Celtics legend Paul Pierce appears to react to news of being let go by ESPN

The Boston luminary had recently posted a video of himself spending time gambling amidst exotic dancers.

While it isn’t entirely certain the video Boston Celtics Hall of Fame nominee Paul Pierce posted on Twitter Monday afternoon is in response to news of his being let go by ESPN, it seems a likely response to news of his sacking from the Bristol Connecticut-based sports news outlet.

Pierce had recently made waves in the wider NBA media sphere with a recent post in Instagram that showed the former Celtic spending time with exotic dancers, and late Monday afternoon reports began to circulate of the Kansas product having been let go as a result. While there was no official word from ESPN confirming Pierce’s sacking, Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy related that the network declined to comment on the issue.

The 2008 Celtic champ has been a regular on shows like “The Jump” and “NBA Countdown” among other popular ESPN productions.

In his Twitter post, Pierce admonished fans to “stay tuned” to “big things coming” — and to smile.
