Brooklyn Nets zapping guard, Deron Wiliams finally responds to the poignant comments made about him by his former teammate Paul Pierce. Pierce in an ESPN feature story, beautifully penned by Jackie MacMullan commented that before he got to Brooklyn, he believed that Williams was an MVP candidate, but after playing with him he realized that Williams did not have the fire to be great. Williams’ response is: “it’s what it is.”
Responding to Pierce’s comments to ESPN.com’s Jackie MacMullan about how pressure got to Williams and “really affected” the point guard, Williams said he’s “not bothered at all” by the assessment from his former teammate.
