I don't get the 'Toine comparison when Walker was a passing forward with a mediocre shot selection but who routinely deferred to Pierce for the tough shots. AI, pretty much, deferred to no one and pretty much ran the game the way he saw fit.
so then i would assume you never watched Antoine before Paul Pierce came to the celtics.
I'm in the same corner as all the guys who think hes one of the most overrated players ever.
In fact, LarBrd33, i think nailed it with his anaology of this pound for pound crap, so many guards his size could average big points if they took 30 shots a game.
As for the taking this horribly weak team to the finals, I bet most fans couldnt even think of the teams the Sixers beat on their way to the finals. Even if they can, can you really say that Vince Carter had a supporting cast? What about Ray Allen and the bucks?? I bet they werent any better than Diekembe, Snow, Aaron McKie, and Tony Kukoc. The Eastern conference was embarrassingly weak back then.
