For many haters eagerly waiting for new developments with Roger, the outcome of the Pierce incident was disappointing.
They had thought it would be another live death broadcast tearing the team apart.
But instead, Pierce told them he did not think he was in a worse position with the Hawks than anywhere else, he did not care who was Atlanta's number one star, and he was willing to be Paul, the Angel Envoy, alongside Roger rather than being the master Paul.
Sprewell was one of those disappointed.
It wasn't just disappointment; it was also anger.
Because Pierce blatantly criticized Shaq and Spree during a nationwide live broadcast.
The insult to Spree was even more direct by naming names.
When ridiculing Shaq, Pierce's words were "I'm not like some people."
But when it came to Spree, Pierce directly said, "Latrell, sorting out trash players like you doesn't even require Roger to get his hands dirty."
The name Latrell Sprewell was insulted mercilessly by Paul Pierce.
