The former Grand of the Celtics, Paul Pierce, was so confident in his team in match 2 against the Knicks, he said that he would walk to work barefoot “in my dress” if they lost for a second consecutive match in the second round series.
“If the Celtics lose match 2 at home, I promise you, I'm walking here tomorrow,” he said in an FS1 show on Wednesday. “I guarantee this one. Put the house on this match. ”
It was not so great. The Celtics blown up a 20 -point lead in match 2, as they did in match 1, and Lost 91-90.
Pierce seemed to honor his wish on Thursday, saying that he got up the sun for what he said was a 20.2 -mile trip to work in the Los Angeles region. He has published updates on Instagram Live. Pierce made the wise choice not to walk barefoot, but in a bath dress? Yes.
“Very well, it is time for me to go to Steppin,” he said after 5 am, the Pacific, calling himself a “man of my word”.
“I cannot believe that the Celtics have brought me out here like that, Dog,” he said in a subsequent update. “I really walk here like that.”
A little before 9 am, Pierce posted another live of a few heckling on the sidewalk.
“You lost this bet, huh?” One of them said.
Pierce took everything in stride, having fun with them. He said he was halfway at that time.
He posted another video saying that he arrived to work around 1 p.m.
