Paul Pierce was one of the former NBA players who transitioned into being an analyst when he joined ESPN back in the 2016 postseason. However, due to an incident where he broadcast an Instagram live showing how he was surrounded by several women wearing bikinis and smoking blunts, the 2008 champion was fired.<\/p>\n
For context, ESPN is owned by Disney and they value their image greatly. This could be a huge reason as to why the Hall of Fame forward was let go by the company shortly after the incident. <\/p>\n
Comedian TK Kirkland recently shared the reason as to why Pierce was fired from being a broadcaster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u2022 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n “Whatever happened to the old ways? Just walk in and say, ‘Look, motherf***ers. I quit.’ You could do that too, now. Without embarrassing yourself.” Kirkland said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “There is a thing, you could go in and say, ‘I quit,’ and keep it moving. Or have your agent say, ‘Paul wants to get out of his contract, he doesn’t wanna come in anymore.’ Now, since we put all these different stories out, this is gonna be a conspiracy theory, too.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
