Paul Pierce says All-Stars and MVPs are selfish players

[se7en]

Okay, so he didn’t call Nash out by name, but he did refer to MVP candidates. I tend to agree though. Great players have to be somewhat selfish and confident enough to takeover a game when it counts…

… Pierce did not fault Iverson for being a selfish player, or at least being perceived that way.
"I think all the great players in the league are selfish to some degree," said Pierce. "That's what separates the players who make the All-Star teams or are MVP candidates every year."

My dry sense of humor obviously doesn’t translate very well to the faceless Internet. I personally thought it was funny. However, I do apologize if I’ve offended anyone with my apparently confusing, hurtful and divisive remarks…

From your sense of humor, it seems like you'd be optimal for performing at the Cricket Pavilion.

So, I guess he's also calling himself selfish.
