The legend of the Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce, will take his steps after his prediction of the Celtics-Knicks of Match 2 ended terribly for him.
The Celtics blew a 20 -point lead in match 1, falling to the Knicks in overtime in Boston. But Pierce, firing with his former team, made a daring prediction before the Tip-off in match 2.
“If the Celtics lose match 2 at home, I promise you, I walk here tomorrow,” he said. “I walk here. I walk here at 15 miles. I walk here in my dress, no shoes on, barefoot. If the Celtics lose,” said Pierce on “speak” from FS1, referring to a Fox studio in Los Angeles.

Pierce may have unleashed his Celtics because they blown another 20 points on Wednesday evening, falling to the Knicks, 91-90.
After watching the Celtics collapse, Pierce went to X to publish how far his walk would be to go to work on time.
And Pierce seemed to be good on his promise, appearing on Live Instagram to capture himself by walking towards the studio, dress and everything.
“It’s crazy, dog. I can’t believe that. It brought me out here like that,” said Pierce. “I sweat. So, I’m about four miles right now. So I think I still have 16 miles?”

His former teammate, Kevin Garnett, even spotted him on the side of the road.
When Pierce finally arrived at Fox Studio, he arrived inside on a wheelchair after his “Walk of Shame”.

Pierce made his bet on live television, but few fans of the Celtics probably thought they would blow another game as they did in match 1. However, they were again frozen on the field, pulling 25% at 3 points.
Worse still, the Celtics did not convert a basket of the field for the last 8:40 of the fourth quarter, allowing the Knicks to return in it as they did on Monday evening.
Jalen Brunson made two free clutch throws that gave New York an advance from one point, and Mikal Bridges, who scored 14 points at the fourth quarter to help the return of the Knicks, blocked a pass from Jayson Tatum to seal the victory as he did on Monday evening when he snatched the Ballon from Jaylen Brown.
