Season Preview: If watching Paul for 9 seasons and this preseason is any indication, and it is, Pierce is going to have a year that will blow everyone's minds. SI predicted that he would be first team All-NBA, and why not? He is the centerpiece of an offense that has the most unselfish superstar in recorded history (KG) dominating the middle, a point guard that refuses to shoot setting him up, and a weakside shooter that will completely disallow a double-team on the perimeter, EVERYTHING is set up for Paul. We will finally see whether Paul is the superstar we have always maintained he is. In fact, if there has been a player of this generation better set up for personal and team success MORE than Paul is this year, please let me know. I don't think there is one. Since the whole offense will be run through him, we'd better hope that he's up for the challenge.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/11/player-preview-paul-pierce.html
