Recently, Pierce said on the "No Fouls Given" program that he is better than Wade because his skills are more comprehensive.
Pierce said: "To be honest, I didn't want to jump out and talk about this topic. Someone asked me this question. I thought at the time, 'Hey, I'm better than Wade.' It was more based on technology. Of course, Wade is a three-time championship member and FMVP. He also has many honors. That resume is indeed different, but in my case, It seems that I am a more comprehensive player, I can play multiple positions, can do more things on the court, and have a longer career, and when I was in my prime, I did not have the blessing to play with more Hall of Fame players, but I also have to pay tribute to Wade. He is one of the historical stars. I am not disparaging him, but someone asked me this question at the time."
