Paul Pierce has reportedly been dropped from ESPN thanks to an NSFW video he shared on his Instagram Live that quickly went viral.

In the video, Paul Pierce, who was a regular contributor on ESPN’s NBA Countdown and The Jump, is seen getting a massage by two women as the ladies dance suggestively. He also appears to be smoking marijuana.

Sports reporter Ryan Glasspiegel tweeted Monday night (April 5th),

“Source: ESPN parted ways with Paul Pierce effectively immediately”
