Richard Jefferson Says Heat Antagonist Paul Pierce Is More Clutch Than Dwayne Wade
Former NBA player Richard Jefferson may have just added fuel to the feud between Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce.
On a recent appearance on the "Road Trippin" podcast, Jefferson said Pierce was a more clutch player than Wade.
“I will say this,” Jefferson said. “Ball in the hands for a last-second shot, I would probably fear Paul Pierce more than D-Wade. “And I’m not talkin’ ’bout 3-point shot, but if you’re like, ‘Give me — I need a bucket.’ Down by one, I need a two. Down by two, I need a three, y’know, tie game. I’m taking Paul Pierce in that situation over D-Wade.”
Pierce has long tried to point out that he had a better career than Wade. Despite Wade having more championships and being considered the No. 3 shooting guard in NBA history behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, Pierce has often stated his claim.
