Paul Pierce, one of LeBron James’ harshest critics and biggest rivals, has softened his stance on the four-time NBA MVP over the past few years. Pierce called James “the greatest athlete ever” after the former Cleveland Cavaliers superstar breached 50,000 points (regular season and playoffs combined) in March. The Boston Celtics great continued his praise of his former rival on Tuesday.

While attending the Celebrity Poker Tour, Pierce said this when asked if next season would be James’ last in the NBA:
“I think this will be his last season. … He’s been the GOAT for so long, he’s maintained the stats. We appreciate what he brought to the game & held the mantle since Jordan left. Bron [James] is one of them ones.”
