In the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, Janis Carr writes "Paul Pierce said it. He meant it. And he still means it. The Boston Celtics [team stats] small forward/guard recently was asked by a Spanish publication whether he thought Kobe Bryant was the best player in the world. Pierce said no. The NBA Finals MVP called himself the ‘best player.' He added, ‘There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.' On Thursday, Pierce stood by his comments, saying he is entitled to his opinion."
