As expected, the announcement of NBA's Top 75 all-time list garnered a ton of controversy. Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce received the ultimate honor of being named on the prestigious list, but unsurprisingly, there have been more than a few people who believe that The Truth does not deserve his spot on the list.

Some folks are arguing that Dwight Howard should have been on the Top 75 list instead of Pierce, to which the Celtics icon clapped back with his own brand of savagery:

Sarcasm was Pierce's weapon of choice in responding to his haters. It also looks like the former Celtics star has been quite active on the mean streets of Twitter as he's taken the time to respond to a couple of these slanderous claims against him.

The vibe Paul Pierce seems to be giving off here is that he simply does not give an F about all the naysayers. He knows what he's achieved in his career in the NBA and the fact that the experts consider him to be Top 75 all-time cements his legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Nothing the haters say or do can take this fact away from him.
