Celtics: Paul Pierce drops truth bomb on controversial video that led to ESPN firing

  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 star LeBron James' Bronny rant sparks blame game

 

Lakers star LeBron James' Bronny rant sparks blame game



On Monday, it was revealed that Bronny James was removed from ESPN's 2024 NBA Mock Draft. 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. If y’all don’t know he doesn’t care what a mock draft says, he just WORKS! Earned Not Given!”

It didn't take long for the NBA world to respond to LeBron's tweet, despite it getting deleted not long after it was posted. And many of the fans blamed LeBron James.

“MAYBE DONT SAY HE IS BETTER THAN NBA PLAYERS,” BarnesMuse wrote before sending another tweet. “YOU SAY HE IS BETTER THAN PEOPLE IN THE NBA BUT YOU DONT WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE HIGH expectations.”

“Didn’t you recently claim he could play for the Lakers right now lol,” a critic added.

“You quite literally tweeted that he could get minutes and help the Lakers win RIGHT NOW… you are the one putting unrealistic expectations on em,” another detractor added.

“I love Lebron, but I feel like he wouldn’t have this energy if Bronny was being mocked top 10,” stated another fan.

“Y’all talking about what lebron said about how he’s better than some nba players… you believed him wholeheartedly over forming your own opinion and now you’re using it against him??? Weird.”

It's an interesting situation all around. Bronny James has potential and it wouldn't be the end of the world if he stays two or three years in college. There's still a chance that he will declare for the draft, though.

  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

It took less than 24 hours for Nike, the sports clothing corporation with which Bryant did
