Pierce said Wembanyama is the best player he has ever seen play, ranking him above the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Nikola Jokic.
"I'm watching him and I'm like, this is the best basketball player I've ever seen play," Pierce stated.
"He is the most complete player we've ever seen play the game. Like, we can talk about Bron, Jordan, Joker - he is the most complete player in the history of the game. The way he influences the defense, then when he turns it offensive, he's making all kinds of shots," he added.
Wembanyama has been dominant this season, taking home his first Defensive Player of the Year award while averaging 24.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 3.2 blocks per game.
He is currently leading the Spurs to a 3-2 series lead in the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves in his first-ever playoff appearance.
