NBA fans are never deprived of entertainment as the current, as well as the former stars of the league, constantly share interesting stuff via social media. Similarly, a recent tweet from Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce took the fans on a trip down memory lane. Pierce had earlier cut ties with the ESPN network after an Instagram Live session where he was spotted with his friends and some dancers in the background, a sight that was deemed inappropriate by the organization for an employee to display publicly. However, the former Celtics star later clarified the actual reason for his departure from ESPN. Meanwhile, NBA fans on Twitter have erupted in his comment section once again after the 45-year-old posted a hilarious tweet quite recently.

Pierce had an outstanding 19-season-long NBA career averaging 19.7 points in 1,343 games. The legend had represented four franchises in his career, notably the Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers. Following his retirement, he began his career as an NBA analyst with ESPN. Eventually, he lost his job after a controversy in 2021.
