Image
  Celtics: Paul Pierce drops truth bomb on controversial video that led to ESPN firing ESPN  fired  Paul Pierce  from the network back in 2021 after he posted a controversial video on social media. Since then, it's been a heavily talked about topic whenever the former  Boston Celtics star ‘s name is brought up in conversation. Now, Pierce drops a truth bomb on what led him to share that video. Pierce dropped a tell-all video on the  All the Smoke Podcast   and the first topic  of discussion was the video that led to his firing from ESPN. The former Celtics star claims he didn't know that people can record an Instagram Live video . “I'm enjoying retirement. It's poker night… And I decided to pull my phone out… I was caught in the moment… I didn't post it… [I didn't know] that you can record it.” It was just a total blunder from Paul Pierce. Not everyone is tech savvy. To be fair, sometimes when people have a fun evening like that, they tend to make bad decisions

Lakers: Metta World Peace drops shocking Kobe Bryant reason for not winning title no. 6

Image
  Lakers: Metta World Peace drops shocking Kobe Bryant reason for not winning title no. 6 Perhaps no player is more synonymous with an NBA franchise than the late  Kobe Bryant  is with the  Los Angeles Lakers .  Bryant won five  championships with the organization throughout his career, the first three of which were when he was a sidekick to MVP candidate Shaquille O'Neal, and then later as  “the guy” for the Lakers  in the late 2000's. After he won his fifth championship, the goal, of course, was for Bryant to win number six, which would have tied him with his idol Michael Jordan for fifth most in NBA history. Unfortunately for Lakers fans, Los Angeles never really came close again to championship glory with Bryant, and his former teammate  Metta World Peace  (formerly known as Ron Artest) thinks he knows  the reason why . “He wanted number six. You saw it in his eyes,” said World Peace, per The OG's on YouTube (presented by Playmaker HQ). “He wanted number six, so there

In a now deleted tweet,  LeBron James   reacted to the news  with a rant on X (formerly Twitter). “Can yall please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball,” James wrote. “The work and results will ultimately do the talking no matter what he decides to do.

Paul Pierce doubles down on 2008 'best player' declaration over Kobe Bryant

Image
  Paul Pierce doubles down on 2008 'best player' declaration over Kobe Bryant Paul Pierce is not backing down on his take that his 2008 NBA Finals win over Kobe and him being named Finals MVP made him the best player in the world.  Following the 2008 NBA Finals, he was asked by a Spanish publication if Kobe was the best player in the world, he confidently claimed the title of the world's best player and then stated, “There’s a line that separates having confidence and being conceited.  I don’t cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.” He then was asked to clarify his comments by media at his youth basketball camp at the time and doubled down, saying, “That’s what I said. I am a confident player and a lot of people might look at it like ‘Oh, another cocky attitude,’ but I don’t look at it that way. I have an opinion, I have a right to have one and that’s the way I feel. I felt I’ve played against the best over the years and felt right now tha

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama shoots down Michael Jordan statistical comparisons

Image
  Spurs' Victor Wembanyama shoots down Michael Jordan statistical comparisons Victor Wembanyama  and the  San Antonio Spurs   faced off  against LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Afterward, it was the legend with whom many often compare to James who took center stage in one of the Spurs superstar's answers. With  five steals and five blocks  in the  123-118 loss  to the Lakers, Wembanyamana became the first player since  Michael Jordan  to reach those numbers in back to back games after he reached both of those totals in their previous game against the Sacramento Kings. Asked about matching arguably the greatest basketball to ever live, the generational prospect dismissed such comparisons. “I wonder if he did it in wins, not losses,” Wembanyama said. “To me, it's secondary. Hopefully in the future we can look back and think this is a good performance. As of today, I can't be satisfied with a loss.” The five blocks and five steals on Friday were only t

  Lakers: Vanessa Bryant's viral Kobe Bryant speech gets Nike custom merch treatment  On Thursday evening, the  Los Angeles Lakers  unveiled a statue of their late franchise icon,  Kobe Bryant , who won five championships with the team during his legendary career.  Bryant tragically passed away  along with his daughter Gianna in a 2020 helicopter accident, but the statue on Thursday ensured that  his Lakers legacy  will remain immortalized. Prior to the unveiling of the statue, which depicted Bryant in his number eight jersey, with one finger pointed to the sky (perhaps also commemorating his legendary 81 point game against the Toronto Raptors in 2006), his widow Vanessa Bryant spoke to the fans in front of Crypto.com arena and took the time to  address potential critics  of the statue, noting that Bryant had picked the pose himself, and saying “tough s***” to those who have an issue with it.
