When Bron was young (not even 25) - the Celtics took advantage of a deficient Cavs roster to best him as a pup -- but as soon as LeBron had a squad and came of age - it wasn't even close and Bron terrorized the Celtics for an entire decade (with or without Pierce).

There's this narrative that Pierce was somehow on par with Bron and gave it to him in head to head matchups - but that's a myth. In the 30 playoff games against Pierce, James averaged 29.1 points, 5.3 assists, and 8.4 rebounds, while Pierce averaged 17.0 points, 2.8 assist, and 4.8 rebounds.

Pierce fancied himself as the Bron killer in many respects - and still does to this day - and while he played the game of his life in a game 7 vs Bron (where Bron still got the better of him in that matchup) - it was really more about Bron v. PP/KG/Allen/Rondo and the Celtics than it was Bron v. PP.
