Paul Pierce.

He's in Studio 34 out there in L.

A.

Uncle Pete.

What's up?

The truth first.

Got to give a Gatorade bath for the NBA championship game.

Okay, you're looking real wavy out there, and you've got a huge responsibility for our midseason awards.

And this is probably the most important award we're going to give away tonight.

It's the top three players that remind Paul Pierce of Paul Pierce.

You ready for that uncle piece?

Absolutely.

We're gonna start with the top three players that remind me most of me.

I'm gonna start off with the Boston Celtics.

Jayson Tatum, just because Look at his silky, smooth game.

He reminds me of a younger version of me.

He gets a shot off any time he wants to.

He got to step back.

He asked three.

He can get to the basket.

Finished with strength, athleticism, mid range.

That's one guy that definitely reminds me of myself.

We're gonna go to the next guy, Jimmy Butler.

Pure toughness.

That's something I believe I brought to the game night in and night out.

You know, it's gonna be a long night No matter how much more talented you were than me, it didn't matter.

You weren't gonna outwork me cause I'm gonna bring that hard hat mentality every single night.

And that's what Jimmy Butler brings and last on the list, and people are probably going to get mad at this.

But the people who are going to get mad at this really didn't follow my game.

It's Luca Dunkin.

Yeah, I probably wasn't the past, but check it out, if you will.

His offensive game.

There's not a spot on the floor he cannot get to.

I know he's not the most athletic.

He's not the fastest, but check this out.

He gets his shot off every single time any time he wants.

And that was the best part of my game.

Wasn't the fastest, wasn't the most athletic, But I trust me I can get my shot off on anybody.

And the last thing is, he's clutch.

There it is.

Okay, here's my beef, though.

Uncle P.

Luca dance, which is a walking triple double and you average three assists during your career.

That's the only thing.

So, do you have anything you're saying?

The way he scores the ball.

The way he scores the ball and say I'm playing for the way he scores the ball reminds me exactly it all the way.

So I want to give my guy Paul Pierce some love and somebody that took a lot of those buckets from him.

I'm gonna go.

Each person that he mentioned, Number one.

Jayson Tatum has to play under his jersey and under his banner.

I would like to see him go to the free throw line more.

Jimmy Butler is willing to give up the ball.

Paul Pierce shooting that thing.

Paul Pierce shooting that thing.

He ain't hesitated.

What Jimmy is defensively.

Paulie is offensively and Luca.

I like what he's saying about how they move in their body.

Types like I ain't mad at that and Paul Pierce has more game winning shots.

Then Michael Jordan let it be known.

Listen, Uncle Pete, there's a reason why you have your own studio.

There's a reason why you have your own list that remind yourself of yourself being Jalen.

I'm just here, so thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you guys.
