  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 mak...

Bucks: Damian Lillard's instant reaction to winning All-Star Game MVP

 

 Bucks: Damian Lillard's instant   reaction to winning All-Star Game   MVP


Damian Lillard's aggressive mentality in the NBA All-Star Game paid off as the Milwaukee Bucks guard bagged the MVP honors after leading the East to a dominant victory against the West squad.

Lillard finished the contest with a team-high 39 points, although Karl-Anthony Towns was the top-scorer with 50. The Bucks superstar made 11 triples in the game on top of three rebounds, six assists and a steal in order to lead the East All-Star squad to a record-breaking 211-186 victory.

Dame Time also made some history in the process, replicating Michael Jordan's feat of earning two titles on back-to-back nights. Jordan won the NBA Dunk Contest and All-Star MVP Honors in 1988. Lillard, for his part, defended his 3-Point Contest title on Saturday night before securing the ASG MVP award.

After the game, Lillard talked about his mentality entering the contest and how he was able to explode offensively. According to Lillard, a huge part of it was his aggressiveness from start to finish.

“I just know you’ve got to keep shooting the ball and I think in a game like this, it's going to be pretty loose and you're going to get your opportunities. I just told myself I’m going to be aggressive and I'm going to keep firing. I saw a couple go in and after that it was just like I'm going after it,” Lillard said of his accolade.
