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

Nike SB Dunk Low 'Chicago' restocking Spring 2024

 

Nike SB Dunk Low 'Chicago' restocking Spring 2024


The marriage between Jordan Brand and Nike Skateboarding (SB) has been strong over the years and we've seen a number of collaborations between the two worlds that have hit it off with sneakerheads. 

This upcoming Spring, we'll see another classic Air Jordan colorway on a Nike SB Dunk return for a restock. Follow our Sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content!

Most recently, we saw the Air Jordan 4 get a collaboration with Nike SB and saw massive success with the shoe, often being heralded as the best release of 2023. Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts even wore a cleated version of the sneaker during a playoff game.

You'd have to travel back to 2005 for the first Nike SB Dunk inspired by Jordan sneakers when the Dunk Low Black/Royal Blue released. 

While it wasn't an official collaboration, the shoes were quickly dubbed the ‘J-Pack' considering their almost-exact color scheme to the Air Jordan 1 ‘Royal' colorway.

Undoubtedly, there's tons of similarities between the two silhouettes, but skaters favored Nike SB's additional padding through the tongue and heel. 

So, Nike SB went on to release subsequent pairs like the ‘Bred', ‘Shadow', ‘Pine Green', and ‘Court Purple/Green' colorways, all inspired by former Air Jordan 1 colorways.

In 2020, Nike SB added another edition to the ‘J-Pack' line modeled after the most recognizable Jordan of all time, the Air Jordan 1 ‘Chicago.'

The shoes were an instant hit and sold out immediately as both skaters and basketball fans had to have their hands on them. 

As typical with recent Nike SB releases, they'll be restocking the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Chicago' in the coming months.

  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

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