As a C's fan, its really tough seeing Pierce conducting himself on and off like this since he retired. He really was one of the most underrated players of the 2000s, between his production and just in terms of being a competitor. Honestly the worst thing he ever could've done to his legacy was joining the media. That's when he started making all those outlandish statements which carried over onto his social media, and he's just been hurting his image ever since.

[@kevinsmith8003]

Also, that's what happens when you have SIN HABITS (smoking & drinking). No one, especially Professional Athletes, whether "currently playing" or "retired", should ever develop a craving for SIN HABITS. Legalizing Marijuana (Weed), in some areas of the U.S., was the WORST thing that these dumb Politicians could have ever done. SIN HABITS deteriorate your Immune System and your Brain Cells, which shortens your life span.

[@rubyredjevvel]

It can't be said enough depression is a killer and a monster. Asking for help admitting you need help is hard. Very hard. Some feel like they want to end it all. Millions do. You're in pain but maybe not the pain of an injury or accident. You don't want it to defeat you but many suffer in silence. No one wants to be depressed.

Good video Mr Smith. God bless

[@rell27]

“Y’all might find it funny” Nah bruh it’s embarrassing tbh. Even KG looked uncomfortable smh

[@Seracen]

I respect KG because he's work hard and play hard. Of all the people who been living off that single championship, KG is one that truly deserves the accolades. Hope it doesn't bite him, and it is scummy that Pierce did this to KG.

[@byronpatton-fr9mg]

@Seracen stop lying you know you don’t respect kg the fact that you’re downplaying his chip says it all 😭😂😂😂

[@demichaelbryant6476]

Mad at a man who was off the clock, retired from his profession, and now is living life on his terms. We have to realize that celebrities are people too and most can't be bought

[@krlm2280]

After pierce mom died he took his drinking to another level man is broken

[@herbertbowen2500]

its not what you do its how you do it

[@jaceking5938]

"Sir, were arresting you for murdering that person GRUESOMELY"

[@jennybrooks6084]

yes and no

[@goated3285]

Nah it’s what you do, especially if drugs & liquor is involved. Both altar your state of mind. If you gone do that then do it at your house. One thing I will never forget my father taught me. You get fckd up at home never when you out because how & the hell can you be aware of your surroundings if your mind is not there.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Apparently it’s who does it cuz Stephen a didn’t have that energy when gronk had a bangbus lol.

[@kingzoro6058]

People want to always blame the system but fail to blame themselves when they cost themselves the bag. Stupidity and ignorant behavior cost Paul Pierce his job with ESPN. His same ignorant/belligerent behavior could have jeopardized and compromised Garnett's job. We have to stop blaming the system when we are the ones pressing the live button on Instagram.

[@spsawyer22]

When I was younger I learned from the old heads if you wanna do some stuff that ain't "accepted" you keep that stuff quiet. No pictures/vids etc. Now you got people acting wild on live TV or going on IG live self snitching.

[@natedogg890]

Paul Pierce is worth almost 200 million... Let's be real, he doesn't need an ESPN job

[@ianauki]

​@@natedogg890 don't believe everything you see on the Internet

[@romekool4061]

Paul is a millionaire he does not need a job

[@tonytooshort]

No, we *don't* have to 'stop blaming the system'. The system IS to blame for keeping its foot on our collective necks. BUT that doesn't mean that we don't hold ourselves accountable for doing dumb shi. Like in this situation.

[@megafiredragon3517]

Reminds me of Mike Meyers standing there awkwardly when Kanye went down off

[@traptgenres9751]

Pierce lived up to his name he told the TRUTH

[@dylantolbert7920]

God bless KG! His patience is second to none!

You gonna be called some derogatory terms for caring about an alcoholic friends actions and well being.

[@MarsVee123]

Paul Pierce is officially Rick James 😂😂🤣

[@Qweasd551]

Nah that Paul Pierce KG stream was hilarious and I hope they do it again 😂😂💯

[@bcdixon]

There was no Instagram live back when he was playing . He was probably doing all that stuff but there was no way to broadcast it

[@BrizzyWorldWide]

Mane Pierce was hilarious ! Very unprofessional but entertianing as heck.

[@collins8605]

Did anyone else have trouble hearing the audio? It was really low through my AirPods.

[@leonhughes9014]

he looking like bettlejuice

[@9amMoonwalker]

Who does he have to be "professional" for🤨

[@jabirgorane6023]

I was there it was actually planned for rating purposes.

[@DwayneIsK1NG]

@@9amMoonwalker well first, KG. He invited Peirce there for a reason. It was to watch basketball and analyze and break down the game. Yes you can talk about sports while drunk, but it's hard to break it down (especially the way KG does) when you're drunk. It's disrespectful to KG to come in drunk but then also start talking about the prostitute you rented for a day. The fact that KG started to get uncomfortable tells you a lot cuz dude doesn't usually back down for anything

[@countbuffalo6654]

How come Rob Gronkowski gets to party and have fun, but other black athletes get a negative perception when they have fun and party?

[@Augrills]

Idk. I love Gronk and PP is more fun than any of the clowns on ESPN.

[@gualacheesesteak]

The funny thing about that Lighter being thrown at Pierce and him and Pierce trying to fight is that when he asked “who threw it” with aggression is that the dude who threw it said he did & was trying to fight too but Pierce got quiet

[@libalah]

Rare time I am with Stephen a 100% right on

[@rickyburroughs9379]

Real Talk Steven A...i thank you for using ur platform to be a positive voice for the Brother's 💥The behavior does matter

[@adfreeaccount24]

I feel like Stephen A Smith knows nba players in their professional capacity…and even that is limited. He should understand he doesn’t know these ballers and ex ballers in their personal life…which can be TOTALLY different. Stephen A is a fan like all of us

[@thekingsplacegospeldjc4847]

Exactly....It's called THEIR CHOICE....😮🤔

[@theplaylistusa8025]

What website is that though?

[@chadwickchapman4100]

So i wonder if steve hit up paul pierce to check on him before calling him out on his show...

[@arthursutton2492]

😂😂😂😂😂I find it hilarious That's what pretty much all of them do (single straight millionaires)He's just doing it on camera living up to his name THE TRUTH

[@lonewolfnh89]

KG has had an incredible post NBA career with his business venture. Plus he looks healthy. I'm surprised athletes haven't learned from the Lamar Odom incident at the brothel. Have to be cautious of the location you frequent and the substance you put in your body.

[@trinalewis6489]

Yeah, KG was like look D Wade there!! Lol 😂

[@shareefmccarthan3565]

PP is my favorite player. I became a C's fan because of PP. Hopefully this doesn't be the highlight of his great career or have everyone judging him. I am sure he'll make the turn around that's needed to get the respect back from the public. Respect to SAS for calling the brother out. So he can wake up and see how much influence he has on our people.

[@charlesjulks8267]

Brought tears to my eyes Love my G

[@Jer1miah]

Grown ahh man they don't know you brother.

[@SamuelJ888]

There is always gonna be a group that will drag SAS for calling out someone who clearly needs help. This group is the reason why society struggle cuz they are not man of enough to say enough is enough. Sometimes ppl need a reality check and hopefully this is one of them for Paul.

[@jvjustvibes9103]

EXACTLY

[@damonjohnson7044]

Right

[@Gatorfan_Cavon]

💯💯💯

[@YoungHaveNot]

How does he need help exactly? Because he isnt a company man? Hes out living hia best life, not breaking any laws or disrespecting anyone

[@user-rv5nn4so7g]

Bruh he’s living his life! Damn let da man be him.. everyone ain’t gna walk around being quit with their head down like a little school girl..
