The truth does not seem to hurt Paul Pierce.
The Celtics big man uses the same social media platforms that got him fired by ESPN to tell fans that he’s doing well after the network decided to let him go to a tumultuous Instagram post.
“Yo, just want to thank all my fans and thank my haters and everything,” Pierce posted in an Instagram video. “Look, bigger and better things are coming, honey. Do not worry about it. You fall twice, you rise three times. Just remember to smile, baby. ‘
Pierce posted a video Friday night of him being massaged by half-naked women at a poker table. According to Andrew Marchand of The Post, ESPN’s decision was largely based on Pierce choosing to post the videos himself.
The ten-time All-Star and soon-to-be Hall of Famer has been with ESPN since the start of the 2017-18 season and was one of the leading analysts on NBA Countdown and “The Jump” – two of ESPN’s premiere NBA shows.
Pierce has also assured fans that he is doing well on Twitter.
“I can not lose, not even if I lose,” Pierce wrote.
