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 mak...

LeBron James breaks silence on wild Lakers-Warriors trade rumors

 

LeBron James breaks silence on wild Lakers-Warriors trade rumors



LeBron James addressed reports that the Golden State Warriors contacted the Los Angeles Lakers about trading for him before the NBA trade deadline. Speaking before he made his record 20th appearance in the NBA All-Star Game, LeBron downplayed the extent to which trade discussions progressed.

“I actually heard about it when everybody else heard about it,” James told the TNT crew. “Sometimes there's conversations that happen behind closed doors that you don't even know about it. And I guess until it's real or not, then they'll bring it to you. But it never even got to me.”

Earlier this month, Warriors owner Joe Lacob—with backing from Klutch client Draymond Green—reportedly reached out to Jeanie Buss to inquire about LeBron's availability. Buss, per ESPN, reaffirmed her preference to keep LeBron on the Lakers, but referred the inquiry to James' agent. Rich Paul relayed his client's disinterest in leaving Los Angeles, at the moment.

“I'm never surprised,” Stephen Curry said about the reports, per NBC Sports. “It's always a surprise when stuff like that gets out because I am assuming every team is making calls that if every fan or fan base or media group would know about it, it would maybe normalize the conversation that happens in the front office, especially around the trade deadline when you're exploring around the league who's available and who's not.”

“Obviously, a guy like Bron, you would probably call just to see. I don't know what the depths of those conversations were, but that was a nice little surprise this morning, for sure.”

Despite LeBron's overtures, the Lakers did nothing at the deadline. They currently lead the Warriors by 1.5 games for the ninth spot in the Western Conference.
