The Onion just can't get enough of Paul Pierce ...

First they accuse him of using a spitball during a game, now they're looking at both the strong side and the weak side to his game (theonion.com):
Is Pierce the most underrated or the least overrated shooting guard in the playoffs?

STRONG SIDE:
  • Special headband allows him to read opponent's minds
  • Although his shooting takes advantage of the characteristics of Newtonian space-time, Pierce accomplishes this without conscious thought
  • Good at giving convincing high-fives when teammates miss free throws
  • Kevin Garnett
  • Extremely large hands allow him to fake a pass with two fingers while shooting with the other three
  • Although he is at the exact same skill level as him, he is much nicer than Evil Paul Pierce
  • Huge toes allow for awesome pivots
WEAK SIDE:
  • Somehow wears headband at a jaunty angle
  • Laser vision is just the "pointer" kind, not the "death ray" kind
  • I-didn't-foul-that-guy face not incredulous enough
  • Terrified of little Celtic-guy drawing
  • When donating money, seems to favor children
  • Name more of a white-shoe lawyer name than a scrappy-point-guard name
  • Always hangs out in the seedy "Way Downtown" part of the key
