Pierce: Kobe Bryant never became the face of the league

Recently, former NBA player Paul Pierce was a guest on the podcast "No Fouls Given".

When talking about the face of the league, Pierce said that Kobe has never been the face of the league. He said that after Jordan retired, Kobe was still very young. Therefore, after Jordan retired, the face of the league could be said to be O'Neal, and even Iverson served as the face for a year or two.
