Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce sparked a debate when he claimed that Jaylen Brown deserved Luka Doncic’s spot on the All-NBA First Team, stating that Brown ‘did the most with the least’ while Doncic benefited from playing alongside LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
For all the noise surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers this season, one of the loudest debates now involves a player who doesn’t even wear purple and gold.
Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce stirred things up this week when he argued that Jaylen Brown deserved Luka Doncic’s spot on the All-NBA First Team, claiming Brown ‘did the most with the least’ while Doncic benefited from playing alongside LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
‘I know that’s saying a lot because Luka did lead the league in scoring, but he had more to work with, too. Think about it. He had LeBron all year.
You got Reaves, you know, a lot of most of the year,’ said Pierce, on the ‘No Fouls Given’ show on X.Luka Doncic #77 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the first quarter in Game Four of the Second Round of the NBA Western Conference Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena on May 11, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
‘I thought was in the MVP conversation,’ Pierce said. ‘When you’re in the MVP conversation, you should be 1st Team… I would’ve probably removed Luka (Doncic) for Jaylen.
