Paul Pierce has completed his promised walk to the studio after the Celtics’ loss last night
“we have a wheelchair dawg” šššššš
just missing the stains
Bruh
Pierce brings his own stains
Would be cool’s if they remake that scene of he being carried and then wheel chair
I want the start of the pregame to have him being wheelchaired to the set.
This better happen
I know yall producers scan Reddit too
They did it!
Gold. I donāt normally like the show but they get a pass today lol
Yup same here.
Yoooo, we manifested it
IT HAPPENED
Setup was way too perfect for them to pass that one up.
lol
sounds pretty shitty
If they lose the next game he gotta walk all the way to New YorkĀ
Iām sure Paul pierce would get a ton of hitch offers lol heās an easy guy to notice
I can safely assume Paul Pierce is the only person that looks like Paul Pierce
He definitely has that unique look. Add being 6ā7 and itās guaranteed you wont mistake him for someone else
Thats always the kicker regardless hes freaking 6 ft 7 and any normal person is going to stare for a second and the 100% realize its him.
I did the same when i saw an AAU team that was like 15 i just looked over and said GOOD LORD those kids as huge then realized the gear and bags lol
I was at Disneyland a few years ago and walking to meet my family. I walked by a black dude who was probably 6’5. As I’m walking away, I started wondering if he was a pro athlete. Then my internal monologue was like, “Come on, man. That’s racist. Not every tall black guy is a pro ball player.”. Less than 10 seconds later, I bumped into Baron Davis.
I’m a white guy and I get asked all the time if I’m in the NBA or NFL as a fit 6’7” person.
Pick up hoops must be a blast for you
Had a layover in Vegas like 3 summers ago and recognized JJ Redick at baggage claim because I thought ādamn this white guy is tall as shitā then thinking he looked familiar lmao
Yup, it’s funny to realize how big those top-level athletes really are. I once got on an elevator at the high-rise where I worked and suddenly felt like a small child (I’m 6’ tall). Because the Denver Broncos’ starting QB and all five starting offensive linemen were already in there. Even the QB looked a little small at 6’3” compared to his teammates (one of whom was 6’7” and around 320 pounds). It didn’t help to know that every single one of them could outrun me at any distanceā¦
i personally don’t think i’d get in an elevator with like, at minimum, 1750lbs already in it, but hey, you lived
Terrance Howard kinda looks like him
They better give him his wheelchair and poker nights back for this.Ā
Honestly a road trip Paul pierce with kg to NY isnāt so bad. Hella fun stories along the way
it’s going to be like that scene in Forest Gump.
WE DID ITTTTTT
We maaaaaaaaade itttttttt
Anything is possibleEeeeeeeeee
What they gonna say nowwwww
So funny. Earlier in the stream he said this and they also asked if he had any words for Jayson Tatum
Iām weak šš
He did promise to do it barefoot. So a man of half his word
To be fair walk that long on concrete bare foot might not be the best idea
yea, we’ll cut him some slack on that. Walking 15 miles is still dope lol
His soft ass feet would legit be bleeding after all that concrete walking. Plus imagine stepping on some crack pipe or some shit, no ty
I think anyone’s feet would be bleeding after 15 miles on concrete.
Also walking barefoot on concrete in hot weather is at best mildly unpleasant
I’m ok with this. The 15 mile walk of shame is the most important part. The barefoot is legit dangerous and could potentially fuck up an otherwise fun story.
He was in his robe as well. Just a good-natured bit of fun.
Damn that was like 5 hours of walking lol
He said 6! Canāt wait to see the step count. Thatās gotta be easily 25,000+ or something.
I think it was 15-16 miles so easily 30k+ or one long ass day at Disneyland.
Heās also taller/longer strides but youāre right! Thatās insane!
Yeah but heās probably high as fuck and got lost a couple times, so needed more steps.
Definitely had a few rolled up in his robe pockets lol
Anyone walking down the streets of LA dressed like the dude is carrying a couple of pre-rolls
Of course I know him. Heās me.
“Fuck it Pierce, let’s go bowling”
The Truth abides.
Yeah the number of times he said “I made it” had me thinking he might have had a little pit stop on the way
I’m 6’9” and while crop scouting I’d often walk about 20 miles in a day. My tracker usually said it was like 35k steps but it definitely wasn’t exact
Try to walk a mile in 15 minutes, it’s difficult. But he’s a former pro athlete with long legs, so it probably took him about 4 hours.
What happens if you add Samoa Joe into the mix?
Obviously, one’s chances would drastic go down in such a hypothetical scenario.
The numbers donāt lie and they spell disaster for you Paul Pierce
was the fittest player in the league most of his career, with the accent on stamina and endurance, and he didn’t really seem to have put on much weight since he retired
I have no memory of Pierce being thought of like that definitely more attributed to Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton etc especially during that era
Ok so im not the only person who uses Disneyland/world as their standard for step counting š
Had to go back on the health app to check, but two days at Disneyland, 22k steps each.
I average about 23k steps on a 15 mile run. Given that he was walking so 30k+ steps sounds about right. But his legs are way longer than mine too so there’s that.
Someone this morning said that was about 6 hours and there was no way he was in shape enough to walk that. I was typing out a reply (then got distracted) saying he isn’t obese and it’s just walking lol…
That’s kind of absurd to me given the man is a former professional athlete. Even if he were a little more out of shape, I’d expect him at the least being able to gut it out.
I sit at a desk all day. I promise you I can walk for six hours. My feet will probably hurt like fuck at the end of it and my legs will be sore for three days but God damn people, it’s walking. Examine your life if you can’t walk a few hours.
Right? I’m in my forties and not at all athletic anymore but have people never been a tourist somewhere or gone to Disney or something similar? You’re walking for hours and hours doing those things and often doing it for multiple days.
This is commentary on what kind of society we’ve created where the only reason people spend any significant time using their legs is that they are A. in a foreign county, or B. At Disneyworld. LMAO.
The relationship people have with walking (particularly in places like the USA) is insane.
We’re bipedal apes. We quite literally evolved to walk long distances on a daily basis. It’s one of the best things you can do for your health/body.
Up until ~70 years ago, folks walked a ton just for daily life/errands.
Our ancestors would walk/run for hours to exhaust faster animals, and then would slaughter them for dinner.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting
I’m out of shape as fuck but I could walk from sun up to sun down. He’s fine.
16 miles with moderate elevation gain is really not that bad if you’re walking slowly over a long period, taking rests, and staying hydrated. I’m in no kind of shape whatsoever and I did a hike that long with more elevation gain the last time I went to a national park - it wasn’t fun, but it’s doable. Pierce is a former pro athlete - it’s probably not that hard for him at all.
That’s ridiculous that anyone would say that. Get me some comfy ass shoes and plenty of water and we’re good. I’ll be sore as shit the next day but I think most people who aren’t insanely obese/have injuries wouldn’t have much of an issue doing this.
I think the vast majority of the population could do this, but I also bet a pretty large chunk of people would fuck up and wear bad shoes, bad socks, or bad underwear, and tap out pretty quick.
I did a 20 mile walk for fun a couple years ago.
It took me 7 hoursā¦6 hours of moving time.
Total steps was 39,172.
whered you go?
6? How’s this going to affect lebrons legacy?
My guy started before dawn! Lol
Bro never went to sleep after the strippers and cigars
Americans: he walked 5 hours?! In one day?!?!?
Surely that’s a lot for anyone anywhere? Like who’s taking 5hr hikes daily?
Germans, according to a lot of recent internet jokes anyway.
Legit me and Iām ashamed of myselfā¦
Itās not our faults our nations forebears created a reliance on cars and highways.
I mean thereās a reason we made cars bro, this drive woulda taken him like 30 minutes max lol
The average American walks about 5000 steps a day, which isnāt even 1 hour of walking a day lmao
God damn I just checked and I average about 6,000 a dayā¦ living in Boston tooš fucking office job man
It’s the inbetween steps that really help out. I walked to the grocery store today (in Chicago, it’s maybe 4 blocks). I went to work (via train) so had to walk there too. And all those trips are really 2x the steps since you have to get back.
At 9k steps and it’s about 5pm. Still will run around with my kid a bit, cook dinner and then just walking around the house doing stuff will easily get me to 11-13k.
Going from suburbia to the city pushed me from like 5-6k steps a day to 10-14k steps a day on average. And it’s not like a changed my lifestyle, I just change how I do a lot of basic errands from driving for 100% to driving for like 50%.
Shiiiit I’ve done it in the snow/cold. (Only cuz I wanted to save my cab $ for weed)
He stayed true to his words,Ā gotta respect thatĀ
Man turned an institutional loss into a personal win. Respect.
I can’t stand Paul pierce. My dislike for him and KU runs deep.
I respect him a lot more after following through on this nonsense. He’s just a dude making good on a goofy ass sports bet, like a lot of sports fans have had to do after getting over their skis in an arguement.
Respect.
There was once a Pittsburgh commentator who said he would walk back to Pittsburgh if the Pirates blew a game. The game was played in Philadelphia, and yes, the Pirates lost.
Walking through the Appalachians after walking across half the state must have been arduous
Rock Chalk baby.Ā
Didnāt he want to do it barefoot?
Nope. I’m sorry, Pierce. You have to do it all over again without shoes.
Exactly! He lied! Heās gotta do it all over again.
To be fair, no way in hell would I walk the streets several miles barefoot, so I am willing to let this slide
Especially in LA, lol. I won’t even wear flip flops without socks, and those must be incinerated upon arrival to the domicile
Bro would arrive to the studio addicted to H
Iām gonna let him off the hook on that one. Nobody should walk barefoot that far on concrete.
He said barefoot and I clearly saw shoes. Doesnāt count, gotta do it again tomorrow.
Bro he did not actually do this. š
No chance he didn’t do this 100% considering he spends most of his time around KG.
Imagine KG finding out that you didn’t keep your word. He’d never drop it. I’d rather just die
He took a break with KG at one point in a video and then when he resumed KG did a flyby with his head out the sunroof.
Please tell me he was also DMX barking.
send da video
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D-LkNTyoLz4
KG a muthafuckin giraffe sticking his 7 foot head out the sunroof while he drives!!!
I like to think that’s just how he drives all the time.
“Wear your seatbelt.”
wth i legit thought it was a dude in a ski mask at 0:22
Just want to add on since so many comments are saying this is fake, Pierce has always been a tough MF.
Poor takes? Yes. Soft? Hell no.
The man got stabbed 10+ times in the offseason and went on to play the season. Probably one of the clutchest shot makers of all time.
Some people need to put down everyone they see. Just a bunch of miserable personalities.
I feel like thatās the whole premise of reddit atp lol
Redditors cant comprehend walking 15 miles
*minutes
He didnāt just get stabbed in the offseason, it was in late September! Like 5 weeks before the season started, and he didnāt even miss a game.
The guy grew up in Compton/Watts, that stays with you.
That’s why they call him The Truth
That is the best compliment you can say about someone: Imagine if they heard you didn’t keep your word. I’d rather die.
All things considered, not a bad hike. 5-6 hour walk. It’s the end of spring in LA. Nice and cool out. People do that for fun.
THE TRUTH
HE LIED
he said barefoot!
I’ll allow it… walking barefoot + hot sunlight is really painful. Also do that in 6 hrs.
walking barefoot in any big US city would get you a disease
I’m very glad that trend that some brainrot viral influencers tried to start never caught on where you go everywhere barefoot and even cut the bottoms of your shoes out if you need to conceal it.
podiatrists love this one simple trick
Heās barefoot under the socks and shoes
You just trying to see feet.
Ikr. You gotta pay for that!
Yup, the truth lied.
“We made iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!”
LMAO. This guy is funny.
Video of KG seeing Paul Pierce walking …. I guess anything is possible.
The visual of KG with his head peaking out of the sunroof is amazing
I like to imagine he is so tall, thatās just how he has to ride around.
“Wear your seatbelt”
WE DID ITTTTT!!!
I fully believe he started in the valley and walked through Westwood to the studio. But there’s no way in hell he walked through the Sepulveda pass. Had some help there
You don’t have to technically walk that way either. He did say he took an extra hour than was estimated.
havent seen all the clip updates, but what’s stopping him from filming a segment. getting back in his car, getting driven over to the next spot. loiter until a half hour passes, film the next segment.
He had security and a guy filming him the entire time.
Iām glad heās got the receipts and security. Plenty of fools out there. Plus heās a Celtic Legend walking in LA
This is deeply loser behavior lol and I think he had a filming crew record the whole thing just so ppl couldnāt accuse him of faking it. Initially I thought that too but he went live on IG- canāt fake thatĀ
[removed]
It’s OK to be skeptical of social media lol
as if walking for 6 hours is that difficult? like, has to be fake cause why?
You’re one of those dummies that believe everything you see on social media
Also as a media member (not that he really need money i know) all of this good for him.
Yep, the only thing bad for PP to do is fake it. People would rather he back out and not do it altogether than try to con ppl into believing he did it when he sat in a car.
Guys like PP, showmen, understand stunts like this garner a ton of good will and ppls affection (even begrudgingly) lol heās also like in decent enough shape that this is exhausting, his feet with hurt and heāll be hot as hell but he did it at a leisurely pace, dressed comfortably and making stops along the way, seeing fans, taking pics, drinking water, ordering uber eats lolĀ
Like in terms of grueling physical exertion an athleteās been through, this canāt even be top 10.Ā
Pierce is only 47 as well. For a former pro who has kept in decent shape this isn’t physically a challenge, its harder mentally just because it’ll be boring as hell.
That would be a pussy move, donāt think anyone is taking this that seriously in the first place.Ā
he starts doing partnered doordash ad reads in a couple of the ig segments too
credit to him and the team for the fun social media nonetheless
People seem to have forgotten this guy got stabbed like 10+ times in the offseason and went on to play the full season.
I hated Pierce as an opponent but heās a tough mf. 6 hours walk isnāt enough for him to risk his rep and ego.
Why tf would he spend 5hours waiting in a car in the middle of nowhere on his journey all morning lol.
that’s definitely possible. but the video right before this one kinda makes me feel like he really did it. he’s a decent actor if not.
He was one of the best athletes in a pro league and is still in shape. This isnāt that hard for him.
Come on, it’s not like he is climbing Everest.
16 miles of walking is a lot, but nothing impossible even for a moderately fit person (leave alone a pro athlete).
I mean literally nothing but who give a shit.
1100 elevation gainĀ ? Thatās light work. Unless you mean thereās no real place to walk except on the side of the highway ? Never been thru there just curious what makes it so unbelievable. The distance seems like the hard part
There is nowhere to walk and a cop would pull over if they saw someone. He did get a very good workout in though covering a lot of ground
Yeah I got you I just pulled up a YouTube video and I see why yall skeptical lol. Aināt no way he walked thru there
And he walked that far in the sun with a robe on and aināt soaked in sweat? Yeah idk bout this one now lolĀ
When I saw his map I was like thereās no way lol. Half of that is also through the burn scar up hayvenhurst in encino. Those are some wild elevation changes.
The national guard is gone so he actually could have done it but thatās 3 hours through the canyon. Call it 2 for a pro athlete
I used to ride my bike up the sepulveda pass and it was brutal.. thereās truly no way.
Yeah there are no sidewalks on stretches of the Pass. Same goes for Beverly Glen.
Someone in the back ground asked if he needed a wheelchair lmaoo
Kudos to him for doing it.
Bro said we got you a wheelchair š
I cant believe he actually did it. You know stephen A wouldn’t have done that shit
Nope. But Stephen A would have talked about why he didnāt do it on every show for the next 2 weeks tho. Then he would play victim when people start clowning him for it.
Hes wearing shoes, it don’t count
we the Knicks delegation respect Paul Pierce for being a man of his word
But we still stand by the slogan Fuck Paul Pierce
Sincerely The New York Knickas
š§”š
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEE
He said barefoot, gotta do it again
it’s not safe to walk LA barefoot, this ain’t Costa Rica yo
Freal, I give him pass for that. Walking barefoot is nastyyy work in LA
Respect to him for actually doing the bet.
RIP his feet though.
Show us the Strava Truth!
Can say a lot of things about Paul Pierce post retirement, but he’s still got that dog in him. Brother is really the truth.
This has to be #1 post all time, this man is a former FMVP and he doubled down and everything hahahah Truth is a legend already but this is godlike hahah
He has atoned for the Celtics sins.
4 game win streak incoming
The man took the walk of shame for how his team played the first two games, lets see if this juju can counter the new popes from villanova juju the knicks have going now.
Look at that California sunshine, blue skies, palm trees
I love you, LA
Alright, you got my respect.
āWe got a wheelchairā lmaoooo
Big props to him for being a man of his word.
I really hoped he said anything is possible upon getting there would have been a good tie in
This is so funny.
Bro he left at like 4 in the morning. Itās like noon in the video. Good for him
Did he actually do it? Lmfao gotta give him major props if he did haha he earned my respect as a Knicks fan. Pierce was always a troll but he was a killer on the court.
If he had live-streamed it and ESPN had a Paul Pierce tracker this would have been so hugeĀ
Get this man a wheelchair š¦½
Did he walk over the canyon? Took the 405fwy? Sepulveda? I gotta see the route he took!
Thatās the mother fucking Truth right there, forever a real one
