Paul Pierce: If Shaquille O’Neal had been healthy, we would’ve won that year. Go back and look at our record with Shaq. I think we were like 28–3. We were rolling. All we needed was his presence. When you drive the lane, nobody helping off Shaq. The lane wide open. You not helping off KG. I was having a field day. Rondo too. Off the court—man, the laughs. Shaq’s a comedian, big old kid. And Nate Robinson was with him? Man, that was one of the funniest times. We all kicked it. We all went to dinner. Shaq was the only one with a bigger aura than KG. That’s how big he was. He was like a big sun in the locker room. YouTube | Oct. 16, 2025
Shannon Sharpe: But Paul, you know, people don’t look at you as being athletic, Paul. You don’t jump high, you don’t rise. Paul Pierce: That’s why I feel I’m If you take the athleticism out of it. You know what I’m saying? Take Jordan’s athleticism out where he can’t just jump over you to score and we just do everything on the floor, right? I feel like my skill level is… Sharpe: Better than Kobe Bryant? Pierce: Man. Kobe is close. Sharpe: He close? No, no. Look, look. You close to him or he close to you? Pierce: Because if you ever watch Kobe interviews about me, you know, he always talk about my footwork. Yes. And Kobe had elite footwork, too. And so like Kobe without his athleticism was still pretty elite because of that. Cuz his IQ and his footwork. And there’s not a lot of players I can say that about once I take their athleticism. So if there is anybody, he’s right there. YouTube | Oct. 16, 2025
