Paul Pierce might have unintentionally bumped the rating and viewership of The Undisputed. Gilbert Arenas saw the funny side of the story and said this was a genuine slip-up from corporate Paul. He also shared a funny story about Pierce’s Drunk Alter-Ego. Talking about that if the Boston Celtics legend drinks alcohol he is the funniest person around. “When Paul gets this in his system he is the funniest thing moving bro…

However, the executives of Fox Sports might not see it the way Arenas did. Pierce previously too was fired from ESPN for an NSFW moment. It seems the 46-year-old tends to get excited and then regret it later on. As said before Gilbert Arenas’ saw the hilarious nature of the situation and reacted on his YouTube Channel.

Arenas spoke about the time when the two used to play poker together. Being two different personalities Arenas liked wearing headphones and being in the zone. But Pierce, on the other hand, had few drinks and would celebrate his victories like there was no tomorrow. Arenas added, “When Paul wins he going to shove it in your face..”

And Pierce wouldn’t stop there he would think of poker players as nerds and would talk down to them. ” So you know he talks down on them he makes them feel little s**t be funny.”

While Pierce’s action might not be loved by corporate, a certain rapper absolutely loved it. In a recent clip shared by the official Instagram page of Cam’ron and fellow rapper Mase’s, It is What It Is show, Cameron Giles was heard expressing his gratitude to Pierce for making an appearance on an episode. And once again, they made the same offer in the caption for Pierce to officially join the show.

Here’s what went down with Paul Pierce

In a segment on the Pacers’ 121-89 win over the Knicks, Pierce was astonished by the box score line for New York’s Donte DiVincenzo. While making his point, Pierce attempted to get the attention of co-host Keyshawn Johnson, and in doing so, he subsequently grabbed everyone’s attention.

“I just didn’t think what they were doing was sustainable,” the retired NBA star aid on air. Turning to Johnson, Pierce added: “Look at this. The first three games — look at this, look at this n***a, Key.” There was an awkward silence over the commentator’s desk as Bayless kept staring at Pierce for a few seconds to re-assure that he heard what he heard. However, after a beat, Pierce recovered from the moment and continued assessing DiVincezo’s stats.

Arenas believes there shouldn’t be any punishment. I know what they should do nothing right um because at the end of the day if you read in the room right no one’s bashing no one is bashing him or them for what he said. right you know it’s just one of those things where it slipped up it always slips right,” he clarified his stance.

It might not have been the attention FS1 or Skip Bayless envisioned for Undisputed. But again, Pierce blurting the n-word on Live TV took things to the next level. According to DailyMail.com, there have been no comments from Fox Sports.
