What stands out to you? What stands out to me is that Pierce has a ring, but if Vince had ever gotten a squad close to that in his prime would he have had a ring(s) by now too? Then again VC has a Gold Medal which some people value above an NBA Championship.

So who is better now? Who will go down as the better player when it is all said and done? Discuss.

Pierce is better NOW.

And will go down as the better player because he had a ring.

Better player now is PP.
But I think Carter is the better player of the 2.

Thing that sticks out for me is that Pierce has a ring but VC is the better between the 2.
