Paul Pierce is a man of his word.<\/p>\n
The NBA legend and FS1 personality made good on his vow Thursday as he chronicled an hours-long walk to work in a bathrobe after his pregame prediction of the Celtics taking Game 2 over the Knicks failed to come to fruition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome to this journey, here I go,\u201d Pierce, 47, said in an Instagram Story as he began the eight-hour, 20.2-mile trip in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Pierce, who began his 19-year NBA career in Boston in 1998, then lamented over the Celtics for putting him in this position after the Knicks rallied from behind to win 91-90 on Wednesday, seizing a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe this, Celtics got me out here like this,\u201d the 10-time NBA All-Star said. \u201cI\u2019m really walking out here like this. I got a long walk to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was only hours earlier that Pierce was sitting comfortably on the set of \u201cSpeak,\u201d where he told viewers he\u2019d walk to the studio the following day in his bathrobe if the Celtics dropped a second straight game to the Knicks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I promise you I\u2019m walking here tomorrow\u2026 15 miles,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cIn my robe, no shoes on, bare feet.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about his confidence level in the Celtics, Pierce said, \u201cYou got a better chance walking out of the studio and seeing a dinosaur\u201d than seeing Boston lose.<\/p>\n
The dino nugget stuck with the \u201cSpeak\u201d social media team as they included a Tyrannosaurus clad in a Knicks jersey in a rendition of how Pierce\u2019s eight-hour adventure would unfold.<\/p>\n

Pierce, who appeared to wear shoes for Thursday\u2019s trek, also griped about the heat as he estimated to be about four miles into the walk.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m over here sweating, though. Man, I need to take a break in a minute,\u201d he said in an Instagram Story. \u201c\u2026 I think I got another 16 miles, been going for about an hour and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n
The reigning champion Celtics are now two games away from elimination as the series shifts to New York starting Saturday with Game 3. <\/p>\n
Pierce, a former first-round draft pick with the Celtics, played 15 seasons in Boston, where he won a championship in 2008 and was named the Finals MVP.<\/p>\n
He was traded to the Nets in 2013 before closing out his career with the Wizards and Clippers.<\/p>\n
Pierce retired in 2017 and pivoted to broadcasting.<\/p>\n
He has been part of the FS1 network since 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
