Pierce -- a Hall of Famer who played 19 seasons in the NBA -- has not yet commented on the situation.
"The Truth" has been working in sports media in retirement, and he just recently made headlines when he agreed to walk all the way from his home in The Valley to his Fox gig in West Los Angeles after losing a bet on a Celtics playoff game.
Pierce was ultimately let go from Fox over the summer -- and he's yet to regularly appear on television since.

Dude seems like a degenerate from everything that's been on camera. I wonder what's his problem. I'm sure he still has money and he's still young so he can still do worthwhile things.

 

[Dem313wayz]

He a functioning alcoholic. I went to Vegas summer league 2 years ago. Seen him with KG and other ex players backstage somewhere. nikka was gone off the liquor. KG was tryna get that nikka to chill

Wow that’s really dangerous he is lucky he only caught a charge.

Means he probably didnt do a field sobriety test or breathalyzer and they had to get a warrant for a blood draw. Ask me how I know
