Et tu, Paul Pierce? - The Truth on Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, and More

You may have heard that Paul Pierce recently traveled to Spain. The Canadian Press touched upon it in this article, which caught my eye for three reasons:

1. Pierce maintained that team USA needs a gold more than the C's needed championship 17.

2. Pierce talked about playing in Spain at some point.

3. And then Pierce went out and jumped on the Jason Kidd bandwagon,

"And one individual stands out more than the others for the tournament: 35-year-old point guard Jason Kidd.

'He's able to push the tempo,' Pierce said. 'He's the only guy on that team that hasn't lost a game in international Olympic play. His experience in the Olympics is really going to help.'"

I've watched some footage of Team USA and the Kidd stuff is nauseating. At least twice I've seen players praise the Dallas Mavericks point guard in his presence and he absolutely loves it.

In other Paul Pierce news The Lakers Nation recently posted an English translation of a answer from this interview with The Truth. Granted my Español is not strong. In fact it's borderline non-existent. However, that seems accurate after my use of a crappy translator. Check it out for some Kobe Bryant talk.

About the PP interview

Something seems fishy with this interview. It seems taken out of context and possibly lost in translation? The Laker fans of course will eat this up because they are sore losers and they hate any talk of another player playing better than their beloved Kobe. PP was the better player in the finals, but probably Kobe is the overall better player. I think PP has a better attitude though and I would pick him over Kome any day.

The Interview

The translation I got was a poor one and came off as someone speaking English as a second language. So I’m not sure. I will try and touch base with someone who has command of both languages. However, I definitely think it’s a minor thing even if Pierce said that. There can’t be much of a precedent of Finals MVPs admitting other players are superior. This won’t even be a story by November.

Green Bandwagon: Celtics '08 or bust. Are you on the bandwagon?
