Not a Paul Pierce hater but certainly no fan at all.
This comment sums up my perception.

"And the Oscar goes to…The player who, during an Eastern Conference finals game in Orlando, was identified on a fan’s sign as ‘RuPaul Pierce.’ The biggest diva in the NBA, that’s Pierce. He sells fouls like 7-Eleven sells Slurpees – constantly. He is as dramatic as an Elvis sighting. He is a soap opera in shorts. The prediction here is it will take Pierce less than one quarter of Game 1 Thursday to be so wronged by a Laker defender that he’ll appear to have been hit by an ice cream truck.”

OBTW i’ve never seen kobe be wheeled away in agony in a wheelchair and then walk back on to the court 2 min later skipping like a loon.
