Paul Pierce looked back on LeBron James’ iconic Game 6 performance in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals: “He came to Boston, Game 6, I think it was in 2012, and he gave me the 40-something piece, because I was about to go back to the Finals. He played the game of his life... I helped him get over the top, because I had to test his mental, his physical, and that’s why he’s one of the GOATs.” LeBron dropped 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists to force a Game 7 — one of the greatest elimination-game performances in NBA history. Even Pierce admits that night was a defining moment that elevated LeBron into the GOAT conversation. #LeBronJames #PaulPierce #NBAPlayoffs #NBAHistory #GOATDebate #BasketballDebate #Sports
