night.
