    Felt sorry for that waitress. She didn't seem amuse by Pierce's "clever" or "sad" pick up attempts.

    Paul's going to end up getting cancelled if he keeps this sort of behavior up.

    He's already canceled. Doesn't seem like he cares. He's beyond rich

    Why would he care ?
    He can live that lifestyle cause he’s rich and famous
    The people canceling him are not rich or famous

    As a player, I can go with Walton because he was on an HOF trajectory and was an MVP before injuries shortened his career. We have precedent for letting athletes into the HOF who, because of injury, may not have the cumulative stats but were dominant/great for a short period of time. Koufax, Sayers, Kurt Warner, Earl Campbell are examples of this. To me, Walton fits in that category.

    As a coach, no question Rudy T belongs. As a player, I would have to take a look at his stats.

    It’s a basketball hall of fame that includes college .
    Not NBA hall of fame

    “I was tired of it anyway, truthfully,” said Pierce. “I got nothing against ’em, but I was getting bored there, stuff was changing all the time, and it just wasn’t the same feeling like it was when we was doing it.”

    Pierce went on to explain that he didn’t realize an Instagram Live video streamed out live and thought he could go back and decide whether or not to post it later. Even worse, he didn’t know other users could record the video and share it online, making it go viral.

    Yet maybe the most interesting tidbit from Beadle’s interview with Pierce is the revelation that LeBron James tried to get the NBA Countdown host fired. Most know about Pierce’s supposed feud with LeBron, going back to when they faced each other as on the court. But apparently, LeBron wasn’t a fan of Beadle either, a grudge that began when she made fun of “The Decision.”

    “He tried,” said Beadle, responding to Pierce bringing up the rumor. “He did try to do that. I was like, ‘Wow, I’m honored that I’m even on your mind. Thank you very much. That’s a weird place for me to be.'”



    Oh, and they address the wheelchair poop thing.

    “If you poop your pants, does it make sense to sit down and mush it in a wheelchair? No. I would walk back there and go straight to the bathroom. Why would I need a wheelchair if I pooped my pants? Like you don’t sit down on your poop, right? It doesn’t make sense. Come on.”

    Paul Pierce now denying he faked an injury again? Nobody cares actually, he sounded like he had a lower IQ than Perkins, which is quite an achievement.
