Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has worn a lot of hats over the years. But just recently, it looks like he’s going to add a new one by joining Skip Bayless, a constant critic of LeBron James, over in FS1’s Undisputed.
Entering the NBA as the Celtics’ 10th pick in 1998, Pierce quickly established himself as a franchise player several years later. The Truth would go on to play 10 All-Star Games and be named to four All-NBA teams.
The feather on Pierce’s cap was when he, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce won a championship together for Boston in 2008. During that Finals series with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, the Truth was named Finals MVP.
After retiring in 2017, Pierce joined ESPN as an analyst. He was later let go in 2021 for appearing on a live video with scantily-clad women dancing in front of him. Since then, the All-Star forward was only seen attending live functions, or in podcasts related to the NBA.
Boston Celtics Legend Paul Pierce Joins Skip Bayless In FS1’s Undisputed
Just recently, news of Pierce joining Bayless in Undisputed are making the rounds. According to Ryan Glasspiegel’s article for the New York Post, it’s very likely that the Celtics’ legend will appear on the FS1 show.
“Paul Pierce is likely joining FS1’s “Undisputed” in a contributor role as the NBA season heats up, The Post has learned. Sources said the deal is not finalized but could be as soon as this week,” Glasspiegel wrote.
Bayless is known for constantly criticizing Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James over the years. With Pierce, a personality known for his hot takes on the NBA’s all-time leading scorer as well, the show will somehow elevate its constant coverage of the King.
It remains to be seen whether Pierce will be announced as part of Undisputed this week. If it does happen, LeBron haters will definitely have something to look forward to.
