Paul Pierce Bet $2,000 On The Heat In Game 3: “Imma Have To Win This Back At The Blackjack Table”

Paul Pierce was clearly not a happy man after betting $2000 on the Heat to win Game 3.

Ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, former NBA star Paul Pierce had placed his bets on the Heat winning the contest. And evidently, he wasn’t too happy about it.

Kevin Garnett and Pierce had a live stream on their channel, and safe to say, ‘The Truth’ wasn’t pleased with how Miami was faring in the game. “I’m not feeling too good about this game right now. I put a couple of racks on Miami tonight and Denver up 16 in the 4th. Imma have to win this back at the blackjack table. I’m not confident in my two racks. Denver is out here executing.”

And as bad luck would have it for Pierce, the Nuggets ended up winning the contest 109-94, and Nikola Jokic had the first ever 30-20-10 game in NBA Finals history to make for another storyline.


Paul Pierce Hired An Escort And Showed Her To Kevin Garnett During The Live Stream

As if losing the money wasn’t enough, Paul Pierce also put Garnett in a spot when he introduced the latter to his “girlfriend for the day” on the same live stream.

“Kevin, Camiel. So, this is my girlfriend for the day,” Pierce said. “They got a website where you can hire a girlfriend for the day. So I got a girlfriend for the day.”

While Garnett could be seen visibly upset, that thought didn’t deter Pierce as he went about his way, leading fans to believe that he was intoxicated. There was another incident when Pierce wanted to smack a person for throwing a lighter at him. But the situation was handled better by KG.

“Give me a lighter,” Pierce demanded. “Hey, my boy, don’t make me smack you,” Pierce said, to which KG replied: “Relax, man, relax,” Garnett said repeatedly. “Watch the game, lord. Get on the game. Get on the game, P.”

It remains to be seen if Showtime will take some action against Pierce for his actions. But he did give the internet reasons to laugh.
