Paul Pierce’s wild Celtics loyalty just walked him right back into the internet’s courtroom. Literally. The Boston legend found himself hoofing it for 20 miles after a bold take on FS1 came back to haunt him. Fans had barely recovered from the shock when a video surfaced showing Pierce trekking down the road in a robe, barefoot, no less. It was supposed to be a funny bit — but instead, it stirred up an old debate that’s refused to die.
Now, to rewind a little — it all started with Pierce on FS1, doubling down on his Celtics pride like only he can. While breaking down the playoff matchup against the Knicks, he confidently declared, “If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I promise you, I’m walking here tomorrow. I’m walking here. I’m walking here 15 miles. I’m walking here. In my robe. No shoes on. Barefeet.”
However, when Celtics built a 20-point lead, and everyone thought Pierce would get off easy. But the Knicks had other plans. They clawed back and pulled off a stunning 91-90 win on the road. That loss not only shook Celtics fans — it triggered Pierce’s now-viral trek. Later, he clarified on X that he actually lived 20 miles from the studio. So, he laced up — well, didn’t lace anything — and kept his word. But here’s where things got a bit messy.
After arriving, Paul Pierce was wheeled into the FS1 studio, and then suddenly popped up and walked to his seat like nothing happened. That moment lit up the comment section with throwbacks to the infamous 2008 NBA Finals — the “wheelchair game.”

And now, with fans connecting the dots, the question is about whether the Boston legend’s wheelchair theatrics — both then and now — were ever legit.
