Paul Pierce begins his long walk to the studio in his robe because of the Celtics loss. His latest update he said he was 4 miles in (1.5 hours of walking).
Lmao respect him for getting up early enough to do that walk
Paul Pierce seems like a guy who can take a joke and laugh at himself lol, I guess hanging out with KG for 15+ years would do that to anybody though
KG and Pierce have known each other since they were kids, they met in the AAU circuit one of them introduced the other to Cinnabon IIRC
Now that’s how you build a relationship.
Now there’s a guy who knows how to Cinnabon!
Can I meet him?! I need friends!
Ngl it had to be Pierce who introduced KG to Cinnabon, right? Not the other way around.
Good instinct
Damn I figured it was playing career + the time on the podcast
The fact that he admitted to shitting himself during the wheelchair fiasco made me realize he’s probably pretty cool irl lol
“Ayyy KG lemme show you this website where you can get girlfriends for the night….”
‘Yoo, Chill!!..’
“Come on man, let me get one Onion Ring.”
“naw watch out dog. WATCH OUT!”
KGs face during that whole thing was hilarious.
KG was STRESSING
Wait this was a real exchange? Lmao I thought yall were parodying Pierce and KG
PP brought a hooker to KG’s podcast at one point
It’s been a while but I thought the person I was replying to was referencing when PP crashed a KG live podcast (or something) drunk and was acting up. KG had that fake smile on his face whenever PP was talking like ‘please don’t say some dumb shit’ 😂🤣
Yea, Paul Pierce also brought his gf for the night 😂
“Monica stop playing and come get this money”
If Pierce isn’t in your dream nba blunt rotation you don’t know ball.
EXACTLY. People on here clown on Pierce for being so goofy and unserious not realizing how fun that type of person is
EDIT: and self-aware. Pierce has some bad takes just like any other media figure but he ain’t no Kendrick Perkins or Skip Bayless-type
He can be a little much talking about how good he was, but he was an elite player, he has the same confidence talking that he had with the ball in his hands.
It’s different than Perkins getting into it with KD.
He got the strippers on deck too
I mean he did admit it but he was joking
It’s not worth explaining anything to people who don’t understand sarcasm. Purposefully obtuse people won’t understand that water is wet
He did not. It was sarcasm. He had a sprained MCL. https://www.celticshub.com/2010/06/06/sunday-notebook-people-who-think-paul-pierce-faked-his-injury-might-want-to-read-this/
He said right after that moment on TV that it was clearly sarcasm and that he can’t believe so many people are too dumb to understand sarcasm
I will NEVER get over the fact people didn’t realize he was being sarcastic and now it’s a permanent admission despite the fact he was clearly joking
He knows if he doesn’t do it KG is never going to let it go. And not it in the way some people won’t let it go. This is KG. Pierce knows the rest of his life he will hear about it from KG.
Yep, best to rip the band-aid off lol
props to him for not backing out on his promise. I’m surprised he didn’t bring any headphones for this walk. lol
Mad respect for real🫡
Yes and for following thru he’d be the talk of the day and gains the respect of many.
Imagine being out of the loop about this and just seeing Paul Pierce in a bathrobe walking down the street
The videos of Pierce partying tell me that he’s had more than a few early morning walks.
I ran into him in Vegas once, this girl I knew from class was part of his entourage. She had no idea who he was just that he was buying bottles for her whole group. His security kindly pushed me away from the group as I was talking to her.
Hahaha tried to side step into a party and got sent away. Respect the hustle though.
I was on my way into a club and they were on the way out, I wasn’t tryna side step, I just saw her and was like “Wtf are you doing with Paul Pierce??”
Some middle aged woman tried to dance with me in the club after and then proceeded to drop into splits. I had to help her up.
Oh I gotcha, damn man that sounds fun. Me going clubbing is usually drinking on the side lines and getting fat girls numbers.
“drinking on the side lines and getting fat girls numbers” is definitely going to be the name of my next album.
That’s its own kinda fun. OKC fat chicks where you at?? JK don’t respond.
San Antonio women is what you want
They big from eating all them churros
We have a ton more Latin chicks than people would think so. It’s like a bunch of thick Selena Gomezs around but that’s just OKC. The rest of Oklahoma look like ugly version of Alexis Texas.
Been clubbing in LA, Vegas, Florida, and New Orleans. The girls are so much hotter it’s ridiculous.
It’s the Fitness Tax™. A lot of girls in middle America would be fine af if their BMI was lower than their IQ.
Thicc Selena’s huh…guess I gotta book a trip for the uhhhh playoffs.
I don’t know how old you are but that’s great unc storytelling
Probably old enough to be your unc. I still get out to the clubs every now and then though, mostly in VIP if I do. The dance floor is a young man’s game.
Some middle aged woman tried to dance with me in the club after and then proceeded to drop into splits.
Lmao reminds me of the type of shit that used to happen to me in the club. I once met a girl at the end of the night when the club was closing. She tripped and I sort of braced her to she didn’t fall. She thanked me and introduced her self as B-Star then showed me a tattoo on her cheek that had a B with a star on the back of it. I busted up laughing and just had to walk away.
People in bathrobes talking to themselves make up a decent portion of LA walkers.
Exactly, he’ll just blend in
My mind would go right to… long night or lost bet
“Breaking news: Paul Pierce seen walking the streets. He appears to be homeless. Panhandling for money in the side of the road. All he has left is his robe, slippers, and the sunglasses on his face. Cannot believe the downfall of such an iconic figure.” -some terrible news source probably
“Aw man, there goes Paul Pierce… looking like Delonte West out here.”
It’s alright, he got the shades on, nobody recognizing him /s
Wait, he’s actually going through with it?
They don’t call him the TRUTH for nothing
Where Monica at tho
Noooo, Monica
Words that I can clearly hear.
Ja Rule’s voice is so sorely needed rn
WHERE IS JA!?
what’s yo problem - you didn’t win!
It’s not how you stand by your car, it’s how you race your car. You better learn that
In his bathrobe as well, cold blooded
What’s cold blooded is the Celtics making an old man do this
Walking more miles than made threes
He also admitted to the wheelchair shitting. Dude really is the truth
Standing on business respectable
Definitely respect for standing on it, swear there were other things he said too that he would do but even doing this one is respectable lol
Said barefoot but he’s definitely got shoes on
I think I wouldn’t hold the barefoot against him, foot blisters suck and I probably wouldn’t even let him into the studio if he did it barefoot
addendum: Also yes the copious amounts of infections, diseases, and whatever shit could be picked up by walking that could possibly kill him. I feel like we can totally forgive the barefoot part if the alternative is him having an exponentially increased chance of a medical scare lol
He also promised dinosaurs but I think they’ll start showing up soon
yeah I wouldn’t make a dude walk for 8 hours on concrete with no shoes on. That’s just cruel.
Have you seen NBA players feet. He’s doing us all a service covering up the dogs bro
last yr he wore a Brunson jersey after the Knicks beat the 76ers last season, he does stick by his word tbf
If he wasn’t so hated people would realize Paul is second to Chuck in terms of the humor he produces and he’s completely self aware.
To be fair, he’s the reason he’s hated.
He’s too hilarious to be truly hated
He is hated for nonsensical reasons.
He is direspected for how good he was, how tough he was, & how much adversity he overcame.
You cannot possibly make a proclamation like that on national TV and not follow through.
You haven’t been in America long.
Send da video of Sean Hannity getting waterboarded
When a fucking Celtics (ex) player has more morals than the president…
Paul Pierce shit himself on national TV.
Paul Pierce partially tore his MCL and nobody knew why the doctor put him in a wheelchair. There was a suspicious looking poop stain seen on his shorts in Game 2 before going to commercial break. The memory of the poop stain from Game 2 and the wheelchair in Game 1 became overlapped and instead of being “Paul Pierce is dramatic for needing a wheelchair”, it became “Pierce pooped himself and needed a wheelchair to cover it up.” I stand by this because I vividly remember the slow motion poop stain before commercial in Game 2.
The fact that he had to get his knee surgically repaired after that finals has just been retconned out of history so people can laugh about the wheelchair.
Even the Celtics City doc didn’t mention it.
I’m going to stop the wars on DAY 1!
I think he said he would walk barefoot, which I don’t think he is doing, nor should he, because he would fuck up his feet badly for a dumb bet. But at least he kept his word and is doing the walk.
damn you really gotta respect that shit
agreed, I did not expect him to go through with it. props where props are due
It’s hard to back out of when he has a whole show and reputation. If he had said something that was impossible to do or harmful for him to do, sure he could conceivably back out. But this is like right there in the part of the curve where it’s something really annoying to have to do but there’s no reason he can’t. So he’d just look lame if he didn’t do it.
Lmao he could have backed out and nobody would care by this time next week. These dramatic playoffs would make people forget quick
KG would remember and likely wouldn’t let him off the hook lol
THAT is the real reason lmao
Some of y’all are online too much
Walk of shame fame
Man of his word, gotta respect it.
Yeah this is pretty baller
“Is that Paul Pierce on the side of the fucking road? Nah it can’t be”
I fucking hate this man
But dammit if I don’t respect him 🫡
Funnily enough this is the EXACT mentality Jayson Tatum doesn’t have
He has it.. only up to the 14 mile
Tatum will see this and try to copy it himself after their next loss.
Paul Pierce looks down at his phone
< New Message! >
I got you 🙏
“Lose my number”
Pierce is my favorite player of all time.
Why are you taking shots at Tatum? Tatum is only 27 and has already led us to 5 ECF, 2 Finals & a championship.
I don’t care if we get swept by the Knicks, Tatum is awesome and we are so lucky to have him & JB.
Everyone, get in here! This guy likes Tatum!!
Nah you dont get it, this 2 game sample size obliterates every accomplishment he ever has. He will be INCAPABLE of recovering from this.
For real. Losing two at home isn’t great, but any Celtics fan clowning on Taytum is brain dead
Sorry didn’t hear over all those 3s he was chucking. Pierce used to drive to the rim with aggression. Tatum is simply not that dude.
Paul had way too many lost games where he tried to many step backs. I was there. When he was younger he went to the basket, then he just copied Chauncey Billups and was living at the free throw line. Until Doc got there, he didn’t really pull it all together.
So you’re saying Tatum just needs Doc, right?
Too late for Doc, they can’t go up 3-1.
He might say if they repeat he’s doing the parade in his robe. He likes to take inspiration.
Him filming himself in LA walking the streets in real time, hopefully no one looking for clout takes advantage. Respect for keeping his promise though that’s a long ass walk lol
Pretty sure Paul Pierce is not an easy target
ppl forget the biggest dude you know would be like amongst the smallest in the league lol
Don’t forget a gun doesn’t care how big someone is lol
are we gonna pretend he doesnt have a crew in a suburban tailing him the whole way
You think a guy once stabbed a dozen times isn’t also more inclined to pack heat? Or his security isn’t anyway
who tf going up to a 6’7 dude walking around in a bathrobe and robbing him at gunpoint lol
Who would rob a man in a bathrobe? WTF do they expect to get from him? I guess his phone?
Yah it’s crazy, I’ve been around Luguentz a bit we from the same neighborhood and in person amongst normal people he’s this towering super imposing looking guy but you see him on tv in games and he damn near looks short
Yep. Even Steve Nash, that tiny child dribbling through everyone’s legs, is bigger than almost everyone you know. If he showed up to a random house party, statistically he’d be like the second biggest person there. 6’3, 200lbs in the NBA: tiny baby man. 6’3, 200lbs in real life: huge.
I got knocked over by a drunk ex-NFL player. He stuck out his hand to help my up and it was the equivalent of my and my 2.5 kids hand in size difference. Pros are built different.
I met “The Fridge” William Perry in 1992 in Memphis, Tennessee. I walking down the street mindin my own business, just walking along, feeling good.
I walk around the corner, a man walks up, hits my in my chest, right? I fall on the ground, right? And I look up, and it’s The Fridge William Perry! I said “The Fridge!” and he says “Oops, I thought you was somebody else.”
I’m always amazed when I think about the size of these guys. I’m not small (6’3”) and my dad is bigger (6’5”) and neither of us would be remotely close to being the biggest guys on the court. Playing pickup games, I’m always the big man on the court.
Dude got stabbed 11 times in September 2000 and started all 82 games that season. Pierce is tough as nails.
Paul been stabbed 10 times and stil made it to a game.
These kids are nothing
This made me look up his wiki and I found out that his son’s name is Prince. Prince Pierce is one cool name
He’s about to find out how hard it is to walk in LA
he’s from inglewood lol
People need to join him on this walk, Forrest Gump style. By the end he should have thousands of fans walking with him, all wearing their robes. It would be a historical viral moment
15miles is A LOT if he’s not a regular walker / jogger. 8miles is pushing it if your feet aren’t conditioned
He’s always posting videos of early morning hikes in the mountains with his dogs so I think he’s in good shape.
But 15 miles in a robe and slipper is still a lot
The slippers is honestly more diabolical than it seems. If I don’t wear the right shoes on a hike I could be out for days after. Makes a huge difference.
I didn’t catch the slippers. That’s good. Barefoot is already much tougher than wearing shoes. Actually barefoot is also dangerous in the city.
Unless you’re barefoot all the time so you have good callouses, walking 15 miles on pavement would leave the bottoms of your feet a bleeding mess even if you didn’t step on broken glass. Slippers will probably wear some holes in your feet too.
I’m just glad he’s in slippers and literally not barefoot. That just seems cruel.
Yeah it’s 4-5 hours of just walking which is a lot but also he used to be a world class athlete so he’ll probably be fine
He also has the stride of NBA player. He can cover some ground.
Doesn’t have to stop for bathroom breaks.
Imodium merchant
Counter point, being 6’7” at 47 years old might not be the most enjoyable walk. Those injuries after you retire don’t just go away lol
Yeah I don’t know if any of these dudes have great knees at that point.
Plus their feet take so much punishment, and he put some slippers on them shits.
But hes also out of shape, bad knees and ligaments, and 90% chance has fucked up feet so thats just something to consider. Hell prob be fine tho just sore.
8 miles is 18k steps lol you’re just fat as fuck if you can’t do that once
Comments here talking about ‘foot conditioning’ lmao
I’m a former runner and now I walk/ hike long distances to save my knees. It does take some conditioning when you get to the 15k-30k step range.
That’s Disneyland day it ain’t that bad really, actually I hit 25k on Disneyland but that’s a whole day thingy lol
Tbf Id rather be walking straight than be stuck standing in lines, thats what really kills my feet.
They not #RealSteppers
He was a pro athlete he’ll survive
He probably has bad knees like all former nba players
If his knees can handle all those strippers for an entire night, I’m sure he can manage to walk just fine.
No way he does it. Not only is it 20 miles of actual walking, it’s through the Sepulveda Pass (which is essentially a whole mountain). My man’s gotta walk through the Getty…
If he hikes regularly it’s not totally insane. That’s a good Saturday day hike for some people.
My respect for him has increased 47% based upon him following through.
But he said he’d do it in bare feet. He’s got shoes on!
Look, If he walks it, I’m willing to waive the barefoot part. The streets are nasty
Agreed. His feet from playing basketball all those years are forsure already messed up pretty bad. Regardless of hygiene I’d bet he’d be in some legit pain.
I’ll let it slide
Yeah happy he’s not doing it barefoot. He shouldn’t have said he would do it barefoot tho lmao.
I actually can’t blame him for this one. I’m glad he has slippers on. You can pick up some nasty shit from the soles of your feet.

Used needle requests to join
Tetanus shot requests to join
I just fucking walked outside barefoot to speak to somebody real quick. Last step before i got back inside I stepped on a vicious jagged pebble.
Tetanus the silent killer lmao
Be thankful he’s doing it. Barefoot on these streets? What if he steps on a needle from some dirty crackhead?
Im so thankful that Paul Pierce is walking the streets in his robe, thank God this is happening
Barefoot walking in the streets of LA?
shudders
Bro got stabbed. Needles mean nothing to him
He is now immune to all sharp things. None of them can kill him
Paul No-Pierce
Y’all nuts lol. This is fine, I don’t need him to lose a foot to tetanus or something just to satisfy a bet.
Damn you want him on some Cersei shame walk. Showing up to the studio feet bleeding everywhere
This is the beginning of his redemption in the eyes of social media fans.
he doesnt have to redeem himself for anything
damn I respect this dude more than ever before
Honestly a great way to get engagement for his show
His career accomplishments dont garner respect from r/nba, but the day he takes a long walk, he is suddenly legit. lol
It might’ve been a faster trip if he took his wheelchair
With drugs, anything can be possible lol
Including making this bet. Pierce looked lit on set when he was saying that wild shit lol and he is probably working through some edibles here too
Bro this guy always lit. Not even sure if it’s only weed half the time haha. He’s often way too slumped.
I wonder if he’s going to finish this spiritual journey he’s on lmao
honestly? big props to him. reminder that he survived being stabbed 11 times in public that one time.
if that happened to me you will never see me walking in public again
That’s my goat
lmaoo
Respect. Also, build more walkable cities. Thanks
Celtics gonna make him walk to MSG if they lose the next one 😂
He better not be barefoot. Finna get ticks and Lyme Disease
He’s not gonna get ticks walking on pavement
Los Angeles doesn’t have lyme disease (at least its not a prevalent thing out here compared to the NE).
Wow! In the video right where you see the Ralph’s/Chase sign is in Woodland Hills.
Corner of Winnetka and Ventura.
Taft High School is right there where I went .
This is something your buddies make you do when you finish last in Fantasy Football lmao
Dudes for sure got a car parked a street down 😂
His most recent story is from 31 minutes ago, he’s still postin’, love this lmao
Well respect for actually doing it, not barefooted but still doing the walk
Respect the truth !
