Pierce: Perkins dared to confront O Neal. If he hadn t been injured, we would have won two championships.

Recently, NBA legend Paul Pierce recalled the past on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast.

Talking about Perkins once confronting O'Neal head-on, Pierce said: "He stood in front of Shaq and was like, 'I'm going to knock you down.' I've never seen anyone dare to confront Shaq like this. It gave me a lot of confidence that we could beat them. If he hadn't been injured, we would have won two rings."
