Paul Pierce Fired From ESPN For Racy IG Live Video, Says ‘Bigger & Better Things Coming’

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”

The network has not publicly commented on the decision.

Paul Pierce responded on Twitter with a video of him smiling and the caption,

“Big Things coming soon stay tuned make sure u smile #Truthshallsetufree“
