August 23, August 23, recently, former Celtic player Pierce participated in the "GamesWithNames" program and talked about his confrontation with James.

Speaking of the Celtics tiebreak victory over the Cavaliers in the 2008 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, Pierce said: "I mean, this game is one of the greatest NBA games in history. You know, it was not the Finals, and LeBron James was still young, and although many people think he was the greatest basketball player of all time, the young player led the team to a height they shouldn't have reached. It was a competition of will between the core of the two teams. It was a game where you lost and go home. Although that game didn't prompt him to go to Miami, it planted the seeds in his heart because we played again a few years later and he had enough."
