Kevin Garnett drove past Paul Pierce walking to the studio.
KG is so tall, he’s actually sitting in his seat with the seatbelt fastened.
Do you find something comical about my appearance when I am driving my automobile?
Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall.
This was the largest auto KG could afford
Hey everybody, it’s that kid that laughs at everyone. Let’s laugh at him.
Doubt
Blow them kisses!
Ha ha 👉
I got that reference
I guess so
damn, deep cut
Not if you’re old
Does Wemby just drive with his head sticking out the sunroof like a giraffe?
Wemby sitting in the optional 3rd row controlling the car from there
There’s a picture of Gortat driving in a mini car with his head sticking out of a special made hole. Google it.
Statefarm should make a commercial with them
lol looks like he’s wearing the car like a giant puffer.
This actually made me spit out a little bit of my water, I did not expect this fucking comment lmaooo
“Laughing my ass off off off!”
He’s just like Dino sitting in the backseat while at the drive in theatre.
He was also sitting in the back seat cuz he’s so tall the seat has to go all the way back lol
Bruh he’s so tall he’s got his head out the top and his foot on the brake.
Gives me flashbacks to Dennis Rodman in Double Team with JCVD with his head out of the Mini Cooper’s sunroof.
It’s like a normal person in a bumper car
That’s a little tikes.
I choose to believe that’s how KG always drives, because he’s too tall to fit in his car.
He needs to be ready to yell crazy shit at any other cars or pedestrians
If you aren’t yelling for pedestrians to wear their seatbelts then are you really living?
Seatbelt Tyrone. I can dig that.
He’s like Sweet Tooth in Twisted Metal
Giraffes on the train in Dumbo vibe
I hope he didn’t drive like that in Minnesota in the winter!
I’ve never been a Paul pierce fan, but I gotta give the guy major props for following through. And KG with the cameo is perfect.
KG prob got his location and drove by to make sure it was real
KG might have been slow rolling his car next to Pierce the entire time, shouting out jokes whenever inspiration struck.
Boy if u made this comment a cpl hrs ago you’d be famous 😭
He’s gotten a lot funnier. Earlier in their podcast he used to get offended when they would talk about players being better than him but now he leans into it and will share stories about getting cooked by certain guys. Maybe ESPN had him on a leash
It probably took time for him to shed the ultra competitiveness and take a step back post playing career.
Very few people are good at anything media from the get go, it always takes a few years for them to come into their own. I also think being on ESPN doesn’t help since it’s absolutely garbage.
KG was honestly similar in a way. After he got to grow a bit without the TV language filter he’s really good on his podcast and honestly does great interviews. The one he did with Wade would have never happened when he first started media
The reverse Romo.
I’ve always been a Paul Pierce fan. When I moved to Lawrence, Kansas, in 1995, I called myself Paul because nobody could pronounce my Korean name. I fell in love with basketball that year, and there was a freshman on the Kansas Jayhawks named Paul, so Paul Pierce became my favorite player because that’s perfect 9-year old logic. I always thought it was ridiculous that people acted like it was some sacrilege for him to compare himself favorably to top players when he was a damn good player, a Hall of Famer, and a champion in his own right. It seems like people like him these days, so I’m happy for that.
that is a really awesome story thanks for sharing.
Heh, I’ll add that 2008 was the peak of my basketball fandom. Paul Pierce got his title with the Celtics, and so did the Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament, off Mario Chalmers’s miracle shot. My favorite team from my childhood and my favorite player from my childhood winning in the same year. It was simply amazing. I still follow basketball, but 2008 was peak, and basketball will never make me feel like that again.
I also did live in Boston that year, and the Red Sox won in 2007, and Patriots, I think the NFL season was canceled so that’s too bad. It was a good sport year for me.
legendary few years for you absolutely!
Hey can you do me a favor and take a trip to Boston soon again lol?
Probably want him in NY for the next few days.
He’s honestly looking healthier lately too. Wonder if he cut some bad habits and that’s helping his mental health a bit
The dude walks 15 miles a day. Of course he looks healthy.
He’s talked about it a lot on their podcast. He’s been working out a lot since last summer. He spent the off season training with the Jays and has continued it since then. He also talked about cutting off hookah and drinking less. Recently all the Brandon Jennings stuff got them discussing doing 1 on 1 tournaments, so he’s talked about getting in shape for that too
Paul Pierce in a 1on1 tournament? God damn where can I watch this? Also, is Amar’e gonna be in it?
That one clip where the ESPN anchor was comparing Pierce vs Wade accolades was just pure comedy gold.
Maybe ESPN had him on a leash
Didn’t he say that? Or someone else around the time. ESPN famously makes people do a persona on their shows, like Perkins isn’t really that stupid and awful and an actual racist. He just plays it on ESPN
Listen to him on the Celtics home broadcast, it’s night an day
Yeah Pierce did a podcast with Michelle Beadle I think? right after they both left ESPN and they were both complaining about how the producers would spoon feed them the shittiest takes just to manufacture some debate.
That’s the LA in him. You can take the boy out the hood…. You know the rest.
I mean, I doubt he actually walked the full distance, but at least he went through with the bit
I’m sure he did for the simple reason he’s always cared what his peers thought of him and his word
Big reason why he was an idol for so many of us growing up
Yep big respect to him for actually doing it.
This definitely has to be the most endearing thing PP has ever done
It comes right behind G6 2008 finals, for me personally.
In my unbiased opinion, I disagree.
In my also unbiased opinion, fuck boston
Don’t worry, we’ll be joining yall in Cancun soon enough
Pierce has always been hilarious and up for anything. People just hate him cause he’s a Celtic
Dude’s living the life everyone wants to live. The fun successful uncle who still parties and isn’t tied down. Also an actual great basketball mind and analyst when he’s sober.
I mean he had the worst possible job in Celtics. Survive so many years without help, win the championship with Doc Rivers and manage KG, Allen and Rondo. I would say he did hell of a job. Mad respect for the captain.
And rightly so
Not totally true. I hate em because he spit on our bench players
People shit on them for winning only one championship
But they actually low key won a other one
They won the championship to our hearts
21-6 4th quarter free throws, Game 7, June 17 2010
Never forget
So much facts lol. Big 3 + Rondo celtics are part of my life.
I did not expect him to stand on business, fair play PP
IMO the most endearing thing PP has ever done was bring an escort on set and on air with KG making KG uncomfortable and squirm on camera.
rivals the strippers
Last time Paul did an IG live he was also sweating
where’s Rachel
In Minnesota
https://imgur.com/iwSvcV5?r
Met Paul Pierce when I was a kid in LA. Dude was wearing an all black suit in 90 degree weather.
He was completely drenched.
At least he sweats haha. Paolo doesnt iirc
As in Banchero?
He has a sweating problem. He sweats excessively actually
Yeah search it up. Man doesnt sweat..
Huh??? Paolo sweats excessively and loses upto 7lbs per game. That was major concern when he got drafted
Ah yeah so i did not recall correctly hahah thanks
7 lbs what the fuck? You’re telling me he loses 500+ lbs a year playing basketball? How tf
That was reported before draft. Since that they’ve managed his condition
I met Paul Pierce at a grocery store once. Something about not paying for candy bars yada yada.
… God I suck at this copy pasta thing
Bro said wear your seatbelt lmao
Stay strapped
I’m dying why did he say wear your seatbelt while popping his head out of the sunroof lmaooo
Thats hilarious KG drives like flintstones
Funny how these Boston legends live in LA
Paul Pierce is from LA so he makes a bunch of sense
yea and KG always had a house in malibu
KG almost got traded to LA…wild to think
He was actually traded from Boston to the Clippers as well, but the league said the move was illegal due to involving a coach, Doc Rivers.
I can’t say I like LA, but I gotta admit it is the single best city in the world to live in if you are a sports fan. If you only like a particular team, maybe not, but if you like sports in general it can’t be beat. You can watch football while you have breakfast and you don’t need to worry if MNF goes into overtime you won’t be able to work. Playoff games for all sports are in the evening not stupid at night. If you want to go to a live game, there is always something. You may not be able to afford it, but there is something. The only thing that doesn’t work is if you are a fan of F1, but that is about it.
Damn, I’m in Virginia rn and about to move to LA soon. Recently just got into F1 lol
Tbf, the only good track in America is COTA.
Vegas has been a great race both years. Miami is ass. COTA is goated. But he’s talking about the ungodly hour you have to wake up to watch most races live
Yeah unfortunately Miami just DRS trains too easily, and the track is nowhere near wide enough. Jeddah has the same issue imo
Agree on both tracks, I dislike both. I went to Miami, terrible views, you can’t see anything. Just fences. You see fences.
Pacific Time zone is the best for sure
Sucks if you’re into (non-American) football. PL/Liga/Serie A games start suuuper early.
It was rough in the 2000’s with no NFL in town
I mean this is just west coast lol
His work is there, plus Pierce is originally from LA.
Also LA weather > Boston
More night life
Also LA sugar babies >>> whatever belichick is dating
West Coast Best Coast
Tbf KG does rep the Celtics but he is ride or die Timberwolves at heart
If you can afford to, most people would live in or around LA. Weather is great and there’s always something to do. Any event that happens is done big because it’s LA.
Funny how you made up 6 championships your team didn’t win.
Was not about that, but k man lol
If you want to make it big in media, LA is the place to be. The agglomeration is unbeatable
This shit keeps getting better lmaoo
It really does lol.
Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?
Yes?
KG is always hilarious man.
His “Equilif” is imprinted in my mind
Equilif
whats that?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/SOKqF4hLQi
him trying to same equivalent lol 😂
Loll this is amazing reminds me of growing up and the local failed hoops legend drives by you and says get out the hood.(we all live in almost million dollar homes)
That’s his ride haha
KG drove his ass there
Walk/stream for 100 yards, chill with KG in the car for 30 minutes, rinse/repeat
You right haha
A Celtic who delivers.
DUH DUH DA DUH DUH DA DA DUH DA DA
This is the only good thing about the second round so far for me and fortunately it keeps giving
Two dudes working less than 20 years with generational wealth
PP is a real man, he really walk the walk
Savage. Lol
Game of Zones goat
I really thought someone else was driving with his head out the roof lmao.
KG seems like a great friend to have.
Paul Pierce is a real one for following through on this
Why does he have to pop his head out? KG…BRO.. HAHAHAH dude will never change
KG still talking trash
GTA ass cutscene
Saved the planet and gas for a day
Did they let KG know they make bigger Range/Land Rovers dude looks silly in that Velar.
lmao 😀
modern day forest gump shit
That troll
Gotta love Pierce for following through. Best PR he’s had in ages.
Y’all see the kind of content y’all get when the Knicks are good?
Pierce is a real one
Stupidly awesome
“Wear your seatbelt, man”😂
KG looking like Dino riding in that mf’er 🤣
Popping his head out of the sun roof so easily is hilarious
I love KG and this was pretty funny. Good on PP too. A man honors his bets.
KG is in a little tikes
Anyone know what make/model KG’s SUV is?
Looks like a Range Rover autobiography.
[deleted]
Not that i saw. But he has been posting every hr on his IG since 5 AM PST lol
Fuck LeBron. Gimme this content all day , er’day.
KG doesn’t live in Boston ?
They’re both from SoCal and lived there since retirement iirc.
KG is from South Carolina
fuck, you’re right.
Oh interesting. I know Duncan and Manu live in San Antonio, so I assumed big stars like that tend to retire around these cities.
Wow for some reason I thought Manu went back to Argentina but that’s really cool that he lives in San Antonio. Same with Dirk in Dallas right?
I believe so. I saw someone post on the Popovich post a day or two ago.
Bruh as if that wasnt planned
If you knew your bro was doing a long ass walk of shame, as if you wouldn’t go heckle them.
I mean, KG could just have easily seen PP posting all morning?? Wouldn’t take a rocket surgeon to locate him lmao
I’m certain they texted after the game and PP was all “shit do you think I really have to do this???” and KG was all “yes you fucking do and you may as well make the most of it”.
Along with about 100 more F bombs and other inappropriate words.
N bombs more then anything.
This was also an easy follow through for P, he wasn’t even stabbed before this time…
Does KG also live in LA or is he there for something?
Pretty much everyone lives in LA
He was born and raised in SoCal, both of them know eachoter since their teenage years.
KG only moved to Chicago during Highschool.
Huh? KG is originally from South Carolina.
Does anyone actually believe he walked the whole way? There is not one ounce of sweat on his head or shirt.
How out of shape are you? I don’t typically work to a sweat casually waking down the road especially when it’s not that warm out
If you were walking for “6 hours” on an 80 degree sunny day with the sun right on top at noon, you wouldn’t break a sweat at all? Color me impress
Weather for LA today is sunny, 80 degrees, 50% humidity and 2 miles winds
Except he didn’t walk for 6 hours on an 80 degree sunny day.
He started at 5am when it was in the 50s. He said in the video “I’m half way there”, so this was recorded around 9am (it took him 8 hours) when it was still cool out. The high temperate in that area of LA was only 76 today with a constant breeze.
So yeah, it’s pretty believable that a former pro athlete can walk 10 miles (out of 20) on a cool morning without being noticeably sweaty.
But he walked 6-7 hours. Where the last couple hours is peak sunlight from 11-1.
Also, in his first video, he walk out of his place with shorts( as you can see his calf, but some how he ends up with pants when he arrived? Explain that?
Explain what exactly? Do you think it’s impossible that he didn’t have anyone that could drop by and give him a change of clothes? Or some water? Or real shoes, since walking 20 miles in slippers would legitimately mess your feet up? Or carry a small towel or rag to wipe his face before recording himself?
It would take MORE effort to fake all his updates; making sure he’s exactly where he should be, posting at the correct time, NO ONE seeing that he’s cheating- than to just walk.
and that is more likely than him pretending to walk? sitting in a car the whole time and shooting shots of him walking for a couple of mins for the gram and then hoping back in his car?
It’s like you’re choosing to ignore half of what I’m saying.
Believe what you want. He totally sat around in a car for 8 hours while setting up shots in precisely the right locations, posted at the right times, without a single person in LA catching him fake it.
outside of his posts and his coworkers, there isnt any other post of him walking alone on the streets. so howcome no ones else that isnt tied to him have a post of him walking
Really getting up in arms about a joke. Really though, who gives a shit ?
