Paul Pierce has revealed just how many steps it took him to walk 20 miles to work after he lost a playoff bet. On Thursday night (May 8), the 2008 NBA champion posted a screenshot on X of an app highlighting how many steps he took on his nearly 8-hour trek.

Unfortunately for Pierce, the Celtics blew a 20-point lead and lost the game by one point. The sports media professional, who was drafted by the Boston team in 1998 and played 15 seasons, kept true to his promise. He documented the long journey on social media.

Former Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce learned a valuable lesson Wednesday: If you make an outlandish prediction on live television, you better be ready to follow through. Pierce paid for that decision Thursday, as he walked 20 miles to the FS1 studio after his Celtics prediction backfired in horrific fashion.
