Paul Pierce on Tuesday stuck up for fellow Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum. Pierce and the rest of FS1’s “Speak” panel were discussing the Celtics’ Game 1 West semifinals loss to the New York Knicks.

As Jayson Tatum looks to add to his already impressive résumé, Paul Pierce thinks he might surpass Kevin Durant on all-time lists soon.

Led by a dominant Jayson Tatum, people are starting to question where he is on the all-time totem pole. Celtics legend Paul Pierce believes Tatum is on his way up, and thinks he could even catch ex-Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant all-time.
