Paul Pierce’s joking nature may have caught up to him. On Monday afternoon, Pierce set off a bunch of trolling posts on X where he invited fans to send him addresses so he could fight them one-on-one. Pierce clearly wanted to rile people up, as he made posts later laughing about the fact that he had successfully gotten under people’s skins.
“Who wanna scrap forreal not online send me ur address I’ll pull fa the 1v1.”

One person who took notice of these posts, and wanted to take Pierce on his open invitation was famous street fighter Chris Wilmore. In an Instagram post, Wilmore called out Pierce, called him an angry old man (even though he noted they were the same age), and invited him to his promotion, Streetbeefs, to have an official fight, before asking him why he was so angry.
“Ay Paul Pierce, look. I know you’re an older, angry dude. We about the same age. You posted on Twitter I guess it was, that you want someone to pull up and real fight. I’m down to box at Streetbeefs, let’s put it together. You’re a celebrity, I’m always down to box a celebrity. And you’re old like me, why you so angry, brother? Let’s go!”
Chris Wilmore started Streetbeefs as a way to get people to put aside their differences using their fists in official and controlled fights rather than using weapons. His Streetbeefs YouTube channel is wildly successful, with over three million subscribers. A potential fight with Pierce could attract major interest among both Streetbeefs and NBA fans.
Paul Pierce Has A History Of Trolling
For fans hoping that Paul Pierce accepts Wilmore’s challenge to a fight, prepare to be disappointed. Pierce has a history of trolling and antagonizing the basketball fanbase, and it is very clear that he never really had any intention of starting fights with anyone especially since he sent these invitations on social media.
Pierce is a grade-A troll on social media. Recently, he stomped on a Jalen Brunson jersey after the Knicks lost Game 7 of their series against the Indiana Pacers. He explained later that he didn’t want to disrespect Brunson, but Knicks fans, who had gotten on his nerves with their loud praise for their team and their arrogance when celebrating their team.
Pierce, even during his time in the NBA, was notorious for getting under players’ skins. Pierce was an agitator, who would do anything and everything he could to irritate players and force them into making mistakes during games. This antagonizing nature combined with his natural talent made him one of the better players in the league during his career.
These days, Pierce is a media personality, speaking on FS1’s Undisputed with Skip Bayless, and has his own podcast with Kevin Garnett, where they break down the latest happenings in the NBA. Pierce’s troll-like nature comes up during his media appearances quite regularly.
