Paul Pierce Completes 8-Hour Walk After Celtics Lose Game 2 to Knicks

Paul Pierce, a Boston Celtics legend, made a bold bet that he would walk 15 miles barefoot from his home to the FS1 studio if the Celtics lost Game 2 at home against the New York Knicks. After the Celtics blew a 20-point lead for the second consecutive game and lost, Pierce followed through by posting updates on his lengthy walk, estimated to take over eight hours. The Celtics' collapse, marked by poor shooting and clutch performances from Knicks players like Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges, has put the defending champions in a challenging 0-2 deficit in the series. Pierce's wager and subsequent walk have become a humorous but humbling moment for the former NBA champion, highlighting the Celtics' struggles and his own overconfidence. Despite the Celtics' talent, they now face a tough road ahead to win four of the remaining five games and at least two on the road. Pierce's miscalculation serves as a reminder to be cautious with live predictions, especially on international platforms.
