Paul Pierce is a man of his word. The Boston Celtics legend and current NBA analyst walked 20 miles from his home to the Fox Sports studio after his former team lost Game 2 of its Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the New York Knicks.

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.
