The truth does not seem to be harming Paul Pierce.
The Celtics’ great is using the same social media platforms that led him to be fired by ESPN to express to fans that he is doing great after the network decided to let him go after an obscene Instagram post.
“Hey, I just want to thank all of my supporters and my haters and everything,” Pierce posted in a video on Instagram. “Take a look, bigger and better things are coming, baby. Do not worry about that. You fall twice, you get up three times. Always remember to smile, baby. “
Pierce posted a video on 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’s option to post the videos himself.
The 10-time All-Star and soon Hall of Famer has been with ESPN since the start of the 2017-18 season and was a leading analyst on “NBA Countdown and” The Jump “- two of ESPN’s NBA programs premieres.
Pierce also assured fans that he was fine on Twitter.
“I cannot lose, even when I lose, I am winning”, Pierce wrote.
