  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 drops Kobe Bryant reason for why 100 points is possible in modern NBA

LeBron James drops Kobe Bryant reason for why 100 points is possible in modern NBA


As the NBA experiences a scoring boom, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James — speaking before his 20th All-Star Game — says he wouldn't be surprised to see a player eclipse Kobe Bryant's 81-point mark and even approach Wilt Chamberlain's single-game scoring record of 100 points.

“We have some great scorers in this game,” LeBron said at his All-Star Weekend media availability in Indianapolis. “…You see guys putting up 50s, 60s, 70s … You've seen guys this year scoring 40 in the first half. I don't know. 

You've got so many great talents in this league and when I sit here and say I think guys can score 80 or 90? Yeah, why not? It's been done before and talent is talent, no matter what generation it is.”

LeBron noted the rise in 3-point shooting, the restrictions on defense, and the unstoppable power of gifted scorers being “in the zone”. LeBron specifically cited Caitlin Clark's record-breaking outburst and Kobe's unforgettable performance in 2006 (when the league was mired in an offensive slump).

“I think it's possible,” LeBron said about a player sniffing Wilt. “We've seen Kobe do it. Obviously, I'm not gonna put too many guys on Kobe's level, but when you have a hot streak, we've seen Kobe live put up 81. So, I think it can be done.”

Thanks to the elimination of hand-checking, the unprecedented skill and range of hoopers, and the uptick in pace — among other factors — NBA teams are averaging 115.5 points per game in 2023-24 — the highest non-1960s average in history, breaking last year's record average of 114.7 PPG.
