New York Knicks players and Paul Pierce

NBA Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce has stolen the headlines lately for his recent comments regarding the New York Knicks franchise. Notably, Pierce has had a long-standing hatred towards the Knicks. This is quite understandable as his allegiances lie with the people of Boston. In the wake of this, Pierce recently made a huge claim on the Truth & Ticket Podcast.

Furthermore, Pierce is skeptical about the New York Knicks’ prospects for the 2024-25 season. The Hall of Fame forward turned NBA analyst advised fans to manage their expectations regarding the Knicks for the upcoming season and beyond. He stated on the podcast that he does not ‘believe’ that the Knicks would ever win an NBA title in his ‘lifetime.’

I don’t believe the Knicks will win a championship in my lifetime. I don’t think in my lifetime, I’m just saying they will, but I won’t be around to see it.

On the latest episode of the Truth & Ticket Podcast, Paul Pierce said

This is a huge claim made by Pierce which has caught the NBA community’s attention, especially the Knicks fans in particular.

Last season, Pierce posted a video of himself stomping on Knicks’ All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson‘s jersey. This was on X following the Knicks’ elimination from the playoffs in Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers. Hence, it is quite evident for Pierce to rile up the Knicks fans and not speak anything in support of the New York-based franchise.

Paul Pierce once made a ‘crazy’ comparison between New York Knicks and an Instagram model

Former Celtics legend, Paul Pierce has never been a huge fan of the New York Knicks. Instead, he never leaves a chance to troll or berate them. He did this on the KG’s Certified Podcast when questioned about them and their chances of winning an NBA title. Pierce made a wild comparison about the Knicks, comparing them to an Instagram model.

I’ll be on Instagram and I be like, ‘damn she fine.’ Then you catch ’em in person and you’re like… ‘this you?’ It’s too many filters.

On the KG’s Certified Podcast, Paul Pierce said

These statements made by Pierce quickly went viral, garnering more than 150k views on another NBA legend and podcast host Kevin Garnett‘s X account.

On the other hand, the Knicks had a strong past 2023-24 NBA season. Injuries to their main players hampered their run in the NBA Playoffs. They boasted a 36–25 record throughout the season but weren’t able to compete further due to injuries. Given that, the Knicks’ players will be looking to bounce back and provide a fitting reply to their haters this upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
