NBA legend Paul Pierce is called The Truth for his clutch performances on the basketball court. Notably, Shaquille O’Neal gave him the nickname after an inspiring performance from Pierce against him and the Los Angeles Lakers. After retirement, the Boston Celtics legend has lived up to the name by not hesitating to share his truth. Interestingly, Pierce is now a huge social media personality who shares his unfiltered opinion. When a troll called him out recently, he did not hold back and the fans are loving it.
