The truth is a dumb nickname and who knows what the heck shaq meant by it(imo he is not a really bright guy)
jesus shuttleworth is also dumb.
I'd nickname pierce mr 4th quarter
The Truth might be the best nickname ever.
What Shaq meant by "The Truth" is pretty simple. Shaq was basically saying that Pierce as a talent is undeniable, his skill is unquestionable, as a player he can't be doubted. All that in two words "The Truth". Scratch that "The Truth" is best nick name ever, and it fits Pierce so well.
I always thought that it was also a subtle play, not a dig, on Iverson's nickname.
