The former big Boston Celtics, the great Paul Pierce, learned a precious lesson on Wednesday: if you do a weird prediction on live television, you would be better to be ready to follow. Pierce paid for this decision on Thursday, when he traveled 20 miles to the FS1 studio after his prediction of the Celtics turned out horribly.
Pierce got in trouble during an appearance on FS1 on Wednesday. While discussing the eliminatory series of Celtics against New York Knicks, Pierce did A daring proclamation.
“If the Celtics lose match 2 at home, I promise you, I'm walking here tomorrow. I'm walking here. I'm walking here 15 miles. I'm walking here. In my dress. No shoes.

Well, the Celtics lost Wednesday and Pierce suddenly found itself in a difficult situation. Should he risk contempt and ridicule the rest of the FS1 crew and a horde of people on social networks? Or should he really wake up at 3 am and head for the FS1 studio?
Wednesday evening, Pierce seemed to indicate that he was ready to make the trek.
Pierce's screenshot showed that the march of his house at the FS1 studio was actually 20 miles. When on Wednesday television appear, he wrongly said that it was a 15 -thousand walk.
At Pierce credit, he actually followed. Pierce began to document the experience on its Instagram history. While he did not get up at 3 am, Pierce captured the video of himself leaving his house at around 5 am. He told the fans that he would register with them later and, yes, he wore a dress.

Pierce then followed the fans several times as he headed for the studio.
Do we know with certainty that Pierce is walking on the 20 whole miles? Is it possible that he jumps in a car and films videos from time to time to give the impression that he makes all the trip? Does he really make bare feet?
We don't really know, although we hope he wears shoes.
Even if Pierce folds the rules, he deserves the merit of having made the effort. And although he probably regrets his decision, it at least creates entertaining content.
With their loss on Wednesday, the The Celtics have been late 0-2 in the series With the Knicks. While the players of the Celtics probably woke up frustrated on Thursday, at least they know that there is someone who has a much worse morning following the loss.
