Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has made headlines for consistently taking himself over Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade in the hierarchy of all-time NBA players. Nevertheless, it sounds like Richard Jefferson at least agrees with Pierce in terms of the clutch moments, taking Pierce over Wade in a last-second shot situation.

Paul Pierce drops his reaction via one emoji, yet it isn't very clear whether or not he agrees with Richard Jefferson or not. Pierce probably does agree while Dwyane Wade most likely does not, although Wade seemingly couldn't care less with his recent induction into the National Basketball Hall of Fame.

Regardless of the argument and reaction from Pierce, Jefferson is no stranger to delivering hot takes. Jefferson has become one of the more well-respected former players to turn media and often takes advantage of his credibility to be more courageous with his opinions.
