<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One question keeps coming up with every mention of Iverson possibly landing in Boston: Can Iverson and Paul Pierce coexist? "I think it would work out with the two of us," said Pierce. "I played with the biggest jacker in league history in Antoine Walker, didn't I? He was just jacking up shots. At least Iverson might go hit them at a higher clip and get to the free throw line." When asked for the key when playing with someone like Walker or Iverson, Pierce added: " You understand what type of player he is. Certain times when [Walker] took certain shots [that were ill-advised] I'd go and tell him. And he'd listen, especially coming from a player like me, whereas for other guys it would probably be hard to talk to him. But when you're playing with another guy who's an All-Star, there's a respect factor that comes into play."</div> Source
Walker's highest FG% was 43.5. Pierce definitely has a point, but I do think he was just joking. Isn't he still cool with 'Toine?
For some reason, I find it hard to believe that Pierce actually said that. Walker is supposed to be one his best friends.
He might have only been joking around, but it's true. Then again, Walker has referred to himself as a "volume scorer" so maybe he doesn't care.
I'm sure Tonie is crying over these comments while looking at something Pierce doesn't have. His nice shiney championship ring.
Nah Pierce and Walker are great friends. I remember them showing Pierce in the stands during the Finals last year rooting on Toine. I guess the paper does make it look more serious.
Pierce probably said this only because he and walker are close pals. As far as the comment itself, pierce is so right!

Rings mean nothing; if one plays well in the playoffs, but his team loses, that can't be his fault.
<div class="quote_poster">I-Miss-MJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Not that Antoine deserved it.</div> Yes he did, he gave them 13 and 5 on 48% from three in the playoffs. He was believe it or not a big part of their success.
