The NBA Finals is a rematch of last year with one big difference.
Kevin Durant has joined the Golden State Warriors.
Paul Pierce, for one, is not down with KD's decision to jump ship to a better team.
He made the clear in an interview with ESPN's The Jump by using a schoolyard bully analogy.

“I’m just not built like that,” Pierce said. “I’m not a guy who goes into the neighborhood, gets beat up the bully’s gang, and then now I want to join your gang. That’s just not me. I wanna fight, let’s go. I mean I’m gonna stand up for myself, that’s just the competitive nature of where I come from, the era I grew up in.”Of course, Pierce was also a part of a Boston Celtics "super team." Although one could argue it's different because Pierce was there first and his All-Star teammates were added through trades.
What do you think about Pierce's words on Durant?
