The annual NBA GM survey is full of interesting polls coming from the people that shape the rosters across the NBA from discussing the best players and coaches in the league to the best leader in the NBA and many more topics.

Paul Pierce was pleasantly surprised by the player who was voted as the league’s best leader, Damian Lillard. Paul has thought highly of Lillard for some time now, and the Truth is happy to see such a great player like Lillard finally get recognized among his elite peers.

“It surprises me that Damian Lillard is getting props as the best leader because in my eyes, he has been underrated over the last five years, and it’s good to see GMs really recognize this about him, especially with guys like LeBron and Chris Paul out there still,” Pierce said.
